Background: The study aimed to assess the prevalence of Hypertension (HTN), Diabetes mellitus(DM) and other diseases along with comorbid conditions, disease complications and also to assess medication adherence in a tertiary hospital in Karimnagar, Telangana, India.Methods: A Cross sectional study is performed by analysing a total of 500 patient’s individual case safety reports (ICSR). Prevalence of Hypertension and Diabetes along with most prescribed drugs are analysed. Medication adherence is analysed by using Morisky Medication adherence questionnaire scale (MMAS-4).Results: Patients with past history of DM, HTN and other diseases which was found to be 245 (49%) patients. Patients with highest disease prevalence were found to be with HTN (56.73%), DM (31.83%) followed by other diseases like asthma (8.57%), Cerebrovascular accident (4.89%) etc., Total of 66 Patients were ruled out with comorbid diseases. Patients with HTN+DM (47) were found to be highest followed by DM+HTN+CVA (4). MMAS-4 revealed 208 patients were using medication out of 245 patients with previous history. According to MMAS-4 most of the patients were with medium adherence (76). Prevalent drug used for HTN include Amlodipine and for DM Telmisartan+Hydrochlorthiazide.Conclusions: The study revealed that almost half of the admitted patients were with HTN and DM. The patients were counselled properly to adhere strictly to the prescription. Medication adherence to HTN and DM was found to be good in this study. Since the disease complications were also ruled out, the health care professionals are recommended to spread awareness on DM and HTN and disease management in order to control disease and improve health outcomes.

Background: Preeclampsia is the multi-systemic hypertensive pregnancy disorder accompanied by proteinuria. Objectives: To determine the frequency of different presentations of preeclampsia in tertiary care hospital and find out its risk factors. Materials and Methods: Present study was hospital based cross-sectional study and conducted from 1st August 2015 to 31st July 2016 in Gynaecology and Obstetrics department, Liaquat University of medical and health sciences (LUMHS), Hyderabad after ethical approval. A total of 112 pre-eclamptic women were enrolled during the study period by non-probability consecutive sampling. Patients were divided on the basis of their presentations into mild preeclampsia, severe preeclampsia, antepartum eclampsia, intrapartum eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, postpartum preeclampsia, postpartum eclampsia and atypical preeclampsia/eclampsia. All the socio-demographic factors and clinical variables were noted. Frequency and percentage were calculated for categorical variable and mean/standard deviation (SD) for continuous variables. Results: Of the 112 preeclamptic women, 54.5% admitted with antepartum eclampsia, 12.5% with severe preeclampsia, 8.9% with atypical preeclampsia/eclampsia, 8% with mild preeclampsia, 8% with postpartum eclampsia, 3.6% with HELLP syndrome, 2.7% with intrapartum eclampsia and 1.8% with postpartum preeclampsia. Over all, majority of the patients were primigravida (57%), had gestational age >34 weeks at presentation (58.9%) and <7 antenatal visits (88.3%) during their pregnancy. Over all 17.8% had previous bad obstetrical event, 11.6% had previous history of preeclampsia and 64.3% had consanguineous marriages. Conclusion: Different presentations of preeclampsia may help obstetricians to rule out high risk pregnancies and provide antenatal care to patients earlier to prevent complications to both mother and fetus.

There were 266 (66.4%) booked cases while 134 (33.5%) were unbooked cases. 272 (68.0%) patients crossed viable period of pregnancy (more than 28 weeks). Around 56 (14.0%) cases had repeat abortions, 276 (69.0%) cases underwent vaginal delivery and 124 (31.0%) underwent cesarean section. Almost 91 (22.8%) of Babies were low birth weight while others were above 2.5 kg.

Trial Of Labor

Introduction: The rate of primary cesarean section is on the rising trend. Vaginal birth after cesarean section can be an alternative to reduce cesarean section worldwide. Antenatal examination and intrapartum monitoring are the most important factors for a vaginal birth after a cesarean section. This study aims to determine the acceptance of vaginal birth after cesarean section trial in a tertiary care hospital in Nepal. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in Shree Birendra Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal, from March 2019 to March 2020. All pregnant women with a previous history of cesarean section meeting Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology criteria were included. A trial of labor was conducted on the patients who accepted vaginal birth after cesarean section. Results: A total of 85 cases with previous lower section cesarean section were included in the study. Out of which, 75 (88.2%) refused vaginal birth after cesarean section, and only 10 cases (11.8%) accepted to undergo a trial of labor. Five women (50%) had a successful vaginal birth. Complications were less among the vaginal birth after cesarean section group than the repeat cesarean section group. There was no maternal and neonatal mortality. Conclusions: The acceptance of vaginal birth after cesarean section is very low in this study. No complications were observed among vaginal birth after cesarean section in our study.
