Background: Impaired maternal and uteroplacental perfusion can occur in pregnancy with cardiac disease leading to maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity due to increased cardiac load and ventricular dysfunction. This research aims to determine maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies with cardiac disease. Method: This research was a descriptive observational study conducted by a total sampling method and a cross-sectional design. This research used medical records of pregnant women with cardiac disease who gave birth in RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in January 2018-December 2020 as study samples. Result: Among 68 pregnancies with cardiac disease, there were 4 cases (0.87%) found in 2018, 37 cases (2.47%) found in 2019, and 27 cases (1.48%) found in 2020. The highest distribution of pregnancies with cardiac disease was found at 64.7% in the range of 20-35 years old age group; 57.4% in the multiparity group; 38.2% in the range of ≥34 – <37 weeks gestational age group; 86.8% in the high school educational level group; 66.2% in the high-risk cardiac functional status group; 54.4% in the peripartum cardiomyopathy group; and 36.8% with preeclampsia/eclampsia as a comorbid. In this study, maternal outcomes found were maternal mortality at 11.8%; cardiac failure at 70.6%; arrhythmia at 1.5%; and stroke at 1.5%, while perinatal outcomes found were prematurity at 60.3%; low birth weight at 64.4%; IUGR at 37.0%; IUFD at 1.4%; stillbirth at 6.8%; neonatal death at 9.6%; and perinatal asphyxia at 42.5%. Conclusion: The prevalence rate of pregnancies with cardiac disease in RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang was 0.87% in 2018, 2.47% in 2019, and 1.48% in 2020. The most common maternal outcome in this study was cardiac failure, with most in the peripartum cardiomyopathy group, while the most common perinatal outcome was low birth weight, with most in the hypertensive heart disease group.

Background: Cardiac disease is one of the non obstetric problems causing mortality both in pregnancy and labor due to the complications. Preventions for the complications have not been implemented, thus the number of patients which have cardiac disease with complications and perinatal outcome with low birth weight is still high. Objective : To identify maternal and neonatal outcome of pregnant women with cardiac disease in dr. Soetomo Surabaya hospital in 2018. Method: Descriptive retrospective study using medical records in dr. Soetomo Surabaya hospital 2018. Result: We found 1433 pregnancy cases with 51 (3,6 %) patients were having cardiac disease and included in this research. The most common maternal complication was pulmonary hypertension 16 cases. A dead case was found 1 case (1,9 %) with eissenmenger syndrome. We found the perinatal outcome of 30 babies (58.8%) born with a weight of 2500 gram and under. There are 7 patients with cardiac disease that have been corrected (13,7%). Among those 7 patients, 6 had a perinatal outcome with a birth weight of more than 2500 gram. Conclusion : Most pregnant patients with cardiac disease in dr. Soetomo Surabaya hospital 2018 are already having some complications with perinatal outcomes of low birth weight. Therefore, management of cardiac disease in pregnancy to prevent complications by means of preconception counseling, good antenatal care, and appropriate referrels are still needed to improve the quality of maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Abstract Context The effects of maternal subclinical hypothyroidism on pregnancy outcomes are not clear. Objective We aimed to assess potential associations between maternal thyrotropin (thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH]) levels in pregnancy and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Tertiary academic medical center. Patients Women aged ≥18 years with a singleton gestation and no known thyroid disease seen for prenatal care at Boston Medical Center from January 1, 2003 through May 22, 2014, and their fetuses and infants were included. Main Outcome Measures Risk ratios of adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes. Results A total of 8,413 pregnant women (mean age 29.1 years, 15% white, 60% black, 13% Hispanic) and their fetuses and infants (mean gestational age at birth 38.5 weeks, 52% male, mean birth weight 3.2 kg) were included in the analyses. The median (interquartile range) TSH level was 1.06(0.62–1.60) mIU/L, and 130 women (1.6%) had TSH &gt; 4 mIU/L. Maternal TSH levels &gt; 4 mIU/L were associated with increased risks of prematurity (risk ratio [RR] 2.17 [95% confidence interval 1.15–4.07] P = .016) and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (RR 2.83 [95% confidence interval 1.02–7.86] P = .046) compared to TSH levels ≤ 4 mIU/L. Although not statistically significant, TSH levels &gt; 4 mIU/L were also associated with increased RRs for fetal loss, preeclampsia/eclampsia, and low birth weight. TSH levels &gt; 4 mIU/L were not associated with preterm labor, placental abruption, cesarean section, gestational hypertension or diabetes, or neonatal intensive care unit admission. Conclusion Maternal serum TSH concentration &gt; 4 mIU/L in pregnancy was associated with approximately 2-fold increased risks of prematurity and RDS in offspring. Elevated TSH was also associated with statistically non-significant increases in the risk of fetal loss, preeclampsia/eclampsia, and low birth weight.

Background: Pregnancy may increase the risk of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection because of pregnancy induced immune suppression. The objective of this study was to use a large population-based dataset to estimate the prevalence of HPV infection and its association with adverse outcomes among pregnant women. Methods: We analyzed Pregnancy Risk Monitoring System data from 2004-2011 (N=26,085) to estimate the self-reported HPV infection. Survey logistic procedures were used to examine the relationship between HPV infection and adverse perinatal outcomes. Results: Approximately 1.4% of women were estimated to have HPV infection during their pregnancy. The prevalence of adverse outcomes in this sample was preterm birth (8.4%), preeclampsia (7.5%), low birth weight (6.3%) and premature rupture of membranes (2.8%). Compared to women without HPV infection, HPV infection positive women were much more likely to have had other infections such as chlamydia (9.23% vs. 2.12%, p-value <.0001), Group B Strep (21.7% vs. 10.04%, p-value <.0001), and herpes (7.17% vs. 1.07%, p-value <.0001). After adjusting for other risk factors including other infections, HPV infection was significantly associated with low birth weight (OR: 1.94, 95% CI: 1.14-3.30). Conclusion: The study indicated a potential association between HPV infection and low birth weight. Because pregnant women with HPV infection are at higher risk of other infections, future research may focus on the roles of co-infection in the development of adverse perinatal effects.

Background: Neonatal mortality rate contributes significantly to under five mortality rates. Data obtained from pattern of admission and outcome may uncover various aspects and may contribute and help in managing resources, infrastructure, skilled hands for better outcome in future.Methods: This retrospective study was done on 1424 neonates who were admitted at LN Medical College and JK Hospital, Bhopal in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the Department of Paediatrics from January 2013-December 2017.Results: 1424 newborns admitted within 24 hours of birth were included in the study. About 767 were male neonates, (Male: female1.16:1). The low birth weight babies were 54% in our study. Among the various causes of NICU admission, Respiratory distress was present in 555 (39%) of neonates, Respiratory distress syndrome (Hyaline membrane disease) being the most common cause of respiratory distress. Neonatal sepsis accounted for morbidity in 24% of neonates, with Klebsiella being the most common organism grown in the blood culture. The incidence of congenital anomalies was 2.5%. The neonatal mortality was found to be 11% in our study. Prematurity with Respiratory distress syndrome (Hyaline membrane disease) and perinatal asphyxia were the two most common causes of neonatal mortality in the study. Extremely low birth weight neonates had the highest case fatality rate in the study, which indicates the need to develop an efficient group of professionals in teaching hospitals who will provide highly specialized and focused care to this cohort of vulnerable neonates.Conclusions: Present study has shown respiratory distress, perinatal asphyxia, and sepsis as the predominant causes of neonatal morbidity. All three are preventable causes, and our health-care programs should be directed toward addressing the risk factors in the community responsible for the development of these three morbidities. The preterm and low birth weight babies had significantly high mortality even with standard intensive care; therefore, a strong and effective antenatal program with extensive coverage of all pregnant females specifically in outreach areas should be developed which will help in decreasing preterm deliveries and also lower the incidence of low birth weight babies.

. . .cerebral palsy rates in infants with birth weights under 1500 g increased from 12.1 to 64.9 [per 1000 births]. These results, which are similar to those found in other developed countries, suggest that improved perinatal care, including increased use of interventions to prevent perinatal asphyxia, has improved neonatal survival but not the rate of cerebral palsy. In low-birth-weight infants the rising cerebral palsy rate has paralleled the improvement in survival; one explanation for this finding is that low birth weight and cerebral palsy both result from an insult that occurs well before birth.

Background: Anaemia is commonest medical disorder in pregnancy with 88% prevalence in India mainly due to ignorance, poverty and gender bias. 40-60% of maternal deaths in developing countries. According to the recent standard laid down by WHO anemia is present when the hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in the peripheral blood is less than 11 gm/dl. The most common cause of anemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency. Anemia is diagnosed by estimating the hemoglobin concentration and examining a peripheral blood smear for the characteristic red blood cell changes. The aim of the study was to determine the association between severe anemia, maternal and perinatal complications.Methods: Case control study was done in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences Ranchi, India from February 2016 to July 2016. 100 pregnant women, admitted for delivery and having severe anemia were studied and compared with 100 non-anaemic women of similar demographic features. Maternal and perinatal complications were observed. Pearson, chi-square and Fischer exact tests were used to calculate significance of results.Results: Of the severely anaemic mothers, 36% babies were low birth weight (p=0.042) and 20% were small for gestational age (p = 0.026), as compared to 18% and 10% of controls, respectively.Conclusions: Severe maternal anemia carries significant risk of hemorrhage and infection in the mother. It is also associated with preterm birth, low birth weight.

Introduction: Neonatal services at Tribhuvan University Teaching hospital (TUTH) was essentially up to level II till year 2008 and upgraded to level III care in later years. A 4 years retrospective study was carried out at TUTH, Kathmandu, Nepal to determine any change in the trend of neonatal mortality after the improvement in its services. Materials and Methods: Labor room record book, neonatal record book, perinatal audit data and neonatal record charts were used to collect the data. Results: During the study period, there were total of 15063 live births. The neonatal mortality ranges from 9.46 to 14.88 per 1000 live births per year. There was no significant fall in trend of neonatal mortality (x2 for linear trend=1.40, p=0.23). There was also no significant fall in trend in perinatal mortality rates over this period (x2 for linear trend=1.92, p=0.16).The number of neonates referred to other hospitals has been significantly reduced by 61%.(x2 for linear trend=33.18, p<0.001). Majority of the neonatal deaths (72%) occurred within first 7 days of life and more than a third (39%) died within the first 24 hours of life. Respiratory distress syndrome, perinatal asphyxia and neonatal sepsis were three major causes of death. Deaths due to respiratory distress and perinatal asphyxia has not changed significantly over the years (p=0.4 and 0.25 respectively). Incidence of low birth weight ranges from 10.8 – 16.1% of total live births. 63% of neonatal mortality occurred in low birth weight babies. This trend has not changed in over the years (x2=1.03, p=0.31). Conclusion: With the improvement in the services, though neonatal mortality remained unchanged, referral rates and mortality due to respiratory distress syndrome of prematurity has decreased.
