Objectives.To determine whether periodontal disease or bacterial vaginosis (BV) diagnosed before pregnancy increase the risk for adverse pregnancy outcome.Methods.We enrolled a total of 252 women who had discontinued contraception in order to become pregnant. The first 130 pregnant women were included in the analyses.Results.Multivariate analysis showed a strong association between periodontal disease and adverse pregnancy outcome (OR 5.5, 95% confidence interval 1.4–21.2;p= 0.014), and a borderline association between BV and adverse pregnancy outcome (OR 3.2, 95% confidence interval 0.9–10.7;p= 0.061).Conclusion.Our study suggests that pre-pregnancy counseling should include both oral and vaginal examinations to rule out periodontal disease and BV. This may ultimately have an impact on antenatal healthcare, and decrease the risk for adverse pregnancy outcome.

Background: In pregnancy, subclinical hypothyroidism is more common than overt hypothyroidism, ranging from 15% to 28% in Iodine sufficient region. Evidence suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in pregnant women and adverse pregnancy outcome.Methods: This hospital based prospective comparative study was conducted over a period of 6 months from 1st July 2018 to 31st December 2018 in department of obstetrics and gynecology SKIMS Soura Kashmir. All the subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and who consented to participate were screened for subclinical hypothyroidism.Results: A total of 175 pregnant women participated in the study and subclinical hypothyroidism was diagnosed in 25 pregnant women (14.2%). Most of our patients were in age group 21 to 30 years (69.1%). Pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism had significant risk of preeclampsia (35%) and higher cesarean section rate (29.6%). Neonate of women with subclinical hypothyroidism had higher incidence poor Apgar score, NICU admission.Conclusions: The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism is high in pregnant women and the gravity of the complications like pre-eclampsia, neonate with low Apgar score, increased NICU admission, overweight the cost of screening. In this view, we propose screening of all pregnant women in the first trimester for diagnosis.

The relationship between life events and some obstetrical complications was studied in a consecutive unselected series of 103 pregnant women. The Paykel interview for Recent Life Events was used. Only complications which occurred after the interview were considered to permit a prospective study. 36 women were disqualified from the study because they presented clear organic disorders or suffered from disorders in the period preceding the interview or during previous pregnancies. Women with complications reported significantly more life events than women without complications and had significantly more uncontrolled events and events occurring in the last trimester preceding the interview. These findings are consistent with the view that certain recent life events play an important role in the onset of some complications of pregnancy and delivery.
