Early Date

Background: Placenta previa refers to the presence of placental tissue that extends over the internal cervical os.  Placenta previa is linked to maternal hypovolemia, anaemia, and long hospital stay and with prematurity, low birth weight, low APGAR score in newborn. So it is very important to identify the condition at an early date to warn the condition thereby reducing the maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. The present study was aimed to estimate the prevalence of PP, its associated predisposing risk factors and maternal morbidity, mortality and the perinatal outcome.Methods: A prospective observational study for two years was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. Pregnant mothers with >28 weeks of age with H/o ante partum haemorrhage were screened for placenta previa, confirmed by ultra sonography and included in the study. Clinical history, obstetric examination was done and followed up till the delivery. Maternal and foetal outcomes were recorded. Data analyzed by using SPSS version 20.Results: 1.4% incidence of PP was noted, mean age of group was 29.17±1.6 years. Age group of 21-30 years, multiparity Gravida 2-4, previous history of caesarean section and less number of ante natal checkups were significant risk factors and LSCS was most common outcome. Prematurity, low birth weight and APGAR <7 score for 1 minute was common foetal outcomes.Conclusions: Our study strongly suggests foetal surveillance programmes in cases of placenta previa. Measures should be made to bring awareness about PP, in urban slums and to increase medical checkups regularly. Making USG mandatory during every ANC and referral of cases of PP to tertiary care centres would definitely reduce the chances of morbidity and mortality.

Record Keeping

Aim:To study preterm delivery outcomes in a tertiary care hospital in South India. Methods: The study was conducted for a 7 month period from July 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021at JSS Hospital, Mysuru. Relevant details of every pregnant woman who underwent a preterm delivery and the subsequent neonate born were collected and followed till discharge. Results: The prevalence rate of preterm births was 11.81%. There were 44 early preterm deliveries and 88 late preterm deliveries. The most common maternal complications that lead to preterm births PPROM and preeclampsia.36 early preterm and 29 late preterm neonates required an NICU admission. This included 7 pairs of twins in the early preterm and 1 pair of twins in the late preterm. In the NICU, the most common complications noted were RDS, and sepsis.4 neonates remained by mother's side soon after delivery in the early preterm subset, whereas 54 of late preterm neonates were kept by the mother's side soon after delivery. 31 of 40 early preterm, 86 of the 88 of late preterm neonates were healthy and t for discharge. Conclusion:The prevalence of preterm birth rate in our study stands comparable to the reported global average. Preterm births have a multifactorial etiology. Timely referral to higher centers, experienced obstetricians, and a good NICU facility proved helpful to both the mother and neonate. Thorough record keeping also allows a true picture of preterm prevalence on the basis of which, policies and decisions can be made to further improve preterm care.
