“…This Retrospective observational study was conducted on 400 pregnant females who delivered after completed 28 weeks and before completed 37 weeks and presented to Obstetrics and Gynecological Department of Minia Maternity University Hospital. According table (1), more than half of cases (52.3%) were in the age group 18 -29 years, while 78 (19.5%) women between 30 and 34 years and 113 (28.2%) women were between 35 and 39 years, with the mean age ±SD was 27.16± 6.51 years. Regarding residence, 68.3% women were from rural areas while 31.8% women were from urban areas.…”

Background: Preterm labor is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for preterm infants; they will be at risk for developing numerous medical problems. Aim and objectives: to evaluate the incidence, possible risk factors and maternal & neonatal morbidity & mortality in cases of preterm labour. Subjects and methods: The study had been conducted at the obstetrics and gynecology department, Minia University Hospital during the period from November, 2021 to April, 2022. Result: Successful tocolysis was reported in 149 cases (37.3%). More than half women (52.8%) were delivered by C.S while vaginal delivery was done in 47.3% women. However, less than third of neonates (31.1%) needed incubation. The neonatal mortality rate was 1.2%. Conclusion: It is necessary to make better clinical decisions with accurate assessment of risk factors, complications, and realistic predictions related to PTB and ETB, which should ultimately provide a way forward for precision health and to help reduce the burden and the consequences associated with PTB and ETB.

Background: High-risk pregnancies are associated with adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes. Aim: To know the overall perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancies. Methods: Present observational study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology department of rural tertiary center of Northern India over eight months (February-October 2018) on 3 085 antenatal women at gestation ≥ 28 weeks with 1 309 high-risk cases and 1 776 normal pregnancy cases after Institutional ethical committee approval and informed written consent from the participants. The demographic features including age, gravidity, parity, gestation, high risk factors, onset of labor, mode of delivery of all the selected antenatal women at gestation ≥ 28 weeks was recorded on a preformed data sheet by a trained staff. All the participants were observed till delivery and perinatal outcome was recorded. Statistical analysis was done using software SPSS 22.0 version and a p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of total 1,309 high-risk pregnancies, 365(27.9%) were preterm, 936(71.5%) term and eight (0.6%) post-term cases. Of 1,309 neonates delivered, 66(5.04%) were intra-uterine dead fetuses, 1,243 live fetuses, of which nine (0.7%) had intrapartum still birth, 278(22.4%) required neonatal intensive care unit admission, 70(5.6%) intubated, 238(19.1%) needed oxygen support, 343(27.6%) developed complications, 11(0.9%) had early neonatal deaths. The average birth weight of neonates delivered to highrisk mothers was 2.47±0.571 Kg with 271(20.7%) neonates having low birth weight (<2.5 Kg). Of all high-risk factor Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, Antepartum hemorrhage, Anemia, Gestational diabetes mellitus, Intra-uterine growth restriction, oligohydramnios was significantly associated with adverse perinatal outcomes (p<0.05). High-risk pregnancy was associated with preterm births, low birth weight, NICU admission, intubation, complications, neonatal deaths, still births as compared to normal pregnancy. Most common neonatal complication was low birth weight (20.7%) followed by Respiratory distress syndrome (17.6%), prematurity (13.1%). Conclusion: High-risk pregnancy was associated with adverse overall perinatal outcome with increased risk of perinatal morbidities and mortalities
