Trends in Gestational Age at Delivery for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy and Adoption of Society Guidelines.
Abstract
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is associated with significant risk of stillbirth which contributes to variation in clinical management. Recent Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine guidance recommends 36 week delivery for patients with serum bile acids >100 umol/L, consideration for delivery between 36-39 weeks stratified by bile acid level, and against preterm delivery for those with clinical features of cholestasis without bile acid elevation.
