Prospective Case Control Study

Background: Placenta plays a very important role in the growth and development of fetus. Objective: To know the correlation between placental weight and perinatal outcome in term antenatal women. Methods: Present prospective case-control study was conducted in the rural tertiary center of Northern India over one year (January-December 2018) on 1,118 term (≥37-≤42 weeks) antenatal women with singleton pregnancy fulfilling inclusion criteria with 559 women with high-risk pregnancy as cases and 559 low-risk pregnant women as controls. Placental weight, birth weight was measured immediately after delivery and compared between the two groups along with gestation, parity, fetal gender, and neonatal outcome. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 22 version. Results: Mean placental weight [481.98±67.83 gm vs. 499.47±59.59 gm (p=.000)] and birth weight [2.68±0.53 Kg vs. 2.88±0.4 Kg (p=.000)] was significantly lower in high risk as compared to lowrisk participants, whereas placental birth weight ratio was higher in high-risk cases [18.35±2.37 vs. 17.41±1.38 (p=.000)] respectively. Placental weight was positively correlated with birth weight and placental weight and birth weight increased with increasing gestation in both cases and controls. Male neonates had higher placental weight [492.74±68.24 gm vs. 488±58.8 gm (p=0.224)] and birth weight [2.81±0.5 Kg vs. 2.74±0.45 Kg (p=0.033)] as compared to females. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit admission was significantly associated with low placental and birth weight (p=.000). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between placental weight, birth weight and neonatal outcome, hence placental weight can be used as an indirect indicator of intrauterine fetal growth.

Our objective is to report one rare case of dual gender chimerism involving abnormal male trisomy 18 and normal female karyotype. The baby was born full term with birth weight of 1.8 kg, not vigorous with light meconium stained liquor and Apgar score of 51, 85 and 910. Parents are 40 years old and mother is G6P5 + 1. The baby had clinical features of Edwards syndrome, and a blood sample was sent to Human Genome Centre, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia for cytogenetic analysis. Conventional cytogenetic analysis results showed two distinct sex discordant genetic cell lines XY and XX in 90:10 ratio. The male genetic cell line XY also showed trisomy 18 (47,XY, + 18) consistent with clinical diagnosis of male Edwards syndrome, whereas the second genetic cell line showed normal 46,XX female. The present case was reported as dual gender chimera with chi 47,XY, + 18/46,XX karyotype pattern. To the best of available knowledge, dual gender chimerism with abnormal male trisomy 18 and normal female karyotype has not been reported so far, and this case is reported for its rarity and as the first report.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the perinatal outcome of the second twin compared to the first one. Methods: This is a hospital based comparative study of 60 pregnant women with twin pregnancy at Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Kathmandu from 14 January 2013 to13 April 2013. Apgar score and admission to neonatal intensive care unit of the first and the second twins were studied in relation to the gestational age, chorionicity, mode of delivery, inter-delivery interval and birth weight. Mc Nemars test was used with 0.05 as the level of significance. Results: Among 60 sets of twins, Apgar score of the second twin was found to be lower than the first one (p=0.02) in general and in preterm gestation (p=0.049), dichorionic diamniotic chorionicity (p=0.012), vaginal delivery (p<0.001), inter-delivery interval of <30 minutes (p=0.007) and birth weight discordance of <30 % (p=0.014). Admission to neonatal intensive care unit was not significant (p=0.5). Conclusions: Second twin had low Apgar score and the neonatal admission rate was similar for both twins.

Increased Risk

Background: Limited evidence is available on the safety and efficacy of antimicrobials during pregnancy, with even less according to the trimester of their use. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between exposure to antibiotics therapy (AT) during pregnancy and short-term neonatal outcomes. Methods: We considered 773,237 deliveries that occurred between 2007–2017 in the Lombardy region of Italy. We evaluated the risk of neonatal outcomes among infants that were born to mothers who underwent AT during pregnancy. The odds ratios and the hazard ratios, with the 95% confidence intervals, were estimated respectively for early (first/second trimester) and late (third trimester) exposure. The propensity score was used to account for potential confounders. We also performed subgroup analysis for the class of AT. Results: We identified 132,024 and 76,921 singletons that were exposed to AT during early and late pregnancy, respectively. Infants born to mothers with early exposure had 17, 11, and 16% increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and low Apgar score, respectively. Infants that were exposed in late pregnancy had 25, 11, and 13% increased risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and low Apgar score, respectively. The results were consistent in the subgroup analysis. Conclusion: Our results suggested an increased risk of several neonatal outcomes in women exposed to ATs during pregnancy, albeit we were not able to assess to what extent the observed effects were due to the infection itself. To reduce the risk of neonatal outcomes, women that are prescribed AT during pregnancy should be closely monitored.

Objective: To report a rare case of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome with polyhydramnios. Methods: Reporting a case of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome with polyhydramnios. Results: Case of Mrs. Y, 27 years old woman, G2P1A0L1 preterm pregnancy (30-31 weeks) with polyhidramnios. From ultrasound found renomegaly, bilateral hyperechogenic polycystic kidney, and the karyotype result was 46,XX. Caesarean section was performed due to fetal distress.
