Objective: To find out the sociodemographic characteristics, complications of pregnant woman with premature rupture of membrane (PROM) and asses the outcome of it.Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out at the department of Obstetrics & gynaecology of Comilla Medical College Hospital (CoMCH) from January 2009 to December 2009. All pregnant women admitted with PROM during this period were taken as study population. After taking proper history they were categorized as term or preterm PROM on the basis of duration of gestation estimated from 1st day of last menstrual period (LMP), previous antenatal records, clinical examination & also previous ultrasonography (USG) reports. Out of sociodemographic characteristics age distribution and gravidity were noted. Diagnosis was done on the basis of examination and investigations. All the women with PROM were then followed up, management was given according to protocol and caesarean section was performed according to indication. Birth weight and Apgar score of newborns were noted after delivery.Results: There were 198 cases of PROM recorded among 3142 admitted obstetrical patients over one year period. The hospital incidence of PROM was found to be 6.3%. Among them, 57.6% patients were admitted at term and 42.4% patients came before 37 completed weeks of gestation. Most of the pregnant women were between 20-24 years of age (54%), 41% were primigravida (59%) were multigravida. About 48.5% women presented with different complications associated with PROM. Among which 15.7% patients had oligohydramnios, 8.5% patients presented with chorioamnionitis suggested by culture report of high vaginal swab. Urine for culture and sensitivity was also done. About five (5.2%) developed premature labour before 37th week of gestation. About 10% women developed obstetric complications (failed trial) associated with medical diseases. Seventy seven patients were delivered by caesarean section, 16.2% vaginally, 4.04% patients responded to conservative management and 2.5% patients were referred to tertiary centre for extreme prematurity with associated complicating factors. Most of the babies (38.4%) were born with birth weight between 2.1- 2.5kg and 10.3% babies were less than 1.5kg.Conclusion: Term PROM was more in comparison to PPROM and most of them were multigravida. Caesarean section rate was high. Most common complication of was subclinical urogenital infection (53%) next oligohydramnios (25%) & (13.5%) women presented with chorioamnionitis.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2013; Vol. 28(2) : 82-87

Background: The incidences and indications of caesarean sections between the primary caesarean multies and caesarean primies were comparable in respect of their demographical and clinical variables of mothers and their foetal outcomes. Aim and objective of the study was to analyze the incidences and indications of primary caesarean multies and caesarean primies. To compare the incidences and indications of mothers between the primary caesarean multies and caesarean primies. To compare the demographic and clinical profiles of the mothers and babies.Methods: During January to June 2016 total of 3583 deliveries were conducted in Tiruneleli Medical College Hospital, Tamil Nadu, India. Among them 89 and 1168 were primary caesarean multies and caesarean primies respectively. They had been compared according to the objectives.Results: The caesarean incidences were 62.5% among the primies and 4.8% among the multies as Primary. The primary caesarean incidences among the multies were statistically significantly lesser in the 15-24 ages than the primi (P<0.05). 25-29 age bracket the incidences were not differed significantly (P>0.05). After 30 years of age, the incidences were statistically significantly increased among the multies (P<0.05). The birth weight of babies did not show any statistically significant indications between the two groups (P>0.05). The indications of Foetal distress, Severe Oligo hydration and others did not show any statistically significantly difference between the groups (P>0.05). Mal presentation and Ante Partum hemorrhage were significantly more among the multies than primies (p<0.05) and Failed indication and CPD were the significantly lesser indication than the primies (P<0.05).Conclusions: Without reducing the caesarean section rate in primi we cannot bring down the overall caesarean rate of delivery.

Background: There is an alarming rise in caesarean section leading to increased adverse outcomes for both the mother and fetus when compared with vaginal delivery. With this increasing caesarean section rate, there is a concerning increase in the rate of second stage caesarean section. This study highlights includes the rate of caesarean deliveries in the second stage of labour, the indications for delivery and the associated maternal morbidity in this cohort of women.  Methods: This was a prospective cohort review of all women with a singleton, cephalic fetus at term delivered by caesarean section in the second stage of labor between July, 2016 and December 31, 2017 at government medical college hospital Dharmapuri. The main outcome measures were second stage caesarean section, indications and its maternal morbidity.Results: 250 women underwent caesarean delivery in the advanced labor. Among the 250 patient’s majority of them were in the age group of 21-30 yrs. about 76% of the patients were primigravidae and only the remaining 24% were multigravida. The commonest indications for doing caesarean section in the second stage of labor was cephalo pelvic disproportion and non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns. The difficult task was delivery of the deeply engaged head, the increased likelihood of intraoperative and post-operative complications.Conclusions: Cesarean sections done in second stage of labor are associated with several intra-operative maternal complications and morbidity.

Introduction: Premature rupture of membrane or PROM means when membrane ruptures before the onset of labour at a gestational age less than 37 completed weeks. In Bangladesh, every year, around 28,000 women die due to complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Nonscientific intervention in PROM made at various levels intensify the pregnancy complications several times, thereby leading many more deaths of foetus and newborn. Aetiology of PROM is largely unknown. The possible causes are either reduction of membrane strength or an increase in intrauterine pressure or both. Proper diagnostic facilities, proper monitoring and standard protocol in the management can improve the maternal and fetal outcome.Aim and objective: The aim of the study was to observe the incidence, type and maternal and fetal outcome of PROM.Materials and Method: A prospective case control analytical study was carried out at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from May ‘2000 to December‘2000. Total 120 patients were selected for this study among them 60 patients as case (Group A) and 60 patients were taken as control (Group B). Both primi and multigravida with Pregnancy more than 28 weeks with intact membrane as control and spontaneous rupture of membrane taken as case. High- risk patients such as hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, APH, cardiac disease, previous H/O caesarean section were excluded from the study. After taking proper history, speculum examination, some diagnostic investigations were carried out. Findings were recorded in predesigned questionnaire and statistical analysis were done using computerized software SPSS for Windows. A P value < 0.05 was taken as significant.Results: In our study maternal complications were significantly higher in Group A patients (Chi-square test: X2 = 6.263, df= 1, P< 0.05). Number of premature babies in PROM patients (25%) was significantly higher than control group. Perinatal morbidity was found higher in PROM (36.66%) compared to control group (31.66%). Most common morbidity was neonatal jaundice in PROM patients (13.33%) compared to babies of control group (8.33%).Conclusion: This study focused on certain risk factors in relation to PROM which can be preventable and reduce incidence and improvement of maternal and fetal outcome.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 25, No.2, October, 2016, Page 82-86

Background: Perinatal health is influenced by maternal weight gain. Increase in obesity in population and excess weight during pregnancy may be different complications including large for gestational age fetus. As a result cesarean delivery has increased in prevalence. Maternal weight gain during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters is an important determinant of fetal growth Objective: To determine the relationship between maternal weight gain and birth weight of baby at term. Methodology : A cross sectional study was carried among 50 pregnant women at term in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital and Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital during the period of January 2013 to July 2013. Data were collected in pre-designed data collection sheet. Results: This study found maximum (36%) were age group 21-25 years followed by 28% were ≤20 years, 24% were between 26-30 years, 8% were between 31-35 years and only 4% were of 36-40 years. The average age was 25 years. Among these 50 pregnant women, 2 cases (4%) had BMI < 18.5, 15 cases (30%) had a BMI 18.5-24.9, 19 cases (38%) had a BMI 25-29.9 and 14 cases (28%) had a BMI ≥30. The mean birth weight was 2.77±0.33. kg. Mean weight gain was 10.72±3.72 Kg. Conclusion: This study showed that reasonable maternal weight gain significantly increased birth weight of the baby at term. Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2017; Vol. 32(2) : 79-83

Introduction : when a healthy pregnant woman with no obstetric or medical risk factors goes into spontaneous labour, she should anticipate a normal delivery. But still 580, 000 women in the world die from pregnancy and childbirth each year.1 Lack of attention to postpartum care in developing countries is neglected tragedy and requires immediate attention. This study evaluates the incidence of complications of early puerperium and also focuses the specific types of complications and to detect the risk factors associated with these complications. Aims and objectives : Main aim of the study is to evaluate the common complications in early puerperium with special attention to identify the risk factors. Materials and method : This study was carried out in Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Sir Sallimullah Medical College Hospital within the period of March ’2004 to August’ 2004. Two hundred patients were selected for this study who were delivered by caesarean section in these two institutions and complications occurring within 7 days excluding first 24 hours. Patients delivered outside the hospital and with known medical diseases were excluded from this study. Detailed history taking and appropriate clinical examination and specific investigations were done for diagnosis of complications. All relevant informations was noted in prescribed data sheet and results were tabulated and statistical analysis was done. Results : Among 200 cases only 44(22%) cases had early puerperal morbidity.Most of the patients who suffered complications underwent caesarean section for obstructed labour and fetal distress who had trial at home. Many of the patients suffered from wound infection and endometritis (40.9%). Among patients, age group -<20 years suffered from wound infection(53.8%) and endometritis(45.8%) were common in age group 21-30 years. VVF was common in patients in age <20 years.Endometritis (42.2%) was maximum in women with parity 1-3 and wound infection (50%) in women with parity 4-6. Some of the patients had more than one early puerperal morbidity. Maximum number of poor class suffered from wound infection (42.4%).Early puerperal morbidity was more prevalent in women with duration of labour <18 hours and Premature rupture of membrane had relationship with endometritis (15.9%), wound infection (13.6%) and UTI (11.4%). Conclusion : Incidence of early puerperal morbidities is still quite high (22%) and many patients experiences more than one problem at a time.Long term sequelae of early puerperal infectious morbidity should not be neglected as this may interfere quality of life of a woman.

To find out the common indications of caesarean section and complications of this operation, both for mother and baby. This observational study was carried out on 100 cases of caesarean sections, who were operated in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Tairunnessa Memorial Medical College & Hospital. Previous caesarean section and oligohydroamnios with fetal distress contribute the major causes of caesarean section. Contribute the major causes of caesarean section. Common complications are UTI, wound infection. Indications of caesarean section should be properly identified to decrease the unnecessary operation, which ultimately decrease indication of previous caesarean section. Maintenance of proper asepsis would avoid the complications of this operation.Medicine Today 2016 Vol.28(2): 66-68
