COVID-19 disease can manifest itself in pregnant women in a variety of ways. Comorbid conditions have a significant impact on the progression of COVID-19 severity. Several studies have showed that, serum ferritin level was associated with severity of COVID-19 infection. So, we conducted this study to evaluate the comparison of mean serum ferritin levels between non-severe and severe COVID-19 infection groups during third trimester of pregnancy. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the mean serum ferritin levels between non-severe and severe COVID-19 infection groups in third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, COVID-19 Unit, BSMMU and DMCH. Sampling method was purposive. Total 154 cases were included in this study after matching eligibility criteria. After collecting intravenous blood, serum ferritin level was measured. Results: Among 154 cases, 24.7% cases were asymptomatic, 40.3% cases were mild, 24.7% cases were moderate and 10.4% cases were severe COVID-19 infection during third trimester of pregnancy. The non-severe COVID-19 infection group consisted of 100 cases of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 infected patients, with a mean serum ferritin level of 51.48 ng/ml. The severe COVID-19 infection group consisted of 54 cases of moderate and severe COVID-19 infected patients, with a mean serum ferritin level of 478.37 ng/ml. The independent samples t-test revealed a p-value of ≤0.05 (0.0000000002), when comparing the mean values of these two groups. Conclusion: Serum ferritin level rises significantly in severe COVID-19 infection during third trimester of pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":394508,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology","volume":"106 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139614614","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}

This study aimed to analyze the characteristics and outcomes of abortion cases in a tertiary-level hospital setting, providing insights into the demographic profile of patients, nature and type of abortions, treatment methods, and post-abortion complications. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Uttara Adhunik Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from June 2022 to July 2023. A total of 100 patients were consecutively sampled based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected through patient medical records and interviews, focusing on demographic information, details of the abortion, and subsequent outcomes. Result: The majority of patients were in the 26-30 age group (42%), with 58% being primigravida. Most abortions occurred in the early stages of pregnancy (<13 weeks, 75%). Incomplete abortions were the most common type (83%), and the majority of cases were spontaneous (84%). Surgical intervention (D&C) was the predominant treatment method (83%). While most patients (84%) did not experience complications, a minority faced significant health challenges, including shock (5%) and septicemia (3%). Conclusion: The study highlights a high incidence of incomplete abortions and a preference for surgical treatment in abortion cases at the tertiary hospital level in Bangladesh. These findings underscore the need for improved abortion care, enhanced patient education, and better access to comprehensive abortion services. The study's insights are crucial for informing policy and practice to improve reproductive health services and address the challenges of unsafe abortion practices in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":394508,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology","volume":"27 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139167966","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}

Both the woman & the obstetrician become desperate to know the cause of IUFD & its prevention in future pregnancy. In more than 50% cases causes of fetal death cannot be determined. Objective: To identify common risk factors associated with IUFD. Methods: It was a cross sectional study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Rangpur Medical College Hospital, Rangpur over the period of 6 months dated from July 2017 to December 2017. Sample size: 50 cases. All pregnant woman after 28 weeks of gestational age who were admitted in antenatal ward of the Gynae & Obstetric department of Rangpur Medical College Hospital, Rangpur. During the study period all the patients with IUFD & Fetuses who does not show any signs of births were the study population of this study. Result: Total 50 patients included in your study. Table-I shows that most of the women with IUFD cases fall in the age group of 20-30years 76% and 72% of women had primary level of education. Most of the patient 70%were from middle class. All were housewife. Majority (88%) were from rural area. Majority 52% were primigravida, 50% were>36weeks of gestational age, history of abortion were in 14% cases & IUFD in 04% cases. None of the patient took regular antenatal care, most of the Patient (72%) took irregular ANC, and 28% of patient did not take any ANC. Hypertensive disorder was the major risk factors 34% which include chr.

This study aims to explore the impact of lower Apgar scores on perinatal outcomes, providing valuable insights into neonatal health and the effectiveness of prenatal assessments. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 150 pregnant women from a medical facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Participants were assessed using the Biophysical Profile (BPP) score and Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes post-delivery. The study focused on the association between these scores and perinatal outcomes, including birth asphyxia, neonatal death, and INCU admissions. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the significance of these associations. Result: The majority of the study population were young, with 62% aged between 18-25 years. A significant correlation was found between lower Apgar scores at 1 minute and adverse perinatal outcomes. Specifically, 100% of neonates with a BPP score of 6 had an Apgar score of less than 7 at 1 minute, compared to only 2.65% in the BPP score 10 group. Additionally, 52% of neonates with an Apgar score of less than 7 at 1 minute experienced birth asphyxia, and 48% required INCU admission. Conclusion: The study highlights the critical role of Apgar and BPP scores in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes. Lower Apgar scores at 1 minute post-delivery are significantly associated with negative neonatal health outcomes, emphasizing the need for vigilant prenatal monitoring and preparedness for immediate neonatal care, particularly in resource-limited settings like Bangladesh. This research contributes to the understanding of neonatal health in such contexts and underscores the importance of predictive assessments in improving perinatal health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":394508,"journal":{"name":"Scholars International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology","volume":"504 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138983239","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}
