Key Words Peptic ulcer disease; Perforated peptic ulcer; Pregnancy; Puerperium; Outcomes; Systematic review
Core Tip The correct diagnosis of perforated peptic ulcer in pregnancy was frequently delayed. Almost all patients presented during the third trimester or the first 8 days postpartum. Antepartum incidence increased as the pregnancy advanced. Common symptoms were abdominal tenderness and distension. Early imaging, including plain abdominal X-ray and abdominal ultrasound, may help in earlier and more accurate diagnosis. Early intervention reduced fetal mortality but without influence on maternal mortality. Maternal mortality did not depend on the use of X-ray imaging, perforation location, delivery type, trimester of presentation, and maternal age. Exploratory laparoscopy was never performed during pregnancy, only postpartum.
