Özet

Trauma is the most common cause of non-obstetric deaths during pregnancy, and it affects 8% of all pregnant women. The post-traumatic mortality rate of pregnant women is twice as that of non-pregnant women [1, 2]. The most common trauma type is blunt trauma (69%), while penetrating traumas are least common (1.5%) in pregnant women [3]. Motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of trauma-related deaths in pregnant women, with falling, domestic violence, burns, assault and stabbing being the other causes [4, 5].
