Background: Brucellosis in pregnancy is associated with serious outcomes ranging from abortion to neonatal development problems. Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the seroprevalence of brucellosis antibodies among pregnant women presented with spontaneous abortion and still birth. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 80 cases (still birth or spontaneous abortion) and 80 healthy pregnant women were serologically examined for brucellosis antibodies using Coombs, Wright and 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME) brucella agglutination tests. The questionnaire consisting of the following data was prepared for all the participants: gestational age, age, history of abortion, parity, source of dairy consumption, contact with livestock, urban or rural living setup, serological outcomes and education levels. Results: The two groups were not significantly different in term of brucellosis test. Patients in case group with and without infection were not significant in terms of contact with livestock, place of residence, dairy consumption and history of abortion. However, education level was significantly different in the two, seropositive and seronegative, groups. Conclusion: Our study did not find significant number of brucellosis seropositive cases associated with stillbirth and spontaneous abortion. Further studies with greater samples are therefore recommended.

Classi Cation

This study aimed to determine whether maternal age, maternal education , socio-economic status are factors for still births and identify the high risk age group which are likely to get affected , determine the signicant maternal medical conditions which are attributed to stillbirths and signicant obstetrics causes which are attributed to stillbirths. A cross-sectional hospital based study in government medical college hospital, chengalpattu was conducted. Data relating to socio- demographic information , passed obstetric history, associated medical conditions, index pregnancy characteristics where collected . economic classication was based on B.G.prasad's recommendation. medical and obstetric causes classied based on ReCoDe classication. Out of 11023 births from june 2016- may 2017 121 still births incidents were recorded at chengalpattu amounting to 11\1000 still birth incidents. The study showed mothers age between 19 and 21 is high risk group, literacy level has a positive impact in preventing stillbirths, economic status is a inuencing factor for stillbirth and placenta related complications remains a major causative factor of still birth followed by clinical conditions of the mother. The study could not establish any cross dependency on the variables and most of the factors have an independent inuence on the outcome.It is recommended that importance of antenatal care need to be communicated to the society especially to young mothers and practiced efciently

Uncommon Complication

Spontaneous umbilical cord hematoma is uncommon complication during delivery. It is responsible for severe fetal distress or death. We report a case of a 28 year-old primigravida Malagasy woman at the 37th weeks of gestation. She was admitted in the delivery room for beat oscillating on the fetal heart monitoring at the beginning of labour. Cesarean section was indicated for acute fetal distress in monitoring at dilation 5cm of the cervix traduced by some decelerations.  But she gives birth to a still born female fetus by vaginal way short time after. A 5,5 cm hematoma was discovered on umbilical cord. This still birth may be due to anoxia during acute compression of the umbilical vessels by the hematoma. So, placental and cord examinations in cases of unexplained fetal hypoxia and stillbirth are very important.

Prenatal Factors

Perinatal asphyxia is thought to be a significant cause of still birth and neurological sequelae. Although several different patterns of neuronal injury are seen in the newborn, previously little was known about the precise cause and effect relationships. This brief review summarizes recent research which has identified how prenatal factors such as recurrent episodes of asphyxia, gestational age, growth retardation and cerebral temperature may influence the severity and regional distribution of neuronal loss.

Control Study

Background: The study of the risk factors contributing to still birth is imperative in our attempts to bring about a decline in the still birth rate.  By identifying the risk factors, we can understand the areas where specific interventions may be applied to bring about a reduction in the still birth rate. The aim of the present study was to identify the risk factors for stillbirth among the mothers attending Sri Avittom Thirunal Hospital, TrivandrumMethods: This was a prospective hospital based case control study conducted from March 2014- September 2015. Sample size was calculated as 100 cases and 200 controls. Odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were calculated using multi variate logistic regression.Results: The major risk factors associated with still births were maternal age, socio economic status, and obesity, sleep position during pregnancy, primi parity, hypertension and febrile illness during pregnancy. The risk of still birth was 3 times higher among mothers with hypertension compared to the control group.  Although the prevalence of diabetes slightly more in the case group it was not statistically significant. By analyzing all the risk factors in preparing a model 42% of the risk for still birth was contributed by these factors.Conclusions: The modifiable risk factors seen in this study to prevent still births are maternal sleep position during pregnancy, diabetes, hypertension and febrile illness especially urinary tract infection. By better antenatal care we can detect complications like diabetes, hypertension and manage appropriately thereby preventing complications. By screening for urinary tract infections in every trimester morbidity can be reduced.
