BackgroundOligohydramnios is a pregnancy condition characterized by low volume of amniotic fluid. Based on ultrasound measurement, it is defined as a single maximum vertical pocket of liquor less than 2 cm or summation of four quadrants vertical pockets of liquor measurement less than 5 cm. It is associated with multiple adverse perinatal outcomes (APO) and complicates 0.5%–5% of pregnancies.ObjectiveTo assess magnitude and associated factors of adverse perinatal outcome among women with oligohydramnios at 3rd trimester at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North West EthiopiaMethodsInstitution based cross-sectional study was employed from April 1 to September 30, 2021 in which 264 participants were involved. All women with oligohydramnios at 3rd trimester who meet the inclusion criteria were included. Semi- structured questionnaire was used for data collection after Pre-tested. Collected data was checked for completeness; clarity then coded and entered using Epi data version 4.6.0.2 then exported to STATA version 14.1 for analysis.ResultThe magnitude of APO was 46.6% (95%CI: 40.5–52.7%). Null parity [AOR = 2.2, 95%CI (1.2–4.2)], presence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) [AOR = 4.9, 95%CI (2.0–12.1)] and presence of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) [AOR = 8.4, 95%CI (3.5–20.2)] were found to be predictors of APO.ConclusionThird trimester oligohydramnios is associated with APO. The presence of HDP, IUGR and being nulliparous were predictors of APO.
Introduction Genitourinary tract trauma caused by ox horn injury in the presence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is an extremely rare phenomenon and associated with devastating morbidity. Case presentation A 50-year-old multiparous postmenopausal woman from rural northwest Ethiopia presented with the primary complaint of urinary incontinence 6 days after she suffered ox horn injury to her prolapsed genitalia. She had stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse with the leading point being the cervix. The anterior vaginal and posterior bladder walls were disrupted with visible draining of the left ureter. The wound was dirty and edematous with whitish discharge. She was admitted to the urogynecology ward and provided with wound care until the infection subsided. Apical prolapse suspension was performed using right sacrospinous fixation, and bladder repair was carried out 6 weeks following the prolapse suspension. She recovered well and was continent when discharged. Conclusion Ox horn injury involving the female lower urogenital tract in the presence of POP is extremely rare. Late presentation after sustaining injury is associated with increased risk of morbidity and long hospital stay, and treatment requires multistage surgery.
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.
