Pregnancy is a crucial event in life that requires considerable physiological & psychological adjustment by the mother; by accepting which she starts an incredible journey of life. Rather the pregnancy loss is a frustrating & challenging problem for the couple as well as for obstetrician. It is associated with guilt, embarrassment and depressive states especially in cases where patient conceives with added concerns of primary or secondary infertility due to various causes. Such patient presents with bad obstetric history, this needs detailed consultation & proper line of treatment. In Ayurveda Putraghni Yonivyapad is described where repeated abortions or the early neonatal deaths are explained which are due to Artava Dosha, Rakta Dosha, Raktastrava and Raktakshaya. When we came across with descriptions given by different Acharyas we come to know that these all points came under the Bad Obstetric History described in modern science. As we all know that Ayurveda is a Science of life the management of Sadhya Vyadhi is explained in it, by following line of treatment through Ayurveda we can minimize the adverse outcome in BOH.

Multiple pregnancy is associated with a high rate of perinatal loss – mainly due to preterm labour but with important contributions from fetal malformation, intrauterine growth retardation and twin-twin transfusion syndrome. The overall perinatal mortality rate is consistently around six times that of singleton pregnancies but the rate rises progressively with the number of fetuses. Rates of 63,164,200,214 and 416 per 1000 births have been recently reported for twins, triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets and sextuplets respectively. In addition to these alarming figures, it should be emphasized that the restricted concept of perinatal mortality obscures the real extent of loss. If we include late abortion (after 20 weeks), late neonatal deaths and deaths in infancy from perinatal causes, as well as the usual indices of perinatal mortality (stillbirths and early neonatal deaths) we find that the total loss rate from twin pregnancy alone doubles and may be close to 10%. Although the rate of loss from multiple pregnancies is now substantially higher than that associated with the pregnancies of diabetic women, the challenge of multiple pregnancy has not been met with the same commitment or organisation of specialized perinatal services as has diabetes.

SummaryThe incidence and spectrum of extracardiac malformations in congenital asplenia syndrome were determined by review of43 cases (40 live-births) identified in the province of British Columbia over a 21 year period. Major extracardiac anomalies (excluding those of abnormal arrangement of the organs) were identified in nine cases (21%), and minor anomalies were present in an additional twelve infants (28%). Extracardiac anomalies were associated with one spontaneous stillbirth, one termination of pregnancy, and two early neonatal deaths. In an additional four newborns, they contributed to a decision not to palliate the complex cardiac anomalies. Gastrointestinal malformations led to neonatal intestinal obstruction in four infants. Of the 14 surviving children, one is severely handicapped due to a congenital anomaly of the central nervous system. The clinical significance of extracardiac malformations and their developmental implications are discussed.

ObjectivesTo investigate if the implementation of the 2016 WHO Recommendations for a Positive Pregnancy Experience reduced perinatal mortality in a South African province. The recommendations were implemented which included increasing the number of contacts and also the content of the contacts.MethodsRetrospective interrupted time-series analysis was conducted for all women accessing a minimum of one antenatal care contact from April 2014 to September 2019 in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. Retrospective interrupted time-series analysis of province level perinatal mortality and birth data comparing the pre-implementation period (April 2014–March 2017) and post-implementation period (April 2018–September 2019). The main outcome measure was unadjusted prevalence ratio (PR) for perinatal deaths before and after implementation; interrupted time-series analyses for trends in perinatal mortality before and after implementation; stillbirth risk by gestational age; primary cause of deaths (and maternal condition) before and after implementation.ResultsOverall, there was a 5.8% absolute decrease in stillbirths after implementation of the recommendations, however this was not statistically significant (PR 0.95, 95% CI 0.90% to 1.05%; p=0.073). Fresh stillbirths decreased by 16.6% (PR 0.86, 95% CI 0.77% to 0.95%; p=0.003) while macerated stillbirths (p=0.899) and early neonatal deaths remained unchanged (p=0.499). When stratified by weight fresh stillbirths >2500 g decreased by 17.2% (PR 0.81, 95% CI 0.70% to 0.94%; p=0.007) and early neonatal deaths decreased by 12.8% (PR 0.88, 95% CI 0.77% to 0.99%; p=0.041). The interrupted time-series analysis confirmed a trend for decreasing stillbirths at 0.09/1000 births per month (−0.09, 95% CI −1.18 to 0.01; p=0.059), early neonatal deaths (−0.09, 95% CI −0.14 to 0.04; p=<0.001) and perinatal mortality (−1.18, 95% CI −0.27 to −0.09; p<0.001) in the post-implementation period. A decrease in stillbirths, early neonatal deaths or perinatal mortality was not observed in the pre-implementation period. During the period when additional antenatal care contacts were implemented (34–38 weeks), there was a decrease in stillbirths of 18.4% (risk ratio (RR) 0.82, 95% CI 0.73% to 0.91%, p=0.0003). In hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, the risk of stillbirth decreased in the post-period by 15.1% (RR 0.85; 95% CI 0.76% to 0.94%; p=0.002).ConclusionThe implementation of the 2016 WHO Recommendations for a Positive Pregnancy Experience may be an effective public health strategy to reduce stillbirths in South African provinces.

Abstract: Perinatal death is a big problem especially in a developing country. Some of the hospitals in Indonesia have declared that the number of perinatal death in developing countries is higher than in  developed countries. The purpose of this research is to determine the incidence of the factors that affecting perinatal mortality at Prof. DR. R. D. Kandou General Hospital Manado. This research used retrospective descriptive method through medical records of perinatal deaths patients. There were 164 cases of perinatal deaths found where 109 cases still births and 55 cases were early neonatal deaths in 2011, so the number of perinatal mortality rate was 40.17 per mil. The highest number of perinatal death was from multigravide mother, mother with age  ≥ 35 years old, spontaneous parturition. There were unknown caused of still births cases (77,06%) and sepsis in early neonatal deaths. The normal birth weight is also with most include of perinatal deaths. Keywords: still birth, early neonatal death, perinatal deaths, perinatal mortality rate.     Abstrak: Kematian perinatal merupakan masalah besar khususnya di negara sedang berkembang. Beberapa rumah sakit pendidikan di Indonesia melaporkan angka kematian perinatal yang tinggi dibandingkan dengan laporan angka kematian perinatal di negara – negara maju yang jumlahnya rendah. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui angka kejadian kematian perinatal serta faktor – faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif retrospektif dengan menggunakan data catatan medik pasien. Hasil penelitian yaitu jumlah kematian perinatal pada tahun 2011 sebanyak 164 kasus dengan 109 kasus lahir mati dan 55 kasus kematian neonatal dini sehingga angka kematian perinatal pada tahun 2011 yaitu 40.17 per mil. Kematian perinatal paling banyak pada ibu multigravida, ibu dengan kelompok usia ≥ 35 tahun, menggunakan jenis persalinan spontan. Pada lahir mati 77.06 % penyebab kematiannya tidak diketahui sedangkan sepsis paling banyak menyebabkan kematian neonatal dini. Berat badan lahir normal juga menjadi salah satu faktor terjadinya kematian perinatal. Kata kunci: lahir mati, kematian neonatal dini, kematian perinatal, angka kematian perinatal.
