Study on pregnancy outcome in normal and intrauterine growth restriction
Keywords:
predetermined growth, IUGR, lower segment caesarean section, NICU, stillbirthAbstract
Background: Failure in achievement of predetermined growth genetically due to placental, fetal, maternal and several external variables is known as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). It accounts more in developing countries. Materials and methods: All the data of the patients were noted in a pre-structured case proforma after taking informed consent. Study population was divided into 50 cases and 50 controls. Results: In IUGR lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was observed in 64 % and normal vaginal delivery was 36 %. In IUGR neonate’s distribution was 42% males and 58% females. In IUGR, NICU admissions were 40%, 10% stillbirth and 50% were normal without any morbidities. Conclusion: The observation in our study reveals that in female neonates the incidence is more than males. The outcome of IUGR is adverse with a greater number of NICU admissions and stillbirth.
