“…Antepartum hemorrhage decreases the birth weight of a neonate by 0.23 kilogram. This finding agrees with finding from Pakistan [32]. This is due to the reason that bleeding during pregnancy decreases the transfer of the essential nutrient to the fetus [33].…”

Introduction This study was conducted to assess the effects of stillbirth and abortion on the health of the subsequent newborn. Methods A prospective cohort study was implemented. The data were collected from January 2015 to August 2019. The study participants were selected using the simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using interviewing the pregnant mothers, reviewing medical charts, analyzing the blood samples from the newborn, and scheduled medical checkups. General linear model was used to assess the effects of stillbirth and abortion on the health of the newborn, Poisson regression was used to identify predictors of childhood infectious diseases episodes and Kaplan Meier survival curve were used to estimate time to childhood pneumonia and diarrhea. Results 2872 infants were included giving for the response rate of 88.97%. Neonate born from mothers with a previous history of stillbirth or abortion had low birth weight, low serum iron, and zinc levels. High infection episodes of diarrhea and pneumonia were observed among infants born from a previous history of stillbirth and abortion mothers. The infection episodes during the childhood period were determined by serum zinc level [IRR 0.71; 95% CI: 0.61- 0.83], birth weight [IRR 0.86; 95% CI: 0.81 – 0.91], breastfeeding frequency [IRR 0.9; 95% CI: 0.87-0.93]. Conclusion The birth weight, serum iron and zinc levels of neonates born from the previous history of stillbirth and abortion were lower. The infection episodes of newborns born from mothers with previous history stillbirth or abortion were higher.

“…The perinatal mortality rate was 43.75% in our study. The overall frequency of low birth weight babies and stillbirth was 62.5% and 27.08% respectively [17]. In another study, IUD or still births were noted in 31% of the cases.…”

Objectives: To determine the perinatal outcome in patients of antepartum haemorrhage at tertiary care hospital. Study design: descriptive, case series. Settings: Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Liaquat National Hospital Karachi. Study duration: 3rd November 2018 to 2nd May 2019. Materials & Methods: Total 132 patients with antepartum haemorrhage of 15-45 years of age were selected. Congenital anomalies detected on ultrasonography were excluded. A detailed history including patient’s age, parity, gestational age, and presenting complaints was taken. A general examination with recording of vital signs was performed followed by systemic examination. All parameters of maternal and fetal well-being were recorded. All cases with antepartum haemorrhage were evaluated and perinatal outcome of patients with antepartum haemorrhage was recorded including low birth weight, still birth and neonatal death. Results: Age range in this study was from 15 to 45 years with mean age of 28.94 ± 4.23 years. Majority of the patients 79 (59.85%) were between 15 to 30 years of age. Mean gestational age was 33.20 ± 3.92 weeks. Mean parity was 3.13 ± 0.89. Mean amount of bleeding per vagina was 845.33 ± 67.22 ml. In this study, frequency of perinatal outcome in patients of antepartum haemorrhage was as follows; low birth weight was found in 71 (53.79%), stillborn in 56 (42.42%) patients and neonatal death in 23 (17.42%) patients. Conclusion: This study concluded that a proper protocol should be designed in these high risk patients for antenatal monitoring and proper management plans in order to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the fetus. Keywords: Antepartum Haemorrhage, Low Birth Weight, Neonatal Death.

Background This study was conducted to assess the effects of stillbirth and abortion on the health of the subsequent newborns. Methods A prospective cohort study was implemented. The data were collected from January 2015 to August 2019. The study participants were selected using the simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using interviewing the pregnant mothers, reviewing medical charts, analyzing the blood samples from the newborn and scheduled medical checkups. The general linear model was used to assess the effects of stillbirth and abortion on the health of the newborn, Poisson regression was used to identify predictors of childhood infectious disease episodes and Kaplan–Meier survival curves were used to estimate time to childhood pneumonia and diarrhea. Results Two thousand, eight hundred and seventy-two infants were included giving a response rate of 88.97%. Neonates born from mothers with a previous history of stillbirth or abortion had low birth-weight, low serum iron and zinc levels. High infection episodes of diarrhea and pneumonia were observed among infants born from a previous history of stillbirth and abortion mothers. The infection episodes during the childhood period were determined by serum zinc level [incident rate ratio (IRR): 0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.61–0.83], birth-weight (IRR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.81–0.91) and breastfeeding frequency (IRR: 0.9; 95% CI: 0.87–0.93). Conclusion The birth-weight, serum iron and zinc levels of neonates born from the previous history of stillbirth and abortion were lower. The infection episodes of newborns born from mothers with a previous history of stillbirth or abortion were higher.
