Background: Hypertensive disorders are the most common medical complications of pregnancy with an incidence of 12-22% and are rampant globally. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of spot urinary protein-creatinine ratio keeping 24 hr urinary protein as gold standard in pregnancy induced hypertension.Methods: Spot urinary protein-creatinine ratio was determined in a mid-stream urine sample. 24 hours, urine protein was measured. The correlation between the spot urinary protein-creatinine ratio and 24-hour urine protein amount was done. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value along with diagnostic accuracy was calculated from data.Results: There was a strong correlation between the spot urinary protein-creatinine ratio and 24-hour urine protein excretion (pearson’s correlation coefficient r = 0.824; P <0.0001). The optimal spot P/C ratio cut off point was 0.33, for 300 mg/24 hours of protein excretion, with sensitivity and specificity of 82.8% and 76.1% respectively. Positive and negative predictive value are 58.8% and 91.5%.Conclusions: Spot urine P/C ratio is an accurate, reliable and steady fast, timesaving test which can be used as an alternative method for evaluation of proteinuria in pregnancy induced hypertension and it can substitute 24 hours urinary protein excretion estimation in clinical practice.

Our study assessed the health profile of neonates in relation to anemia in pregnancy and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). This was a retrospective study where a systematic random sampling technique was used to select a total of 1046 case records of pregnant women registered for ante-natal care at Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria, between 2005 and 2009. Socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers, prevalence of anemia and PIH, and neonatal health profile were obtained from the case records and were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson product moment correlation was used to show the relationship (P≤0.05) between maternal complications and neonatal health profile. Majority (68.8%) of the mothers had anemia and 6.7 % had PIH. Majority (97.12%) of the neonates were live births and 2.88% of the neonates were still births, 65.4% of the women with still birth pregnancy outcome had anemia, and 34.6% had PIH. Majority (74%) of the neonates had birth weight within normal range (2.5-4.0 kg) and majority (68%) had normal Apgar score at 5 min of birth (7- 10). A positive correlation existed between the packed cell volume of the mother and the birth weight of the neonates (r=0.740, P≤0.05). A negative correlation existed between the incidence of PIH and the birth weight of the neonates (r=

Background: Hypertensive disorders are common complication occurring during pregnancy which are responsible for maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine the perinatal outcome in pregnancy induced hypertension. Methodology: This study was designed as cross-sectional study and was conducted from April 2013 to September 2013 for a period of six (06) moths. Patients admitted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Shaheed SuhrawardyMedical College Hospital, Dhaka. Data were collected by interview, physical examintions (blood pressure, pulse rate, oedema, heart and lungs auscultation) and lab investigations using a structural questionnaire. Result: Majority of the women belonged to age group 21-25 year. Maximum were (56%) primigravida. The mean gestational age was 34.6 weeks with the range from 28 to 40 weeks. Hyperurecaemia was frequent among patients with pregnancy induced hypertension. Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was secondary to pregnancy induced hypertension which was associated with significantly increased perinatalmortality. Conclusion: In this study, prematurity is frequent in pregnancy induced hypertension and convulsion in nonresponsive patients is associated with significantly increased perinatal mortality.Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, January 2016;2(1): 10-13
