ASSESSMENT OF BIRTH WEIGHT AND MORPHOMETRY OF PLACENTA IN PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION IN SIKKIMESE POPULATION

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: anaemia is a major contributor to maternal death in developing countries. Since it reduces resistance to blood loss, death may occur from bleeding associated with normal delivery. Objective: To explore the association between anaemia and maternal and perinatal complications. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Materials and Methods: 100 pregnant women admitted for delivery and having severe anaemia were studied and compared with 100 non anaemic women matched for age, parity, and gestational age. Adverse outcomes analysed were: pregnancy induced hypertension, Postpartum haemorrhage hypertension, Abruptio Placenta,, Infection, Maternal Mortality, Low Birth Weight, and Perinatal mortality. Results : Compared to nonexposed women, exposed women had an increased risk of pregnancy induced hypertension with odds ratio of 5.06 . Postpartum haemorrhage, incidence of wound infection,Intermediate care unit admission were statistically significant in exposed group .However there was no significant difference in maternal mortality among study group.APGAR score <7 in 5 minutes was 18%in exposed group and 5% in non exposed group (p=0.0039). Intrauterine fetal death was 6% in cases and none of respondants from control group had Intrauterine fetal death (p=0.0128). Frequency of low birth weight was 22% in exposed group and 9% in non exposed group(p=0.011). Conclusions: The burden of anemia in pregnant population is still high in eastern region of Nepal. Severe anemia in pregnancy carries significant risk to mother and fetus. Hence preventive measures need to be implemented at community level. Public awareness regarding pre-pregnancy hemoglobin status and importance of antenatal checkup relating with maternal and fetal adverse pregnancy outcome should be initiated.

Background: The prevalence of hypertensive disorder in pregnancy has been well-documented worldwide. In Chinese newborns, the risk of hypospadias in women with hypertension during pregnancy remains ambiguous. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between hypertension in pregnancy and neonatal hypospadias based on a large sample of Chinese people. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at our hospital from 2015 to 2019. Mothers who delivered male infants with hypospadias or those without any malformations were enrolled. Factors such as hypertension, placenta previa, thyroid diseases, hepatitis B, obesity, multiple birth, amniotic fluid, gestational age, birth weight, and in vitro fertilization were collected to establish a regression analysis to assess risk factors for hypospadias. Results: In total, 41,490 mothers and 42,244 male infants were enrolled. The overall incidence of hypospadias was 0.23%. The occurrence rate of hypospadias in pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) group was higher than control group (0.944% vs. 0.186%, RR 5.08), whereas the occurrence rate in chronic hypertension group was 0%. Potential exposure factors were screened for hypospadias, and PIH, multiple birth, hyperthyroidism, preterm delivery, low birth weight, and small for gestational age (SGA) were found to have higher proportion of hypospadias in offspring. After adjustment for potential confounders in the multivariate regression analysis, PIH (OR: 2.437, 95% CI: 1.478–4.016, P<0.01), birth weight (OR: 0.852, 95% CI: 0.795–0.912, P<0.01), and SGA (OR: 3.282, 95% CI: 1.644–6.549, P<0.01) showed a significant relationship with hypospadias. Conclusion: Women with PIH had higher risks of hypospadias in offspring. Lower birth weight, SGA and hyperthyroidism were also statistically associated with hypospadias.
