Objective: To find out the situation and causes of anaemia in pregnant women at MMIMSR during the study period with special reference to the severity of the disease and to find out foetal outcome in pregnant women with anaemia. Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, MMIMSR, Mullana, Ambala(India). The study was carried out between the period of october 2012 to September 2014.A total of 200 cases of moderate and severe anaemia were included in the study on the basis of simple random sampling method and 200 cases of non anaemic subjects were included to serve as controls for the anaemic group, during the study period. Hb gm/dl was taken as criteria for deciding anaemia cases and also to classify them according to the severity. Cases were classified according to WHO criteria. Results: Out of 200 cases of anaemia, 70% were moderately anaemic (Hb 7 – 9.9gm/dl) and 30% were severly anaemic (Hb < 7gm/dl). Microcytic hypochromic type of anaemia (82.5%) was more prevalent suggesting nutritional inadequacies as cause of anaemia. Adverse foetal outcome in the form of preterm birth (17%), still birth (3.5%), low birth weight babies (27.5%), neonatal morbidity (23.3%) was more in the anaemic group than non anaemic controls Conclusion: Anaemia in pregnancy has adverse foetal outcome in the form of decreased birth weight, increased perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract Background Rajasthan has been documenting severe anaemia in pregnancy, resulting in low birth weight. Current study was planned to explore potential linkages between exposure to fluoride, anaemia in pregnancy and low birth weight in infant. Methods Antenatal mothers from one fluoride endemic district (FD) and one non-fluoride endemic district (NFD) of western Rajasthan were recruited and followed up till delivery. Data included socio-demographic, lifestyle, diet, medication history. Lab Investigations included Hb, Urinary Fluoride. Results Out of total 1401 women, mean age of women from FD were 23.87 (+ 3.8) yrs and from NFD were 25.53(+ 3.82) yrs. Mean fluoride values in the urine samples of pregnant females were found to be 2.06 (0.0 to 14.4 mg/L) in FD and 1.43 (0.00 to 12.7 mg/L) in NFD. Mean fluoride values in water samples were 0.72 (0.0 to 3.80 mg/L) in FD and 0.21 (0.0 to 2.69 mg/L) in NFD. Mean weight of newborn from FD were 2.92 (+ 0.47) yrs and from NFD were 2.94 (+ 0.56) kg. 22% Newborn in FD and 18% in NFD had low birth weight. Conclusions Infants born in Fluoride endemic area have lower birth weight as compared to non-Fluoride endemic area. Antenatal women in Fluoride endemic areas are more anaemic. Key messages Fluoride endemicity is an important factor to be considered while addressing Anaemia in pregnancy and Low Birth Weight Babies in Western Rajasthan, India.

Background: The relationship between iron deficiency anaemia and low-birth-weight babies during pregnancy remains significant. Low birth weight babies are an increasing risk affecting infant mortality and poor developmental abilities is a rising concern. We aimed to identify the changes in hemoglobin level during pregnancy and study their impact on birth outcomes. This study aimed also to investigate and compare the prevalence of anaemic and non anaemic pregnant women in Boko Bongaon block, Assam in relation to maternal, antenatal and birth-associated factors. Subject/Methods: The study setting is in a rural area of Boko-Bongaon, Kamrup situated 85km away from Guwahati city. The Study design is a community based cross-sectional study done during the period from August 2012 to July 2013. A total of 160 pregnant women were selected by simple random sampling and data collected by house to house visit. Interview was conducted with the use of Predesigned, Pretested structured schedule. Results: We analysed deliveries of 160 pregnant women of which 156 were full term births and 4 still births. There was a statistical significant association between anaemia and birth weight of the babies. Anaemia (Hb<11g/dl), was prevalent in 86% of women, but was not significantly related to the birth outcomes. Conclusion: The present study highlights the importance of regular monitoring of haemoglobin level at intervals during pregnancy to prevent anaemia. Future studies should explore other related risk factors and the reasons for poor birth outcomes in mothers in this population, to inform the design of appropriate public health policies that address this issue

Severity Of The Disease

The major risk associated with low platelet count in pregnancy is the increased risk of bleeding during the childbirth or post that. There is an increased blood supply to the uterus during pregnancy and the surgical procedure requires cutting of major blood vessels. Women with thrombocytopenia are at increased risk of losing excessive blood. The risk is more in case of caesarean delivery as compared to vaginal delivery. Hence based on above findings the present study was planned for Assessment of the Platelet Count in the Pregnant Women in IGIMS, Patna, Bihar. The present study was planned in Department of Pathology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science, Patna, Bihar, India. The present study was planned from duration of January 2019 to June 2019. In the present study 200 pregnant females samples received for the platelet estimation were enrolled in the present study. Clinically platelet indices can be a useful screening test for early identification of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Also platelet indices can assess the prognosis of this disease in pregnant women and can be used as an effective prognostic marker because it correlates with severity of the disease. Platelet count is a simple, low cost, and rapid routine screening test. Hence the data generated from the present study concludes that platelet count can be used as a simple and cost effective tool to monitor the progression of preeclampsia, thereby preventing complications to develop during the gestational period.

Low Birth Weight Babies

Low birth weight babies are babies born with a weight less than 2500 grams. LBW (low birth weight) affects the high mortality rate in infants and is at risk of experiencing obstacles in growth and development. LBW is generally caused due to lack of nutrition and nutritional needs from mother to fetus while pregnant women aged less than 20 years and more than 35 years have the risk of giving birth to LBW. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors that cause LBW based on maternal age and nutritional status. The research method used was observational with a cross sectional study approach. The sampling technique was random sampling at the Regional Haji Makassar General Hospital in the January to July 2015 period with a total sample of 65 people. Analysis using the Chi Square Test. The results showed that there was a relationship between maternal age, nutritional status of LBW with a value (p value = 0.00 <α = 0.05). Maternal age and nutritional status are factors that influence low birth weight where the results of the study indicate that there is a relationship between maternal age and nutritional status on the incidence of low birth weight. To reduce the incidence of low birth weight, it is necessary to increase counseling about the causes of low birth weight babies by health workers, especially midwives to pregnant women to prevent the risk of low birth weight birth.

Introduction: India faces lot of neonatal morbidity. Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) monitoring is being used for monitoring sick new borns as a safe and cost effective method of blood pressure monitoring. But there is no available information on normal values of NIBP for neonates in India. With more stress of government (and advancement) in new born care, establishing normative data of NIBP in Indian newborns should be high priority. Material and Methods: This was an observational cohort study done in a level III neonatal intensive care unit. 164 clinically stable babies on day 1 of life were included. Blood pressure was measured by the Oscillometric method.Results: Progressive increase of blood pressure was seen with increasing birth weight. 10th, 50th, 75th, 95th Centile curves were drawn from available data. For very low birth weight babies (< 1500grams), the values of systolic, diastolic and mean BP (±2standard deviations (S.D.)) were found to be 53.7 ± 1.7, 29.1 ± 1.7 and 41 ± 1.1 mm Hg respectively. For low birth weight babies, i.e. with birth weight 1500-2499 grams, the values for systolic, diastolic and mean BP(±2 S.D.) were 62.2 ± 2.5, 34.8 ± 2.4 and 46.6 ± 2.4 mm Hg respectively. For normal weight babies (more than 2499 grams), the systolic, diastolic and mean BP (±2 S.D.) were 72.8 ± 4.2, 43 ± 4 and 55.3± 4 mm Hg respectively. The rise in systolic blood pressure with rising birth weight was highly significant (p <0.001). Similar were the results for diastolic and mean BPs, (p<0.001 for both),Conclusion: Blood pressure on day 1 of life appears to be directly related to birth weight. The effect is seen in all (i.e. systolic, diastolic and mean) blood pressure values.J Nepal Paediatr Soc 2015;35(2):141-146

BACKGROUND: Thyroid disorder is very common disorders in pregnancy. It is well established that overt and subclinical thyroid dysfunction has adverse effects on mother and the foetus like miscarriages, preterm delivery, preeclampsia, eclampsia, polyhydramnios, placental abruption, postpartum haemorrhage, low birth weight, fetal distress, NICU admission. With this background, we are conducting a study to know the effect of thyroid disorder on pregnancy and its maternal and foetal outcome. METHODS: The present study was carried out in Index Medical College, Indore, MP, India in Department of physiology in collaboration with Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology. It is a prospective random cross-sectional study done over 180 pregnant women (90 pregnant women with thyroid disorder and 90 with normal thyroid) which includes known cases of thyroid disorder. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), fT3, and fT4 tests were apart from the routine blood sample investigations as per FOGSI-ICOG good clinical practice recommendation. Patients are followed up till delivery, and their obstetrics and perinatal outcomes are noted. RESULTS: In our study prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 10.4%. Out of these 90 patients with thyroid dysfunction, complications associated were pre-eclampsia (14.4%), abortions (13.3%), maternal anaemia (11.1%), preterm labour (7.8%), still birth (5.6%), abruption placenta (4.4%). Out of 90 patients with thyroid dysfunction, foetal complications seen were low birth weight (22.2%), NICU admission (15.6%), hyperbilirubinemia (14.4%) and foetal distress (5.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Our result demonstrated that the thyroid disorders during pregnancy have adverse effects on maternal and foetal outcome emphasizing the importance of routine antenatal thyroid screening.
