Asthma in pregnancy has been associated with maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. This study examines the relations of @entity565 in pregnancy, its severity and its treatment to the labor process, maternal and fetal parameters. Hundred and one consecutive @entity748 @entity1 , who gave birth to single babies between November 1993 and November 1994 at the Soroka Medical Center were studied. A group of 77 nonasthmatic @entity1 , matched for age and ethnic origin, who gave birth to single babies during the same period served as controls. A larger percentage of @entity748 @entity1 suffered from @entity1729 than in the control group (p < 0.001). Severe @entity565 was associated with a higher rate of @entity281 than milder @entity565 (p = 0.01). The incidence of smoking was higher among @entity748 @entity1 than among controls (p = 0.037). No association was found between socioeconomic status and smoking or @entity281 . No association was found between maternal @entity565 or maternal use of corticosteroids and the following: maternal @entity101 , maternal @entity6 , low birth weight (< 2,500 g), @entity3152 (< 37 weeks), adequacy of weight to gestational age and Apgar scores. Three @entity1 with @entity4297 were born to @entity748 mothers. When the presentation of the fetus was not cephalic, all the @entity748 @entity1 were delivered by cesarean section, versus only 60% in the control group (p = 0.08). Labor was induced with @entity398 more often in the @entity565 group than in the control group (p = 0.07). We conclude that the labor and neonatal outcome in pregnant @entity748 @entity1 treated medically is good, even when @entity565 is severe and when the @entity1 is treated with @entity288 . There is, however, a relation between @entity565 in pregnancy, especially if severe, and predisposition to @entity281 .
