Obstructed labour is an important cause of maternal death in developing countries. Obstructed labour also causes significant maternal morbidity mainly due to infection and hemorrhage and foetal death from asphyxia is also common. Objectives are to reduce maternal and newborn complications by early detection and rapid interventions and to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This Hospital-based prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2013 to June 2014 in Sylhet, MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital. 100 obstructed labour cases were selected those who were admitted in Inpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SOMCH. 100 obstructed labour cases were recorded. The majority (80%) were residents of rural areas in which transportation were difficult, the occupation of the women were housewives mostly (90%) and remaining (10%) were tea-garden worker.75% of the obstructed labour cases did not have any ante-natal follow-up. Most of the cases (70%) were visited Osmani Medical College Hospital by their attendant. 70% Visited at 12-24 hours of labour, (80%) came from a distance of 10-50 kilometers. Cepholo-pelvic disproportion was the major cause of obstructed labour (78%) and cesarean section was the main way of delivery (95%). PPH (4%), puerperal sepsis (4%), rupture uterus (2%), VVF (2%), rupture uterus with shock (1%), were the main complications and maternal death (1%). Obstructed labour was the major causes of poor perinatal outcome and perinatal death (7%). This study revealed high incidence of maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality.Medicine Today 2017 Vol.29(1): 12-14

Objectives: The study was done with the objective to find the perinatal outcome in eclampsia patients and also to find out preventable causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity which are related to eclampsia. Materials & methods: This was a cross sectional observational study carried out in the Eclampsia unit in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period from February 2001 to July 2001. Results: Three hundred patients were selected for study. Three hundred mother's delivered 311 babies (11 sets of twins). Perinatal death(PND) which included stillbirth (SB) and early neonatal death (END) was 29%; stillbirth rate was 158/1000 live birth and early neonatal death rate was 132/1000 live births; 71% babies were born healthy. Maternal and fetal conditions were assessed and its relation with perinatal outcome was analyzed. Convulsion delivery interval > 12 hours, diastolic BP > 110mm Hg and Proteinuria > 3+ had significant higher perinatal death. (P<0.001, <0.01 and <0.001, respectively). Seventy percent babies had low birth weight. Among the live born neonates (n=262) 27.5% had jaundice, 34.7% had no complication and 15.6% had early neonatal death. Pre-maturity was common cause of early perinatal death (54%) and 39% death was due to asphyxia. Conclusion: Still birth, prematurity and birth asphyxia are important causes of perinatal loss in eclampsia, so early referral of eclampsia patients, early resuscitative measures and good neonatal care can improve perinatal outcome.   doi: 10.3329/bjog.v23i1.3053   Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2008; Vol. 23(1) : 20-24
