Background Induction of labor is an artificial initiation of uterine contractions after fetal viability with the aim of vaginal delivery prior to the onset of spontaneous labor. Prevalence of induction of labor is increasing worldwide with subsequent increase in failure rate. However, there is limited evidence on labor induction in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the prevalence and associated factors of failed induction of labor among women undergoing induction of labor at referral hospitals of Amhara national regional state, Ethiopia, 2016. Method A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted at referral hospitals found in Amhara national regional state from February 01 to September 30, 2016. Multistage sampling technique was employed to select a total of 484 women who underwent labor induction. Pre-tested structured questionnaires and checklists were used to collect the data. Data were entered into EPI info version 7 and analyzed using SPSS version 20 software. Stepwise Binary Logistic regression model was fitted to identify factors associated with failed induction of labor. The level of significance was determined based on the adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence interval at the p-value of ≤0.05. Result The prevalence of failed induction of labor among women undergoing induction of labor was 31.4% (95% CI: 27.0, 36.0). Failed induction of labor was independently predicted by a Bishop score of ≤5 (AOR = 2.1; 95% CI: 1.3, 3.6), prolonged latent first stage of labor (AOR = 2.0; 95% CI: 1.2, 3.5), induction with oxytocin alone (AOR = 4.2; 95% CI: 2.2, 8.1), nulliparity (ARO = 1.9; 95% CI: 1.2, 2.9), post term pregnancy (AOR = 4.1; 95% CI: 1.8, 9.3) and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (AOR = 2.4; 95% CI: 1.5, 5.1). Conclusion Failed induction of labor was high in the study area compared to the reports of previous studies done in Ethiopia. The majority of the determinants of failed induction of labor were connected with unjustifiable and inconsistent indication of induction of labor. Thus, preparing standardized practical guidelines and preventing unjustifiable case selection may help reduce the current high failure rates.

“…BOH implied previous unfavorable fetal outcomes, such as 3 or more successive spontaneous abortions, early neonatal deaths, stillbirths, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and congenital anomalies in the previous pregnancies. 6 The results were analyzed using SPSS (version 22). Chi square test was applied as a test of significance and p value of < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.…”

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) accounts for almost 90% of all pregnancies complicated by diabetes. Its prevalence in the Indian population ranges from 5.5% to 11.5 %.Methods: The present study was undertaken to assess the incidence of GDM among antenatal mothers admitted in Goa Medical College for a period of 18 months and also to study the risk factors associated with GDM amongst such cases.Results: Present study revealed that among 7717 antenatal mothers who were admitted and delivered in our Hospital, 424 women were diagnosed with GDM. Of these women diagnosed with GDM, almost one third were in the age group of 31- 35 years (35.8%); 56.2 % of these women were multigravidas. Advancing maternal age, rising parity, obesity, family history of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and past history of GDM were among the risk factors found to be significantly associated with GDM.Conclusions: The incidence of GDM in present study population was 5.49%. Advancing maternal age, maternal obesity, family history of DM and past history of GDM were found to be important determinants of GDM.

“…However, it is the occurrence of three consecutive pregnancy losses that constitutes the classic definition of BOH. This condition is seen in 1-2% of couples [2] . RCOG Guidelines [3] defines recurrent miscarriage as the loss of three or more consecutive pregnancies, however, The Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine [4] defines recurrent pregnancy loss as two or more failed pregnancies.…”

Aims and Objectives:To look for Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome in patients with Bad Obstetric History and to assess the correlation between anticardiolipin antibodies and bad obstetric history. Materials and Methods: This study was an Observational type of Cross sectional study carried out on 130 patients with Bad Obstetric History in non-pregnant state in Gynecology OPD of tertiary care centre, SDMH, Jaipur for one year (1 st May 2015 to 30 th April 2016). The patients were tested for APLA screen after atleast 12 weeks from their last pregnancy/miscarriage and were reassessed after 12 weeks. Depending upon the results the prevalence of APLA positivity was calculated and especially Anticardiolipin antibody positivity was studied. The results categorized the study population into cases (those who tested positive for APLA) and comparison group (those who tested negative for APLA) which were further studied regarding their obstetric history. Results: The prevalence of Antiphospholipid Syndrome in patients with Bad Obstetric History was found to be 27.69% while the prevalence of Anticardiolipin antibodies was 18.46% and fetal loss at <10 weeks of gestation was found to be the most common type of pregnancy loss amongst BOH patients and patients with APS. (83.08% and 75% respectively). Conclusion:The prevalence of Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome in patients with Bad Obstetric History is about 27.69% and the prevalence of Anticardiolipin antibodies alone contributes about 18.46%. Hence, all women with recurrent miscarriages should be screened before pregnancy for antiphospholipid antibodies, where all the conventional causes of miscarriages have been ruled out.
