Background: All pregnant women, by virtue of their pregnancy status, face some level of maternal risk. Some pregnancies are complicated by problems associated with mother’s health. Most maternal morbidities could be prevented if mother had access to appropriate and timely healthcare during pregnancy. Study was intended to find out prevalence of high risk pregnancy and pregnancy outcome among them in rural area of Nagpur district, Central India.Methods: Community based observational descriptive study was conducted on consecutive sample of 214 pregnant women, who had 20 weeks and above gestational period.Results: Prevalence of high risk pregnancy observed was 33.64% (95% CI 27.31%-39.97%). Caesarean section (OR=7.63, 95% CI=4.04-14.40, P=0.0001) and birth weight less than 2500gm (OR= 3.47, 95% CI=1.47-8.20, P=0.003) were significantly associated with high risk pregnancy. Mode of delivery caesarean section had strong relationship with previous history of caesarean section (OR=37.53, 95% CI=8.64-163.05, P=0.0001) and mothers height less than or equal to 140cm (OR=8.87, 95% CI=1.02-77.32, P = 0.0183). Pregnancy outcome low birth weight was significantly associated with oligohyramnios (OR = 8.45, 95 % CI=1.61-44.48, P=0.003) and history of caesarean section (OR=2.67, 95 % CI=1.01-7.07, P = 0.041).Conclusions: Prevalence of high risk pregnancy was almost one-third in pregnant women in rural area of central India. Mode of delivery caesarean section and birth weight less than 2500gm was significantly associated with high risk pregnancy. History of caesarean section and height less than or equal to 140 cm influence the outcome of pregnancy i.e. caesarean section. Birth weight, LBW (Low Birth Weight) was associated with history of caesarean section and oligohyramnios.

A 12 months study was carried out on 226 pregnant high risk patients attending in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital from January 2008 to December 2008. The aim of the study was to identify various type of high risk pregnancies and to determine social and educational status as well as new born conditions of birth. Among the 226 recruited patients 69.5% came from rural area. Among the 69.5% rural high risk patients 63.69% were illiterate. Live born baby in this study was 95.13%. In our study neonatal out come was excellent. Excellent out come was attributed to early diagnosis of high risk pregnancy and suitable intervention both by Obstetrician and Paediatrician.

Background: In India about 20-30% pregnancies belong to high risk category, which is responsible for 75% of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Early detection and effective management of high risk pregnancy can contribute substantially to reduction in maternal mortality. Objective was to study the prevalence of high risk among antenatal women and also to know the socio demographic factors associated with high risk. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out between Jan. to June 2016. A total of 600 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in PHC Kinaye were interviewed using predesigned, pretested questionnaire. Results: In present study, prevalence of high risk pregnancy was 30.7% and 59.8 were having bad obstetric history, 4% were having pregnancy induced hypertension, 5.5% were elderly gravida, 3.2% were Rh negative and 22.3% were having other risk factors. Factors such as education status of pregnant women, age at pregnancy and parity of pregnant women were found to be significantly associated with the prevalence of high risk. Conclusions: Prevalence of high risk among pregnant women was found to be 30.7%. Detection of high risk in early stages will help in preventing maternal mortality.
