In rhesus-positive pregnant women this is done in not always very well-defined indications including trauma, miscarriage, fetal death and diminished fetal movements. The aim of this study is to determine if the detection of FRBC is useful in rhesus-positive pregnant woman. This was done by assessing maternal and fetal characteristics that are more likely to give a positive test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_hmbci-2018-0028_s_998_w2aab3b7b4b1b6b1aab1c16b2Aa\">\n                    <jats:title id=\"d17217e16818_w2aab3b7b4b1b6b1aab1c16b2aAa\">Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a retrospective cohort study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_hmbci-2018-0028_s_997_w2aab3b7b4b1b6b1aab1c16b3Aa\">\n                    <jats:title id=\"d17217e16827_w2aab3b7b4b1b6b1aab1c16b3aAa\">Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 169 FRBC tests were performed in 161 rhesus-positive pregnant women. FRBC were found in 45 (26.6%) of the women. Three patients experienced a miscarriage although their FRBC tests were negative (p = 0.295). Of the seven patients who experienced unexpected stillbirths, three tested positive. The deaths were not less likely to occur if the results had been negative (p = 0.631). There was a statistically significant difference between the different types of trauma indications (p = 0.025): the test was more likely positive if there had been a fall on the ground or staircase or blunt trauma (p = 0.041, 0.026 and 0.018, respectively).
