Background: Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in the world. It affects not only the immediate neonatal period but also affects infancy, childhood and even adulthood. The aim of the study was to know various associated factors and outcome of preterm delivery and also the neonatal outcome. Methods: This is Retrospective Observational study conducted on 110 women with preterm birth in obstetrics and gynaecology department at tertiary care hospital from November, 2023 to April, 2024. General physical examination and systemic examination and obstetrical examination was carried out for the participants. Results: Patients with a history of previous one or more preterm deliveries and abortions have higher chances of recurrence of preterm birth; in this study, they accounted for 20.9% and 17.6%, respectively. There is higher incidence of preterm birth seen in lower socioeconomic class. The commonest obstetrical risk factor in our study was preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) accounting for 23.63% followed by anaemia accounting for 16.36%. Out of total number of live births 42(38.18%) babies required NICU admission. 9.5% neonatal deaths were seen in gestational age 34 weeks to <37 weeks, whereas 20% and 33.34% mortality were seen in 32 weeks to <34 weeks and 28 weeks to <32 weeks of gestation. The most common neonatal complications were Respiratory distress syndrome (32.75%), Septicaemia (18.10%), jaundice (15.52%) and Meconium aspiration syndrome (8.62%). Conclusions: Preterm labour and birth remain a major cause of perinatal mortality & morbidity in developing countries like India. Proper antenatal care, early detection and correction of risk factors, institutional delivery and good neonatal care facilities can improve the outcome of preterm labour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
