Introduction: Compared with a fetus with cephalic presentation, a breech fetus faces increased risk during labour and delivery of asphyxia from cord compression and of traumatic injury during delivery of the shoulders and head. Caesarean section avoids most of this risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of vaginal delivery of uncomplicated singleton breech presentation by evaluating early neonatal morbidity and mortality as well as maternal morbidity following vaginal and caesarean delivery for breech presentation. Materials and Methods: This is a cross sectional comparative study.104 women with singleton breech presentation at term in labour were included consequetively in labour ward of Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH). Informed consent was taken from them. Neonatal and maternal outcome were recorded and statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Results: APGAR at 5 min and Neonatal Intensive Care Unite (NICU) admission were not affected by mode of delivery. Long term neonatal outcome is similar in either mode of delivery. Maternal morbidity and duration of hospital stay is increased in caesarean births. Conclusion: Neonatal outcome did not depend on mode of delivery though maternal morbidity and cost of care is increased following Caesarean Section. Proper selection of cases and by improving skill & confidence in new generation obstetrician, vaginal delivery of singleton fetuses in breech presentation at term remains a safe option that can be offered to a woman in a tertiary care centre.

Background: The present study was undertaken to study the incidence, aetiology and obstetric outcome of breech presentation in pregnancy in a teaching hospital in a rural area.Methods: The present retrospective observational study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Bhaskar Medical College and Bhaskar General Hospital, Yenkepally, Telangana from May 2014 to March 2017. 50 cases of breech presentation were included in the study. Demographic data like age, parity, gestational age of first detection of breech, aetiological factors of breech, mode of delivery, neonatal outcome were noted from case records.Results: The incidence of breech was 1.4% in pregnancies attending Bhaskar general hospital. 74% were in the age group of 20-24yrs & 20% were in the age group of 25-29yrs. Primis accounted for 62% of the study group. Common etiologies of breech presentation were oligohydramnios (28%) and uterine anomalies (28%). No obvious fetal anomalies were noted. Majority (96%) of cases were delivered by caesarean section for breech associated with oligohydramnios, gestational hypertension, intrauterine fetal growth restriction and preterm. Neonatal outcome was good in breech delivered by caesarean section.Conclusions: Breech delivery is a high risk pregnancy with adverse fetal outcomes during pregnancy and labour. Though caesarean section for breech presentation is not universally recommended, caesarean section can reduce the perinatal mortality and morbidity compared to vaginal birth for term breech pregnancy. Mode of delivery should be decided based on the case and obstetrician’s skill.

AbstractObjectivesTo report clinical data on maternal outcome, mode of delivery and immediate neonatal outcome in women infected with COVID-19.MethodsRetrospective data collection.ResultsA total of 8.6% of the total population of hospitalised SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women were admitted to a critical care unit. The premature birth rate for births before 34+0 weeks of gestation among pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 was 7.1%. One newborn (3.6%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 two days after birth and showed symptoms.ConclusionsPregnant women with COVID-19 seem to be at higher risk of invasive ventilation, admission to a critical care unit and preterm birth, and should therefore be considered a high-risk-population.

INTRODUCTION- Cervical insufciency, earlier known as cervical incompetence, is the inability of the cervix to maintain pregnancy till term due to structural or functional defects. Approximately 16.25% of second-trimester pregnancy losses and 2% of premature deliveries are due to cervical incompetence. OBJECTIVE- The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of pregnancy in patients who underwent early (12-16 weeks) cervical cerclage along with oral progesterone supplementation versus those having remedied with high dose intravaginal progesterone supplementation. MATERIAL AND METHODst This retrospective study was conducted in a maternity hospital in Gwalior from 1 January 2018 to th 30 June 2021. Comprehensive history, thorough clinical examination, laboratory investigations, ultrasonography measurement of cervical length, mode of delivery, gestational age at the time of delivery, neonatal outcome, NICU admission, and other parameters were collected from the medical les. patients were divided into two groups. Ÿ Group 1(N-49) – Those who were remedied with high-dose vaginal progesterone supplementation continued uptil 34 wks of gestation. Group 2 (N-49) – Those who underwent Mc Donald type of cervical encerclage at 12-16 weeks along with oral progesterone (10 mg Duphaston twice daily dose) supplementation continued up till 34 weeks of gestation. RESULT- In our study, in the cervical cerclage group, only (4.1%) patients were delivered before 34 weeks while in the vaginal progesterone group (18.4%) patients were delivered before 34 weeks. In the cervical cerclage group (53.1%) patients were delivered between 34-37 weeks while in the vaginal progesterone group, (44.9%) of the patient delivered between 34-37 weeks. In the cervical cerclage group, the cesarean section rate was lower than only the vaginal progesterone group and admission to NICU of babies was also less (22.4%) in this group in comparison to the vaginal progesterone only group (36.7%). CONCLUSION- Our study showed that cervical cerclage plus oral progesterone supplementation in women with extremely shortened cervix signicantly decreased overall spontaneous preterm birth rates, prolonged pregnancy latency, and decreased the overall neonatal morbidity and mortality and is more effective than the vaginal progesterone group.

Abstract BACKGROUND The optimal mode of delivery for preterm infants remains controversial, and routine Caesarean sections (C/S) are not recommended, except for maternal indications. Nonetheless, many preterm infants are delivered by C/S, particularly those in breech presentation, and recent retrospective data have suggested that these infants may have improved outcomes. OBJECTIVES To examine whether C/S as the mode of preterm delivery is associated with decreased mortality and improved short term outcomes. DESIGN/METHODS This retrospective, population-based cohort study examined infants with a gestational age between 23 0/7 weeks and 32 6/7 weeks, born between January 1, 2007 and December 31, 2016, and admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at a single Canadian Tertiary Care hospital. Infants with major congenital anomalies were excluded. Data were abstracted from the local Neonatal-Perinatal database for all infants. Two groups, those delivered vaginally and those delivered by C/S, were compared for major neonatal outcomes including the primary outcomes of death and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), defined as grade 3 or higher. RESULTS A total of 1442 infants met inclusion criteria (784 born by C/S and 658 vaginally). There was no significant difference in neonatal mortality (7.0% vs 7.1%, p=0.925) or severe IVH (6.1% vs 7.4%, p=0.317). There was, however, a significant difference in the incidence of IVH, any grade (19.9% vs 27.5%, p=0.001), which remained after controlling for other significant predictors. There were no other significant differences in the secondary outcomes examined including need for extensive resuscitation, respiratory distress syndrome, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, periventricular leukomalacia, or retinopathy of prematurity. CONCLUSION Caesarean section was not associated with decreased mortality in preterm infants, relative to vaginal births. Caesarean section was associated with a reduced rate of IVH (any grade) and there was a trend towards decreased severe IVH which may warrant further study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze outcomes in fetuses and newborns exposed to infections during pregnancy. Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative study, carried out in a public maternity hospital in Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil. The sample consisted of 145 medical records of pregnant women admitted between 2015 and 2018 with possible vertically transmitted infections. Incomplete medical records or those that did not make it possible to describe fetal/neonatal exposure were excluded. The chi-squared test was used to verify the association between variables. Results: A greater occurrence of congenital syphilis was observed (28.8%). There was more than one outcome in the same individual, such as low birth weight (39%), respiratory distress (20.5%), oligohydramnios (20%), congenital malformation and small size for gestational age (10.8%). Maternal infections and the number of prenatal visits revealed an association with fetal/neonatal outcome (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion: The data obtained indicate the occurrence of unfavorable fetal/neonatal outcomes when related to neonatal infections and indicate the need for strategies that strengthen the coping with vertical transmissions.

Introduction: Adolescent pregnancy is prevalent in Nepal and bears significant consequences to both mother and newborn. Methods: All pregnant women aged 19 years or less who were admitted for delivery at KIST Medical College during 14th April 2017 to 15th July 2018 were included in this study. Maternal and immediate neonatal outcomes were analyzed retrospectively from their medical records. Results: There were 135 pregnant adolescent women out of 1300 deliveries. Preeclampsia was observed in 2 pregnancies. Vaginal delivery (99; 73.3%) was the predominant mode of delivery. Emergency LS CS was performed in 35 (25.9%) deliveries and most frequent indications for LS CS were nonprogress of labor (8/35), breech presentation (8/35) and fetal distress (6/35). 10 (7.4%) babies were born preterm. 23 (17%) babies were born low birth weight. 37 (27.4%) neonates were symptomatic and required neonatal admission. Respiratory distress was the most frequent neonatal problem (29; 21.5%), followed by neonatal sepsis (18; 13.3%) and perinatal asphyxia (9; 6.7%). There were 3 (2.2%) still birth and 2 (1.5%) early neonatal deaths. Conclusion: Adolescent pregnancy was common and associated with increased early neonatal problems.
