Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the maternal and neonatal outcome in premature rupture of membranes.Material and Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics &Gynae in Ibn Sina Medical College hospital from October’15 to September’16. The sample size was 110. The maternal and neonatal outcome of pre-labour rupture of membranes in both term and preterm pregnancies was observed and statistically analyzed.Results: Incidence of PROM (premature rupture of membrane) was commonly in primigravida (62.7%). Term PROM was higher (70.92%) than PPROM (29.09%). Aetiological analysis revealed cause is unknown in most of the cases. Infection in 26.4% cases, previous history of PROM 16.3% and history of recent coitus 9.09% cases. Patient delivered by vaginal route 70.91% and LSCS 29.09%. The PROM had higher maternal morbidity (27.8%) like post partum fever 11.8%, wound infection 4.5% and chorioamnionitis 3.6%. Also higher perinatal mortality (4.5%) and morbidity (26.4%) like respiratory distress syndrome 9.09%, birth asphyxia 4.5%, septicemia 5.8%.Conclusion: Antenatal diagnosis to prevent PROM by identifying the risk factors is an important tool in management. Steroid for fetal lung maturity, antibiotics to prevent fetal and maternal infection, induction and/or augmentation of labour in due time and skilled NICU support will speed delivery, reduce hospital stay and infection as well as decrease maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(3) 2018 p.479-483

Objective: The aim of this study was to see the maternal and fetal outcome of preterm pre labor rupture membrane and to identify the risk factors for preterm pre labor rupture membrane. Methods and Material: This was a cross-sectional descriptive type study carried out in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, during April to September, 2005 (6months) in the Department of Obstetric and Gynecology. 50 pregnant women with preterm premature rupture of the membrane (gestational age 29-0 to 36-6 weeks) were included in this study. Results: The mean age of the women was 27.24±6.28years and 36% of them more than 30 years old. Sixty two percent women were multi gravid .Socio-economic condition, level of education and antenatal care of the women was low. Median gestational age of the patient was 35 weeks. Fifty six percent had previous history of PROM, preterm delivery, abortion, MR and dilatation and curettage. Sixty two percent women had history of sexual activity between 2 to 7days. Seventy two percent women had UTI, anaemia, and lower genital tract infection. Mean duration of the latent period was 18.87 ±16.17hours and time interval of rupture membrane and delivery was 27.60 ± 21.127 hours. Eighty four percent patient delivered by vaginal route and Fifty four percent delivered within 24 hours of ruptured membrane. Forty two percent newborn suffered from neonatal asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal jaundice and neonatal sepsis. Thirty two percent women suffered from chorioamnionitis, abruptio placent and endometritis.Conclusion: PPROM is malnutrition and poverty related disease. Antenatal care is an important tool to prevent PPROM by identifying the risk factors and its management. Steroid for fetal lung maturity, antibiotics to prevent fetal and maternal infection and induction and /or augmentation of labor will speeded delivery and reduce hospital stay and infection.

Fetal macrosomia is an upcoming challenge in the field of obstetrics due to its rising incidence. The incidence varies according to ethnicity, genetic differences and anthropometric discrepancies between populations. Obesity, previous history of macrosomia, multiparity, diabetes and post-dated pregnancy are few risk factors associated with macrosomia. Management of macrosomia is a big challenge as no precise guidelines have been set. Macrosomia is associated with multiple maternal and foetal complications like operative delivery, post partum haemorrhage, perineal trauma, shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injury, skeletal injury, birth asphyxia etc. We report a case of foetal macrosomia, weighing 5.5kg which was delivered by LSCS to a woman having BMI - 26.6kg/m² with 39 weeks of pregnancy with history of previous LSCS. There was no maternal or foetal complication. There was no history of diabetes in present pregnancy and inter conception period. Because of rarity of this condition we report this case of foetal macrosomia with a short review of literature.

A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out to analyze prevalence of risk factors for stroke in hospitalized patient in a medical college hospital. 100 patients were chosen using purposive sampling technique. Highest incidence of stroke was between the 6th and 7th decade. Patients came from both urban (54%) and rural (46%) areas and most of them belong to the low-income group (47%). In occupational category; service holder (28%) and retired person (21%) were the highest groups. Most of the study subjects were literate (63%). CT scan study revealed that the incidence of ischaemic stroke was 61% and haemorrhagic stroke 39%. Analysis indicated hypertension as major risk factor for stroke (63%) and major portion of the patients (42.85%) were on irregular or no treatment. Twenty four percent of the patients had heart diseases and out of 24 patients 45.83% were suffering from ischaemic heart disease. The present study detected diabetes in 21% patients. Fifty three percent of the study subjects were smoker, 39% patients had habit of betelnut chewing. Out of 26 female patients, only 23% had history of using oral contraceptives. Majority of the patients were sedentary workers (46%). Thirty seven percent of the stroke patients were obese. Among the stroke patients 9% had previous history of stroke and 3% had TIA respectively. Most of the patients (21%) were awake while they suffered from stroke and the time of occurrence was mostly in the afternoon (46%). This study found that hypertension, cigarette smoking, ischaemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus are the major risk factors prevalent in our community while other risk factors demand further study.

Study Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the maternal and perinatal outcome of conservative managementin PPROM. Design: Descriptive prospective study. Period: One year from August 2006 to August 2007. Setting: Maternal and child health(MCH) Centre PIMS Islamabad. Material and Methods: 50 patients between 28-36 weeks of gestation presenting with PPROM. Results:The mean age was 27+5.1 years, 14(28%) were having gestational age between 28to 32 weeks and 36 (72%) were between 33 to 36weeks of gestation. 34 (68.0%) of the mothers had no history of abortions while 10 (20.0%) had 1-2 abortions and 6 (12.0%) had 3 ormore abortions. Sixteen (32.0%) women had previous PRROM while 10 (20.0%) had previous history of preterm labor. Inversecorrelation was observed between latency period and gestational age. Among 14(28%) women with gestational ages between 28 to 32weeks 10 delivered within 48 hours and 4 after 48 hours. Among 36(72%) women with gestational ages between 33-36 weeks 31(62%)delivered in less than 48 hours and 5 (10 %) women delivered after 48 hours.14(28%) of the 50 babies were admitted in NICU withsepticemia, 7(14.0%) with RDS, hypoglycemia in 2(4.0%) and necrotizing enterocolitis in 3(6.0%). 3 neonates died from septicemia and2 from RDS. On first follow-up 34.0% mothers had infections and 8.0% had post-partum hemorrhage. Conclusions: Expectantmanagement till 36 weeks is a suitable option as gestational age at delivery and birth weight both affect neonatal survival and offer time toadminister corticosteroids to allow foetal lung maturity. Foetal deaths occurred due to septicaemia and RDS with direction co-relationshipwith low birth weight.

Recently elective cesarean delivery rates have increased alongside with emergency cesarean delivery where less information has been conveyed to the women who have been subjected to C-sections. The main objective of C-section is reducing the incidence of maternal and neonatal mortality during childbirth in dangerous situations. It is recommended when there is a risk to mother or child during vaginal delivery. A descriptive type of cross-sectional study design was used. All the data were collected through structured format in questionnaires. The present study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Chittagong Medical College Hospital. The data was collected from 29th September 2019 to 10th October 2019. Most of the patients who were subjected to c section were within the age range of 15-25 (57%). 41% of the cesarean sections were planned whereas 59% were on the basis of emergency and mostly the decision was doctor’s (66%). 58% of the population had enough information before undergoing C-sections and 42% wasn’t fully aware. Among pain medication intake, only 2% of the patients had taken a combination of three pain medications which include paracetamol, metronidazole and suppository. 80% of the patients consumed a combination of paracetamol and suppository whereas only 10% of population consumed paracetamol and metronidazole. 8% of the patients were managed only with paracetamol. 23% of the cesarean patients had a previous history of ceaser and among them some rare special cases had a previous history of 4 ceasers (2%). 43% of the patients suffered pregnancy induced hypertension and 8% suffered pregnancy induced diabetes. 20% of the c section were due to breech presentation and 80% were due to other reasons which included seventeen factors. Patients are not given enough information about C-section and mostly the decisions are taken by the doctors without the consent of the patients.

Abstract Background: Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a commonly reported maternal morbidity that negatively impacts the well-being of women during pregnancy and extends long term into the post-partum period. The burden of maternal morbidity; including pregnancy-related PGP; has been overlooked in Ethiopia to date. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and identify factors associated with pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy in North West Ethiopia.Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women visiting the antenatal care clinic in Obstetrics ‘outpatient department at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital in Gondar. Data were collected by interview method using structured questionnaires, patient medical record reviews, and physical measurements. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression model analyses were used to identify factors associated with PGP. Results: A total of 424 participants with gestational ages ranging from 6 to 39 weeks participated in this study. The age of the study participants ranged from 18 to 44 years with a mean age of (27 ±4.6 years). The overall cumulative prevalence of pelvic girdle pain among pregnant women was 103 (24.3%), 95% CI (20.3, 28.8). The major associated factors with pelvic girdle pain were previous history of pelvic girdle pain (AOR 16.08; 95% CI, 8.47-30.51), previous history of back pain (AOR 1.66; 95% CI, 1.5-4.24) and having children (AOR 1.42; 95% CI, 1.29-3.76).Conclusion: One-quarter of pregnant Ethiopian women reported pelvic girdle pain. Many respondents endured pain on multiple occasions and association with the previous history of PGP might be an episode of relapse. PGP must be considered a major pregnancy-related morbidity, and progress in the intervention of PGP is vital to enhance the quality of life in this population.

Premature Rupture

Background: Premature rupture of membranes is defined as rupture of foetal membranes before the onset of labour. Management of cases of PROM still remains as one of the most difficult and controversial problems in obstetrics. PROM can cause maternal complications like chorioamnionitis, increased operative procedures, puerperal sepsis and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The present study is undertaken to study the labour outcome, maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality in term PROM.Methods: 200 Cases of spontaneous rupture of membranes with gestational age >37 weeks with confirmed PROM by a speculum examination were selected. A detailed history was taken, and gestational age confirmed, general, systemic and obstetric examinations were done. Parameters of maternal and foetal well being were recorded. All study groups received prophylactic antibiotics. Single pelvic examination done, and maternal vitals recorded fourth hourly. All the data was analyzed and statistical significance was calculated using Chi-square test.Results: PROM was common in age group of 20-24 years (35%) with mean age of 22.6 years and SD of 2.8 years, and common in primigravida. Majority of women were admitted within six hours of PROM (41.5%) and Mean duration of induction to delivery interval was 12.9 hours. The mean duration between PROM to delivery was 20.2 hours which was statistically significant. Cesarean sections were more among primigravidas. Failure to progress was the common indication. Maternal morbidity was significant (17.5%). No maternal mortality in the study. Perinatal mortality was 1.5%. Birth asphyxia was the commonest cause. Perinatal morbidity was seen in 26%. Escherichia coli was common organism found in cervical swab culture.Conclusions: In present study, majority was primigravidas and the most common age group was 20-24 years belonging to low socioeconomic status. Maternal morbidity and neonatal morbidity was associated with increased duration of PROM to delivery and infection of the female genital tract with pathogens. Hence an appropriate and accurate diagnosis of PROM is essential for favorable outcome in pregnancy.
