“…The majority of studies concerning the success or failure rate of TOLAC are from the developed world (Guise et al 2005). The set standards of practice that have resulted from these studies might not be applicable in the developing world where electronic fetal monitoring or 1:1 doctor/nurse patient ratio may not be available for women undergoing TOLAC.…”

A prospective observational study was conducted at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Smt. Sucheta Kriplani Hospital, India on 300 pregnant women with one previous caesarean section fulfilling the eligibility criteria for trial of labour, to study the predictive factors and the outcome of trial of labour. The data obtained were analysed according to mode and outcome of labour and was then subjected to statistical analysis. The success rate of trial of labour was found to be 53.6%. Favourable Bishop's score (p = 0.000), spontaneous onset of labour (p = 0.005) and history of previous delivery after caesarean (p = 0.007) were significantly associated with a successful outcome of trial of labour. Higher chances of vaginal delivery were found with breech as an indication of previous caesarean section, i.e. 67.1% as compared to 39% with non-progress of labour as an indication.

“…These have been increasing in many countries and have reached 26% in the United States; 21.3% in England; 23.9% in Northern Ireland and 19% in Canada. 12 In South America, one ecological study has shown that, in 12 countries that together represent 81% of deliveries in the region, the levels of cesarean delivery are much above the 15% recommended by the World Health Organization. In Brazil, over 35% of deliveries are by cesarean.…”

OBJECTIVE:To study factors related to preference for cesarean delivery, among pregnant women without medical complications. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was carried out among 156 pregnant women, in a private clinic in the city of Osasco, State of São Paulo, from October 2000 to December 2001. The pregnant women were at 28 weeks of pregnancy or more, with no formal contraindication for vaginal delivery at the time of the interview. Sociodemographic data and past and present obstetric history were assessed by applying a questionnaire. The pregnant women were specifically asked what their current preference for delivery was. Pearson's Chi-square test and logistic regression for multivariate analysis were performed with a 5% significance level. RESULTS:Sixty-seven pregnant women (42.9%) said they had little motivation to undergo vaginal delivery. In the multivariate analysis, the following variables were statistically significant: previous vaginal birth (p=0.001; ORadj=0.04; 95% CI=0.01-0.12); husband's monthly income greater than 750 reais (p=0.006, ORadj=3.44; 95% CI=1.38-8.33). The women with a previous vaginal delivery presented 25-fold lower chance of choosing cesarean delivery. The opinion that the previous delivery experience was unsatisfactory was marginally associated with the main outcome (p=0.06; ORadj=0.42; 95% CI=0.16-1.05). CONCLUSIONS:Motivation for cesarean delivery is associated with influences such as the type and degree of satisfaction with previous delivery and income.

“…2 CS rates vary worldwide with rates ranging from 21.5%1 in Britain to 29.1%2 in USA with some Latin American countries going as high as 40%. 3 Similar trends have also been documented in India, according to ICMR study conducted in 30 teaching hospitals in India; there is an increase in CS rates from 21.8% in 1993-1994 to 25.4% in 1998-1999. 4 according to WHO, though there is no ideal CS rate, CS rates above 10-15% does not confer additional health benefits in terms of foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality.…”

Background: Hypothyroidism is a causal agent sub serving a multitude of complications in pregnancy. There is a lot of controversy regarding universal screening for thyroid abnormalities during pregnancy. An attempt was made to ascertain the incidence of hypothyroidism during pregnancy in a peripheral hospital.Methods: All patients reporting to ANC OPD were subjected to thyroid profile and results tabulated as per ATA guidelines 2017. Patients with clinical hypothyroidism were followed up with treatment to look for condition related complications if any. Complications despite treatment were noted and included only after ruling out masquerading mimickers or co existent conditions.Results: An incidence of 14.46% per two years was detected with hypothyroidism.Conclusions: The need for universal screening for hypothyroidism is inescapable particularly in hilly terrain.
