Paliutina Elena Yurievna, Kozlovskaya Irina Aleksandrovna

The retrospective analysis of 179 pregnancy case records and health histories of newborns was carried out. All patients were divided into two groups: the main group included n=92 women gave birth to newborns in a state of severe asphyxia and the comparison group – n=87 patients who gave birth to newborns with an Apgar score of 8-9. As a result of the study, medical and social risk factors leading to adverse perinatal outcomes were identified. They are re-pregnant primiparas, at delivery time of 34-36 or more than 40 weeks, who live in Yaroslavl region and have burdened obstetric and gynecological history, burdened somatic history of urinary tract infection, impaired fat metabolism, and cardiovascular disease.
