This method is useful for evaluating the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying changes in fetal heart rate. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of Doppler ultrasound findings during labor in high-risk women on determining the mode of delivery and outcome of the newborn. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 on 100 high-risk pregnant women during labor. The study was performed in the Maternity Teaching Hospital in Erbil City, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. Results: The majority of women (77%) had a normal end-diastolic blood flow pattern through the umbilical artery. A total of 76.9% of those with abnormal Doppler results had a Cesarean delivery compared with only 9.5% of those with normal Doppler results (p p p = 0.07) and fifth minutes (p = 0.01). Conclusions: Abnormal umbilical artery Doppler ultrasound findings in high-risk pregnancies for women in labor are associated with increased rates of emergency cesarean sections and a poor outcome of the newborn.展开更多

Method: A retrospective study analyzing data on births in the Volta Regional Hospital, Ghana from the period of November 2011 to June 2016. A total of 8279 births were analyzed. Results: Results suggest that teenage mothers (8.60%) are more likely to give birth to pre-term babies than the elderly (6.60%) and the adult mothers (4.61%). LBW is highest among the teenage mothers (12.69%) followed by the elderly mothers (7.87%) and then the least among the adult mothers (6.48%). Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) and Macrosomia births were more observed among the elderly mothers (0.90%;2.17%) than the teenage (0.28%;0.14%) and adult mothers (0.34%;1.61%) respectively. Data suggest that 100% of the ELBW were pre-term birth, 88.28% Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW), 34.56% LBW and only 1.06% of the pre-term birth were with Normal Birth Weight (NBW). Death rate ranges from 50% for ELBW, 33.59% for VLBW, 8.22% for LBW, 5.43% for Macrosomia and 1.5% for NBW. However, death rate distribution among the various age groups was statistically not significant (P 0.106). Conclusions: Our study suggests that early neonatal death, especially deaths among ELBW and VLBW is still high at the VRH of Ghana and therefore there is the need for further studies into interventions to reduce death among neonates born with VLBW and ELBW.展开更多

Therefore, it is crucial to understand factors associated with perinatal mortality in order to design strategies and interventions that will improve newborn outcomes. Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out, whereby pregnant women with gestational age ≥ 28 weeks were enrolled. Interviews were conducted during antenatal booking using structured questionnaire. Follow-up visits were made within 48 hours after delivery and on seventh day post delivery. Results: A total of 959 pregnant women were enrolled;38 were lost to follow-up prior delivery. The remaining 921 participants, resulting in PMR of 45.5 per 1000 births. Over half of the deaths were stillbirths (SBR 29.6 per 1000 births) and early neonatal deaths (ENMR 16.8 per 1000 live births). Using Generalized Linear Model (GLM), risk factors associated with perinatal mortality included: maternal age ≥ 35 years (ARR 3.0, 95% CI: 1.0 to 9.0), nulliparous women (ARR 4.2, 95% CI: 1.6 to 11.1), assisted vaginal delivery (ARR 5.1, 95% CI: 1.4 to 19.0), home delivery (ARR 3.3, 95% CI: 1.6 to 6.6), previous newborn death (ARR 4.0, 95% CI: 1.5 to 10.1), pregnancy-induced hypertension (ARR 4.8, 95% CI: 2.4 to 9.4), herbal use during labour (ARR 2.4, 95% CI: 1.2 to 5.1) and newborn asphyxia (ARR 5.9, 95% CI: 1.3 to 26.5). Conclusions: Perinatal mortality was found to be high in Zanzibar. Healthcare providers should pay special attention to women with pregnancy-induced hypertension and nulliparous women throughout pregnancy and delivery. However, home delivery and use of herbs during labour should be discouraged.展开更多
