Cross Matching

Background: One of the main factors affecting maternal morbidity and mortality is the decision to delivery interval (DDI) that is, the time taken from the decision to take the patient up for caesarean section to the delivery of the fetus. Method: This is a retrospective observational study conducted over a period of twelve months where 370 patients were studied. Results: No delay was seen in 49.2% cases whereas most delay was noted after decision by obstetricians to transfer patient to OT (22.2%). Conclusion: In order to get favourable maternal and fetal outcome decision to delivery interval should be within 30 minutes and this can be made possible if factors like results of blood investigations and cross matching of blood can be made available on time.

Prevalence Of Depression

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are at high risk of depressive disorders because of considerable psychological stress due to physical and social changes brought on by disease. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of depression in patients with CKD and the factors affecting it at a public tertiary care hospital. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at the renal clinic of a tertiary care hospital. Data on 629 patients diagnosed with CKD from September 2014 to April 2016 was obtained. Nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire from PRIME-MD was used to assess the depression. Results: Of all the patients, 44.7% had depression. Mild depression was found to affect 28.9% of the patients followed by moderate depression and severe depression (15.4% and 0.4%, respectively). According to multiple logistic regression, the occurrence of depression was significantly higher with age below 60 years [odds ratio (OR) 1.5, 0.9–2.7; P<0.05], male gender (OR 1.4, 1.0–3.1; P<0.05), no treatment funding (OR 2.7, 1.3–4.6; P<0.05), education less than grade 12 (OR 1.3, 1.3–3.2; P<0.05), monthly income ≤INR 20,000 (OR 1.6, 1.1–3.6; P<0.05), CKD stage V (OR 1.4 1.0– 2.9; P <0.05), Patients on hemodialysis (HD) (OR 2.5, 1.2–4.5; P<0.05), comorbidities ≥3 (OR 1.6, 1.3–3.0; P<0.05), overweight (OR 2.4, 1.3–2.9; P<0.05), and duration of CKD >2 (OR 2.4, 1.4–4.4; P<0.05). Conclusion: About 44.7% of the patients were found to have depression. Patients’ age, gender, body mass index, treatment funding, education status, income, CKD duration and stage, HD status, and comorbidities were found to be significant factors affecting depression.

Structured Questionnaire

Background: Cesarean section is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world. Several studies have demonstrated that c/s poses a greater risk of maternal morbidity and mortality compared to vaginal delivery. Therefore, it is important to assess the morbidities associated with a c/s. Methods: A hospital based, cross sectional study was conducted among 240 women during the period of March-May 2014. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to evaluate the socio-demographic characteristics, obstetrical characteristics, indications and complications following c/s. Results: A total of 150 (62.5%) respondents underwent emergency c/s whereas 90 (37.5%) were having elective c/s. The most common indication for cesarean delivery was a previous c/s observed in 70 (29.2%). No postpartum morbidity was observed in 152 (63.3%) of the respondents, whereas 88 (36.7%) had reported some or other kinds of morbidities. Among the various maternal morbidities, postpartum anemia was the most commonly observed morbidity in 22 (9.2%) of the respondents, followed by postpartum hemorrhage by 10 (4.2%) and wound infection was observed in 15 (6.25%). Conclusions: High maternal morbidity following c/s was observed in studied sample as more than one third of the women had shown some or other kinds of morbidities. Efforts should be made to evaluate the reasons for increasing c/s rate and to reduce the incidence of c/s by careful antenatal and intranatal management.
