We aimed to study the correlation between AMS and ELN risk group and outcomes- induction remission (IR), time to remission (TTR) and relapse. \u0000Material and Methods: This was a combined prospective and retrospective study of 104 AML patients over 30 months. Flow cytometry based quantitative expression of CD34, TdT and CD117 on blasts was used for calculating AMS and additional tube for CD34+CD38-CD123+ cells was put at diagnosis in 47 patients prospectively studied. The patients received 1-2 cycles of standard induction (3+7) comprising Daunorubicin (60mg/m2/day for 3 days) and Cytarabine (continuous infusion 100mg/m2/day for 7 days). Data was collected on the clinical and laboratory parameters, cytogenetics and molecular profile of these patients who were followed up for IR, TTR and relapse. \u0000Results: Of 104 patients, AML-im were 86.6% (90/104) and AML-ma were 13.4% (14/104). Patients were classified as – favorable risk (28.8%), intermediate risk (50%) and adverse risk (21.1%) on the basis of ELN 2017. Of 104 patients, 74 attained IR and of 65 patients followed up over mean period of 18 months, 27 relapsed. The mean AMS was significantly more in patients who attained IR (p=0.003).

During pregnancy, it is considered a high-risk state because it is associated with maternal complications like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, obstetric interventions like caesarean delivery, postpartum haemorrhage; and fetal complications like macrosomia, poor apgar scores. BMI is a commonly used indicator which can be used to classify subjects on the basis of weight.AIM: This study aims to find the prevalence of normal weight, overweight and obese pregnant women defined by body mass index (BMI) according to the WHO classification and to study the associations between maternal BMI, the mode of delivery and neonatal outcome.MATERIAL AND METHODS: 200 pregnant women admitted for delivery in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology were studied, height and weight were recorded from reliable antenatal records (recorded within two months of gestation). The Body Mass Index was calculated and patients were divided into four categories: Category I: underweight; Category II: normal BMI; Category III: Overweight; Category IV: Obese. The feto-maternal outcomes were studied.RESULTS: On evaluation of 200 nulliparous antenatal women with singleton term gestation, 1.5% were underweight, 33% had normal BMI, 56% were overweight and 9.5% were obese. The prolongation of labour was seen in subjects with BMI more than 25 kg/m2. Overweight patients had more instrumental deliveries and obese patients had a higher tendency for prolonged labour and caesarean deliveries. Neonatal outcomes were poor for obese and overweight patients as compared to normal BMI because more neonates required resuscitation at birth, had low Apgar scores and were small for gestational age. Maternal complications like Hypothyroidism, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes occurred more commonly in the obese category.CONCLUSION: In our institution, majority of patients were found to be overweight. Adverse perinatal outcomes were seen more often in the obese patients. Hence, obesity must be identified as a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes.","PeriodicalId":14075,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Science And Diagnosis Research","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77605678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detailed history including complete demographic information, past medical history, dietary history, previous menstrual & obstetric history, any antenatal complications. Delivery details including mode of delivery, birth weight and APGAR scores were recorded on the proforma. Serum vitamin D was estimated fromthe maternal blood sample. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as 25(OH) D levels in blood less than 20 ng/ml, and insufficiency of vitamin D was defined as 25(OH) D levels between 20-30 ng/ml.Results: In this study, there was a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (93.5%) in the pregnant women though there was no significant difference in socio-demographic factors in the deficient and non-deficient group.
