FEATURES OF SOCIAL-ECONOMIC STATUS IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH BRONCHIAL ASTHMA
In order to study the peculiarities of socio-economic status of pregnant women with asthma of various severity, 365 cases have been examined during three periods of 1995-2002, 2002-2008 and 2009-2014. Social characteristics that have been analyzed for the last 18 years include age, social and marital status, financial status of the family, parity, complicated obstetric history, habitual intoxication and its impact on the course of asthma in pregnant women. The results show that the ratio of pregnant women with asthma has risen. Due to the high urbanization of the population, an increasing number of women consider their career the most important, which increases the percentage of nulliparous in older age, affecting both the course of asthma and that of the pregnancy. There is a growing influence of social factors such as lack of material support, marital status which inhibit the positive mood to have healthy pregnancy. Also, despite all the government measures to limit tobacco use, a large percentage of women have familiar nicotine intoxication, which adversely affects the health of a pregnant woman with asthma and her fetus under constant hypoxia.
