Observational Descriptive Study

Introduction. Chronic energy deficieny (CED) is a condition of a body characterized by low body weight and low energy stores, possibly limited physical capacity due to deprivation of food over a long period time. Ministry of Health ( Kemenkes) showed that in 2015, 305 out of 100.000 death of pregnant women is realated to malnutriotion and CED. Objective. The aim of this study is to determine the overview of pregnant women nutritional status based on mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) in Sundari Medan General Hospital. Method. The study was an observational descriptive study with a cross sectional design. The samples of this study consists of pregnant women from Sundari Medan Genaral Hospital, who had fulilled the inclusion and esclusion criteria by total sampling. Results.. Among 60 samples, the prevalance of Non-CED woman (85%) was found higher than the mild malnutrition (15%). Conclusion. Prevalance of CED pregnant women was found higher in risky age, middle educated and high income family.

Length Changes

Objective: This study aimed to determine differences in cervical length changes between administration of nifedipine and isoxsuprine. Method: Subjects of the study were pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria (n=16). Treatments were given for 48 hours. Parameters measured was the cervical length before and after the administration of nifedipine and isoxsuprine. This study was conducted in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital from January until April 2020. Result: Less shortening of the cervical length after administration of tocolytic isoxsuprin for 48 hours compared with tocolytic nifedipine and statistically significant with p value of 0.0001 (p<0.05) using Paired T tests. Conclusion: Isoxsuprin is more effective to prevent shortening of the cervical length compared to nifedipine in cases of threatened preterm labor. Key word: Nifedipine, Isoxsuprine, cervical length, threatened preterm labor

Background: Disturbance of haematological parameters is prevalent in pregnancy globally leading to a range of feto-maternal complications. Covid-19 infection has potential to enhance the severity of and complications impending due to anaemia in pregnancy. Objective: To determine the effects of Covid-19 infection on haematological parameters during antenatal care among pregnant women in rural Sindh. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Shaikh Zaid Institute, Chandka Medical College, Larkana. Duration: From March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2021. Materials and Method: A sample of 110 pregnant women, of 18-50 years of age, presenting in first through third trimester with single alive pregnancy, were included in the study after taking a valid written consent. The Research Evaluation Committee of SMBBMU- Larkana granted approval. Women having any haemoglobinopathy were excluded. Covid-19 test conducted through rt-PCR method. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data of two groups. Analysis was performed through SPSS Version-23. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated. Results: Mean ± SD age was 30.3 ± 6.99 (Range: 19 to 45) years. Both groups were identical in age. Mean ± SD gestational age was 28.12 ± 4.66 weeks (Range: 20-38). Covid-19 positive women had lower mean Hb (9.7 ± 2.11) than the covid-19 negative (10.54 ± 2.51; P = 0.158). Other haematological parameters like MCV, serum ferritin, TIBC, TLC & platelets were statistically different between groups. Women of eldest group i-e; in 41-50 years, from urban areas, second trimester (gest. age 13-24 weeks), and nulliparous had been affected more from covid-19 (P = 0.271, 0.748, 0.290 & 0.053). Frequency and severity of anaemia was more among Covid-19 positive women. Conclusion: Covid‐19 demands maternal healthcare to be extra vigilant to the haematological parameters of pregnant women during antenatal care till delivery. Keywords: Antenatal care, pregnancy, anaemia, haemoglobin, Covid‐19.

Drugs given to pregnant mothers for therapeutic purposes may cause serious structural and functional adverse effects in the developing child. However, the fact that drugs are needed to mitigate complications during pregnancy cannot be totally avoided. Hence, the current study is aimed to evaluate the pattern of medication prescribing practice during pregnancy at Hidar 11 General Hospital, Ethiopia. Institution based cross sectional study was conducted on 310 pregnant women whose medical charts were selected using systematic random sampling from antenatal care (ANC) attendants at Hidar 11 General Hospital. Data was collected through medical chart review by using data abstraction tool and analyzed by statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) Version 24 software. Among the study participants, 263 (84.8%) had a prescription at least for one drug during their pregnancy. Majority of the drugs prescribed for the pregnant women were vitamins and minerals (60.6%), antibacterial agents (30.6%) and central nervous system drugs (28.4%). A high proportion of drugs were prescribed from US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) category C (57.7%) followed by category B (50.6%) and category A (22.9%). Only 6.8% of the prescribed drugs were with positive evidence of risk (US FDA category D) during all trimesters and no drugs were prescribed from proven fetal risk category (US FDA X category). Even though, drugs from category X were not prescribed, a significant number of pregnant women consumed drugs with potential fetal risk that should be addressed by informing the prescribers to stick to the treatment guidelines and seek safer options.
