Hochrisikopatientinnen

Hochrisikopatientinnen refers to a group of female patients who, due to various underlying conditions or circumstances, have a significantly increased risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period. This elevated risk can stem from a range of factors, including pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. Advanced maternal age, typically considered 35 years or older, is another common factor contributing to higher risk pregnancies.

Furthermore, certain pregnancy-specific conditions can classify a patient as Hochrisikopatientin. These include previous preterm births, multiple gestations (twins, triplets, etc.), and conditions like gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, substance abuse, or inadequate nutrition can also play a role. The primary goal in identifying Hochrisikopatientinnen is to enable proactive and specialized medical care.

Management for these patients often involves closer monitoring, more frequent medical check-ups, and potentially specialized interventions or treatments. This can include targeted screenings, medication adjustments, or the involvement of multidisciplinary healthcare teams. The aim is to mitigate potential risks, ensure the well-being of both the mother and the fetus, and optimize outcomes throughout the pregnancy and beyond. Early identification and tailored management strategies are crucial for providing the best possible care to Hochrisikopatientinnen.
