As compared to non-pregnant women, women with AC were more commonly managed conservatively, odds ratio (OR) 6.1 (5.8\u20136.4). As compared to non-pregnant women, pregnant women with AC more commonly developed sepsis [OR 1.4 (1.0\u20131.9)], developed venous thromboembolism [OR 8.7 (4.3\u201317.8)] and had bowel obstruction [OR 1.3 (1.1\u20131.6)]. Among pregnant women with AC, surgical management was associated with a small but significant increased risk of septic shock and bile leak.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2017-0085_s_996_w2aab3b7b9b1b6b1aab1c16b4Aa\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>AC, in the context of pregnancy, is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Although the literature favors early surgical intervention, pregnancies with AC appear to be more commonly managed conservatively with overall comparable outcomes to surgically managed AC.
