Background: Placenta plays a very important role in the growth and development of fetus. Objective: To know the correlation between placental weight and perinatal outcome in term antenatal women. Methods: Present prospective case-control study was conducted in the rural tertiary center of Northern India over one year (January-December 2018) on 1,118 term (≥37-≤42 weeks) antenatal women with singleton pregnancy fulfilling inclusion criteria with 559 women with high-risk pregnancy as cases and 559 low-risk pregnant women as controls. Placental weight, birth weight was measured immediately after delivery and compared between the two groups along with gestation, parity, fetal gender, and neonatal outcome. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22 version. Results: Mean placental weight [481.98±67.83 gm vs. 499.47±59.59 gm (p=.000)] and birth weight [2.68±0.53 Kg vs. 2.88±0.4 Kg (p=.000)] was significantly lower in high risk as compared to lowrisk participants, whereas placental birth weight ratio was higher in high-risk cases [18.35±2.37 vs. 17.41±1.38 (p=.000)] respectively. Placental weight was positively correlated with birth weight and placental weight and birth weight increased with increasing gestation in both cases and controls. Male neonates had higher placental weight [492.74±68.24 gm vs. 488±58.8 gm (p=0.224)] and birth weight [2.81±0.5 Kg vs. 2.74±0.45 Kg (p=0.033)] as compared to females. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission was significantly associated with low placental and birth weight (p=.000). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between placental weight, birth weight and neonatal outcome, hence placental weight can be used as an indirect indicator of intrauterine fetal growth.

Incidence of mecoium stained amniotic Fluid ranges from 7-22% and is an alarming sign of fetal compromise. It is associated with poor perinatal outcome. Intrapartum amnioinfusion has been a method to reduce the risk of mecoium aspiration. Aims and Objectives: To determine the fetal outcome in meconium stained liquor. Material and methods: This is a Prospective Case Control Study which was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, National Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Jaipur in the study period of 18 months. A total of 242 patients were included in the study and Were randomly divided into 2 groups and were compared for fetal outcome. Results: Amnioinfusion group(study group) had higher incidence of vaginal delivery and better neonatal outcome. Conclusion: Intrapartum amnioinfusion decreases rate of caesarean section and meconium aspiration syndrome.
