The study aimed to find out the factors that cause fetal death in the womb in governmental hospitals in Gaza Strip a controlled study during the period 2018-2019. The study problem was formulated in the following main question: What were the most important factors causing childhood deaths in the womb? The study used descriptive and analytical methods. the study sample was (70) women and (70) controls. For each case, one control was matched. The study found that the average age of cases was (29.60) years compared to (27.1) for controls. The most common maternal risk factors for fetal intrauterine death were parity (24.3%) among cases versus (21.4%) among controls. Medication/substance, congenital anomalies of the fetus, bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy, prolonged pregnancy after birth, and intrauterine growth retardation are the main risk factors. The study recommended conducting a continuing education program for women and nurses about risk factors for fetal death in the womb.

Tahun 2012 angka kematian neonatus di Indonesia yaitu 35 per 1.000 kelahiran, dari angka tersebut 35,9 % disebabkan oleh gangguan pernapasan/asfiksia. Faktor resiko dari ibu seperti usia, paritas, riwayat perdarahan di trimester III dan hipertensi dapat menyebabkan asfiksia pada bayi. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menggambarkan faktor resiko individual ibu terhadap kejadian asfiksia neonatorum di RSUD Rasidin Padang Tahun 2017. Jenis penelitian descriptif. Dilakukan di RSUD Rasidin Padang pada Tanggal 11 Juli 2018, dengan populasi seluruh ibu yang melahirkan dengan bayi asfiksia di RSUD Rasidin, dengan teknik pengambilan sampel total sampling dengan menggunakan kriteria inklusi, dengan jenis pengambilan data yaitu data sekunder, teknik pengolahan data editing, coding, entry data,tabulating, cleaning serta analisa data menggunakan analisa univariat. Dari hasil penelitian ibu yang melahirkan dengan bayi asfiksia didapatkan 22 orang ibu (66,67%) memiliki usia < 20 tahun atau > 35 tahun, sebanyak 19 orang ibu (57,57%) yang melahirkan anak pertama atau anak ke >3, sebanyak 4 orang ibu (12,12%) memiliki riwayat perdarahan timester III, sebanyak orang ibu(9,10%) memiliki riwayat hipertensi. Sebagian besar ibu yang  yang melahirkan bayi dengan asfiksia  memiliki usia < 20 tahun atau > 35 tahun. Sebagian Ibu yang melahirkan bayi dengan asfiksia merupakan anak pertama atau anak ke >3. Sebagian kecil ibu yang melahirkan dengan bayi asfiksia memiliki riwayat perdarahan timester III. Sebagian kecil ibu yang melahirkan dengan bayi asfiksia memiliki riwayat hipertensi. Diharapkan agar meningkatkan pelayanan yang lebih efektif dalam medeteksi persalinan dengan resiko sehinga keadaan ibu dan bayi dapat tertangani secara optimal.   Kata Kunci : Asfiksia Neonatorum, Usia, Paritas, Perdarahan Trimester III, Hipertensi           ABSTRAK                  In 2012 the neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia was 35 per 1,000 births, of which 35.9% were caused by respiratory / asphyxia disorders. Maternal risk factors such as age, parity, history of bleeding in the third trimester and hypertension can cause asphyxia in infants. The aim of the study was to describe the individual maternal risk factors for the incidence of neonatal asphyxia in Rasidin Padang Hospital in 2017. Descriptive research type. It was conducted at Rasidin Hospital in Padang 11 Juli 2018, with a population of all mothers giving birth to asphyxia babies in Rasidin Hospital, with a total sampling technique using inclusion criteria, with data collection types namely secondary data, editing data processing techniques, coding, data entry, tabulating, cleaning and data analysis using univariate analysis. From the results of the research, mothers who gave birth to asphyxial infants found 22 mothers (66.67%) had an age of <20 years or> 35 years, as many as 19 mothers (57.57%) who gave birth to their first child or> 3 children, as many as 4 mothers (12.12%) had a history of bleeding in the third trimester, as many as mothers (9.10%) had a history of hypertension. Most of the mothers who gave birth to asphyxial babies had <20 years or> 35 years. Some mothers who give birth to babies with asphyxia are the first child or> 3 children. A small percentage of mothers giving birth to asphyxial infants have a history of bleeding in the third trimester. A small percentage of mothers giving birth to asphyxial babies have a history of hypertension. It is expected to improve services that are more effective in detecting labor with risk so that the condition of the mother and baby can be handled optimally.

Fetal death refers to the death of a post-embryonic product of conception while in utero or during childbirth, and it is one of the most distressing events faced by women and families. Birth following spontaneous fetal death is termed “miscarriage” if it occurs early in gestation, and “stillbirth,” if it occurs beyond the point of viability. There are substantial between-country differences in the criteria used for reporting stillbirths and these differences compromise international comparisons of stillbirth rates. In high-income countries, a majority of fetal deaths occur due to genetic causes, fetal infection, or other pregnancy complications. Congenital anomalies, placental insufficiency, and/or intrauterine growth restriction are frequent antecedents of fetal death. Maternal risk factors include advanced maternal age, high body mass index, smoking and substance use during pregnancy, prior stillbirth, chronic morbidity, and multifetal pregnancy. Disparities in education and socioeconomic status and other factors influencing maternal health also contribute to elevated rates of stillbirth among vulnerable women.

Placenta praevia is one of the most serious obstetric emergencies, which continues to be an important contributor to perinatal mortality and is responsible for leading maternal and infant morbidity. Very few data on etiology of placenta praevia are available till now. This study aims to explore the maternal risk factors related to occurrence of placenta praevia and its effects on maternal and fetal outcome. This cross-sectional observational study was carried out among 3279 obstetrics patients admitted in labour ward in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital from January to December 2006. Out of 3279 obstetrics patients 93 placenta praevia cases were identified purposively as study subjects. The patients of placenta praevia were selected either diagnosed clinically by painless antepartum haemorrhage or asymptomatic placenta praevia diagnosed by ultrasonography irrespective of age, gestational age, parity, booking status. Pregnant woman admitted with painful antepartum haemorrhage were excluded from the study. With the ethical approval from the Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC), patients were selected after taking their written consent. A structured questionnaire and a chick list were designed with considering all the variables of interest. Out of 93 respondents, 73.88% were associated with risk factors in addition to advanced maternal age and high parity. Among them 24.73%, 33.33% and 7.52% had history of previous caesarean section (CS), MR and abortion and both CS & abortion previously. Patients aged above 30 years were 47% and 35.48% were in their 5th gravid and more; whereas, 31.18% patients were asymptomatic, 68.82% patients presented with varying degree of vaginal bleeding, among them 12.08% were in shock. Active management at presentation was done on 76.34% patients and 23.66% were managed expectantly. CS was done o 82.79% patients and only 17.2% were delivered vaginally. Case fatality rate was 1.07% and about 22% perinatal death was recorded, majority belonged to low birth weight (<1500 gm). About 10% patients required caesarean hysterectomy, 3.22% required bladder repair. Advanced maternal age, high parity, history of previous CS and abortion found to be common with the subsequent development of placenta praevia. Proper diagnosis, early referral and expectant management of patients will reduce prematurity, thereby improvised foetal outcome but to improve maternal outcome rate of primary CS have to be reduced and increase practice of contraception among women of reproductive age.
