The aim of the study was to find out the risk factors and causes of maternal mortality in rural hospitals of Bangladesh. The retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Jahurul Islam Medical College Hospital with duration of 3 years from May 2009 to April 2012. Total number of maternal deaths was 21 yielding the rate of maternal death as 7.0 per 1000 live births during the study period. The risk factors were age ranging from 21 to 25 years, primigravida, low socioeconomic condition, and less antenatal checkup. Eclampsia was the leading cause of death followed by obstetric hemorrhage, unsafe abortion, obstructed labour.Mediscope Vol. 5, No. 1: Jan 2018, Page 28-32

Objective - To determine the risk factors for obstetric hysterectomy in a second level hospital in Mexico. Methodology.- Epidemiological study of cases and controls from January 2014 to December 2016 at the Child and Women Specialties Hospital of Querétaro. The cases were 56 women with obstetric hysterectomy, controls, 56 women without the procedure, sampling was random simple probabilistic in both groups, analyzed: age, schooling, parity, route of abortion, antecedent of previous cesarean sections, Uterine hypotonia, placental accretismo. For the analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used with chi2 test, student t, odds ratio (O.R.), and I.C. 95%, and a value of p <0.05). Results.-The mean age of the group of cases was 30.3 years (D.E. of 7,139) and the controls of 25.08 (D.E. of 5.979) with a p: <0.05. The factors that showed statistically significant difference (p: <0.05) were: Placental acretism (O.R., 126.17); Hypotonia or uterine atony (O.R., 8.22); Multiparity of 3 or more pregnancies (O.R., 5.11); Age of 28 years or more (O.R. of 4.86), placenta previa (O.R. of 3.11); Antecedent of two previous C-sections (O.R. of 2.77); Route of interruption of pregnancy by cesarean section (O.R. of 2.75) and cesarean antecedent (O.R. of 2.55). There was one maternal death in the case group. Conclusions: Obstetric hysterectomy is an emergency surgery, so the risk factors for this complication must be identified during prenatal care.

Cervical carcinoma is a preventable condition and over 95% of patients with early carcinoma cervix can be cured. But still women dying from malignant disease of all kinds the cervix is the common organ primarily involved. The study was conducted to find out the predisposing factors of carcinoma cervix in our population and to scrutinize the patients in early stages, so that measures can be taken to prevent it. After approval of ethical committee and informed written consent fifty patients from Dhaka Medical College hospital were included in this study from January 2003 to December 2003. Among the 50 patients 36 were between 31to 50 years, 42 patients present with blood stained per vaginal discharge and 40 present with post-coital bleeding. Regarding identifiable risk factors early age of 1st intercourse was most common followed by multiparity. Ninety four percent of patients had squamous cell carcinoma and reminder were adenocarcinoma. Incidence of carcinoma cervix can be decreased by health education with special attention to risk factors and morbidity and mortality can be reduced by detection of cases in early stage when it is still curable.J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2017; 35(3): 110-114

Background: COPDis accompanied with several co-morbidities among which depression is a major one. The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of depression and associated risk factors in patients with COPD in a tertiary level hospital of Dhaka city, Bangladesh.Method: This Cross-sectional study was carried out the Department of Respiratory Medicine of ShaheedShurawardy Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to June 2014. 317 COPD patients were selected by systematic sampling. A questionnaire was administered among the respondents to collect the data regarding their socio-demographic conditions followed by Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) to measure the level of depression.Result: Among the 317 respondents, the mean age was 58.40 and 98.1% were male, 1.9% were female. The proportion of depression among patients with COPD was 81.6% (8 out of 10 COPD patients). Among the all respondents, 23.3% had moderate depression, 14.5% had moderately severe depression, and only 4.7% had severe depression. The risk factors which were found to be involved with the development of depression among COPD patients were stage 2 and stage 3 COPD, onset of COPD ? 40 years of age, literate respondents.Conclusion: The study highlight the importance of routine screening for depression of all COPD patients in all healthcare settings and implementation of strategies for proper management and prevention of depression in those patients.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, December 2015, Vol.7(2); 44-48

Background. This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of Toxoplasma gondii infection among pregnant women in a district-level hospital in Ghana and compared the diagnostic performance of the rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for T. gondii diagnosis. Method. This cross-sectional study included 400 consecutive consenting women in their first-trimester stage of pregnancy. A validated well-structured closed-ended questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic data and possible risk factors of each participant. Blood samples were collected for analysis of T. gondii IgG and IgM using the commercial ELISA Kit and RDT. Results. Seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis was 21.5% and 57.3% based on the RDT and ELISA technique, respectively. Secondary education ( cOR = 1.9 , 95% CI (1.1-3.1), and p = 0.020 ) and contact with cats ( cOR = 1.7 , 95% CI (1.1-2.8), and p = 0.030 ) were significant predictors of T. gondii infection, with the former being the only independent risk factor for T. gondii infection ( aOR = 1.8 , 95% CI (1.0-3.0), and p = 0.034 ) by the ELISA method. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of RDT-IgM against ELISA were 42.9%, 95.9%, and 0.694, respectively, whereas those of RDT-IgG were 31.0%, 91.2%, and 0.611, respectively. The diagnostic consistency between the two methods was fair for both RDT-IgM ( κ = 0.304 ) and RDT-IgG ( κ = 0.201 ). Conclusion. The prevalence of T. gondii infection among pregnant women at Kumasi is 21.5% and 57.3% based on the RDT and ELISA technique, respectively. Secondary education and contact with cats were the major risk factors of T. gondii infection. Using ELISA as the reference, the RDT used in this study for the diagnosis of T. gondii infection has low sensitivity, and therefore, it is unreliable. However, this finding does not invalidate all RDTs because there are several other brands of RDT with good sensitivity and specificity. Further studies to ascertain the performance of other commercially available RDT kits are needed.
