Aims&objectives:- To study prevalence of pre-eclampsia, co-relation of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia with maternal characteristics,feto-maternal outcome,seasonal variation and sex of the fetus, if any. Materials&Methoods- It was prospective observational study, carried out in obstetrics and gynecology department, MMIMSR, Mullana, Ambala, a tertiary care rural hospital in North India, from 1st June,2020 to 31st December,2020. Maternal characteristics, risk factors, sex of fetus, adverse maternal and fetal outcomes were recorded and data analyzed. Retrospective analysis of patients with severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, for a period of 3 years from January,2018 to December,2020 was done to see seasonal variation. Results:- A total of 1275 births were recorded from 1st June,2020 to 31st Dec,2020. 114 women were diagnosed with Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy with a prevalence of 8.94%. An increased incidence(75%) of severe pre-eclampsia/eclampsia in unbooked patients was seen. 87.5% patients were less than 30 years. 55% patients were primigravida. Severe preeclampsia-eclampsia was more in rural population(80%) with low literacy level(45%) and low socio-economic status(70%). Signicantly increased incidence(72.5%) of pre-eclampsia in women with dark complexion. 52.5% cases were seen in BMI range of 30.0-34.9. 42.5% patients presented before 34 weeks, 47.5% beyond 34 weeks and 10% within 48 hours post-partum. Singleton pregnancy was seen in 92.5% cases. Anemia was contributing factor in 42.5% and. 12.5% had APS. Caesarean rate was very high. Increased risk of severe pre-eclampsia has been observed while carrying a male fetus(67.5%). Patients with severe pre-eclampsia had increased risk of eclampsia(27.5%) and placental abruption(17.5%). FGR seen in 20%, with oligohydramnios in 15% cases. ICU admission with ventilator support needed by 10% while 5% had maternal deaths. Fetal complications, like pre-maturity seen in 50%, NICU admission required in 57.5% and intra-uterine death in 27.5%. Peak incidence recorded in summers(June-July). Conclusion-Unbooked/referred-in pregnancy, illiteracy, low socio-economic status, undiagnosed maternal risk factors, anemia pose a challenge for early diagnosis and management of severe pre-eclampsia&eclampsia. Severe disease is usually early onset, more in dark complexion with male fetus in-utero with peak incidence in summer. Regular antenatal check-up with diagnosis of high-risk factors in rst trimester, to implement preventive measures should be universal guideline.
Aim:- Correlation between various doppler indices of feto-maternal vessels with respect to sensitivity, specicity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive value. 2)To evaluate the efcacy of doppler study of feto-maternal vessels (uterine, umbilical and middle cerebral arteries) in predicting perinatal outcome in FGR cases. This observational study was conducted in 50 antenatal patients diagnosed with FGRMaterials & Methods:- who fullled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After the clinical diagnosis of FGR, doppler studies of umbilical, uterine and middle cerebral artery were done. Sensitivity, specicity, accuracy, PPV, NPV of various doppler parameters were compared. Results were compiled and statistically analyzed. In our study, MCA doppler indices proved to be better predictor of FGR. The diagnostic accuracy of MCA PI inResults:- predicting FGR was found to be highest (68%) followed by MCA RI (62%) and MCA S/D (54%). Absent/reversed umbilical EDF had 100% specicity and 100% PPV in diagnosing FGR. Increased uterine S/D ratio and persistence of diastolic notch in late pregnancy suggested high sensitivity and a high degree of PPV for predicting FGR. Association of abnormal umbilical S/D, umbilical PI, AEDF/REDF and uterine notching with the adverse perinatal outcome has been proven statistically signicant. Majority of the cases had term delivery. 58% cases underwent caesarean. 54% of the neonates had the adverse perinatal outcome. RDS was the most common neonatal complication and two cases of neonatal mortality were observed. The present study concludes MCA doppler indices proved to be better predictor of FGR. Also, abnormalConclusion:- doppler indices directly correlate with poor neonatal outcome especially in cases of abnormal MCA study, uterine notching and absent or reversed umbilical end-diastolic ow in which early intervention is advised.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
