Control Study

Background: Teenage pregnancy is a risk of adverse neonatal outcome.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to estimate the risk of teenage pregnancy in the adverse neonatal outcomes.Methodology: This case-control study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Dhaka Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh and Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from April to July 1999 for a period of four (4) months. The teenage mothers with the age group of 11 to 19 years who were admitted in the study period was selected as case and pregnant women with the age group of more than 19 years were selected as control group. Perinatal mortality rate was calculated by foetal death after 28 weeks of gestation up to death within one week of delivery per 1000 live births. At birth, babies were examined for any congenital malformation. Gestational age of infants was assessed by Perkins' scoring system. Babies were assessed by Apgar score at l and 5 minutes.Result: A total number of 100 pregnant mothers were recruited for this study of which 50 pregnant mothers were in the case group and the rest 50 mothers were in the control group. Thirty-two babies of teenage mothers were asphyxiated at birth and 56.0% were healthy. At 1 minute, 52.0% babies of teen mothers have more than 7 Apgar score, whereas 86.0% babies born to non-teen mothers showed a Apgar score more than 7 which was also a significant difference. Among the cases, 54.0% babies have birth weight >2.5 kg. On the other hand, 72.0% of babies of non-teen mothers have birth weight >2.5 kg. Higher rate of perinatal morbidity in terms of birth asphyxia, prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), jaundice and septicaemia was found among the neonates of teen mothers than non-teen mothers.Conclusion: In conclusion birth asphyxia, prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, jaundice and septicaemia are most commonly found among the neonates of teen mothers than non-teen mothers.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2017;4(2):44-47

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of hyperoxygenation on surgical site wound infections.Methods: Using prospective randomized study, conducted from January 2018 to December 2018 at Mamata Medical College and General hospital, Khammam. This study includes 100 patients who were going for elective surgery at various divisions of Department of surgery. Patients were assigned randomly to an oxygen/air mixture with a faction of inspiration (FiO2) of 30% (n=50) and 60% (n=50). Administration was started after induction of anaesthesia and maintained for 3hours after surgery.Results: Surgical site infection was recorded in 5 patients (2 of 50, 10%) in the hyperoxygenation group and 11 patients (11 of 50, 22%) in the control group (p<0.05). Time of hospitalization was 5±3 days in the hyperoxygenation group and 9±4 days in the control group (p<0.05).Conclusions: Hyperoxygenation was associated with a reduction in surgical site infection. It also decreases the duration of hospital stay and decreases economic burden.

Background: Several epidemiological studies have identified the association of abnormal ABPI with ischemic stroke. So the goal of this study was to determine the actual relationship of ABPI with ischemic stroke in the context of our country. Materials and Methods: This case control study was carried out in the Department of Neurology, Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. ABPI was measured by Doppler ultrasound machine of 100 patients who were admitted to the Mitford Hospital during the study period. Among them 50 patients with Ischemic stroke, confirmed by CT/MRI scan of brain were considered as ‘case’ and 50 age- sex matched individuals with one or more vascular risk factors (VRF) but without stroke were considered as ‘control’. Then the results of ABPI were compared between the two groups. Results: Among the 50 patients with ischemic stroke (case group) , 74% had normal ABPI and 26% had ABPI< 0.9; on the other hand among 50 age and sex matched individuals (control group) 90% had normal ABPI and 10% had ABPI <0.9. The difference was statistically significant between two groups (p=<0.05).This association remained significant even after adjustment for potential confounders (age, gender, high BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking, ischemic heart disease and family history) in a multiple logistic regression model. Conclusion: The incidence of low ABPI is significantly higher in ischemic stroke patients than the age- sex matched control. Bangladesh Journal of Neuroscience 2013; Vol. 29 (1) : 31-42

Background: Prolonged pregnancy or post-dated pregnancy is that pregnancy which has exceeded duration considered to be upper limit of normal pregnancy that is above 40 completed weeks or 280 days from the first day of last menstrual period. The objective was to evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcome of post-dated pregnancy.Methods: A prospective case control study was conducted on antenatal women for 18 months period from May 2014- October 2015 admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The study group was comprised of antenatal women having pregnancy beyond 40 weeks, and the control group was represented with antenatal women between 37-40 weeks admitted for delivery during this period.Results: The prevalence of post-dated pregnancy was found to be 17.6% and of post-term was 5.69%. Among post-dated subjects LSCS rate was 56.50% and in term (37-40 weeks) patient it was 34.18%. The NICU admission for birth asphyxia was 6.09% among term (37-40 weeks) patients and 17.6% in post-dated pregnancies.Conclusions: Any pregnancy that crosses expected date of delivery, Foetal well-being must be assessed and induction of labour should be considered to decrease the risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Background: Urolithiasis i.e. stone firming disease in the urinary passages is one of the frequently encountered diseases in man. Perhaps the disease is as ancient as the man himself as has been revealed by the archaeological excavation done in different parts of the world such as in Egypt. Aim: Comparative Study of Malondialdehyde, Superoxide Dismutase and Glutathione Peroxidase in Urolithiasis Patients: A Case Control Study Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Datta Meghe Medical College Nagpur in collaboration with Department of Surgery, Division of Urology and Department of Pharmacology. Results: The urolithiasis patients have shown a marked increase in plasma MDA levels. There was a significant increase in the values of superoxide dismutase in patients suffering from urolithiasis (6.26 ± 0.86 µmol/l RBC lysate) as compared to the normal control values (3.40 ± 1.09 µmol/l RBC lysate) in human volunteers (p<0.01).A significantly decreased value of glutathione peroxidase has been observed in patients suffering from urolithiasis as compared to the control group. Conclusion: Enhanced SOD can reduce the formation of Calcium Oxalate crystals and reduce the damage of renal tubular epithelial cell.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the personality characteristics in adolescents with SLE. The research design is a case-control study by means of the Rorschach Method and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale. Study group: 30 female adolescents with lupus, 12–17 years of age. The SLE Disease Activity Index was administered during the period of psychological evaluation. Control group: 32 nonpatient adolescents were matched for age, sex, and socioeconomic level. In the Wechsler Intelligence Scale the mean IQ of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group (77 and 98, respectively, p < .001). In the Rorschach, the lupus patients showed greater difficulty in interpersonal interactions, although they displayed the resources to process affect and to cope with stressful situations. A positive moderate correlation (p = .069) between the activity index of the disease and the affect constriction proportion of the Rorschach was observed: the higher the SLEDAI score, the lower the capacity to process affect. There is a negative correlation between the activity index of the disease and the IQ (p = .001): with a higher activity index of the disease, less intellectual resources are available.
