This study is a retrospective analysis of the pregnancy outcome over a period of 5 years at IPGME&R and SSKM Hospital, Calcutta. Of the total 13,211 obstetrical admissions during the period from 1st January, 1990 to 31st December, 1994, 32.6% cases were admitted for antenatal complications, 27.3% for antenatal observations, 0.5% for postpartum complications and 39.4% for medical termination of pregnancy. Vaginal delivery was carried out in 50% of cases of which 78.7% were of normal vaginal delivery and 21.2% were of instrumental delivery. In the remaining cases caesarean section was done of which again 58.1% was elective and 41.8% was emergency caesarean sections. Maternal mortality was 4.6/1,000 live births. Perinatal mortality rate was 3.9%. The analysed data reflect the fact that the maternal mortality and perinatal mortality were well controlled over this period in spite of a large number of complicated cases being referred to this hospital with minimum facilities. A retrospective study of the 13,211 obstetrical admissions in 1990-94 to a teaching hospital in Calcutta, India, revealed generally adequate pregnancy outcomes, despite the referral of a large number of complicated cases to this facility. 4312 cases (32.6%) involved antenatal complications, primarily abortion, anemia, and hypertensive disorders, and 3617 (27.3%) were referred for observation after a reduction in fetal movement; another 5217 (39.4%) were for medical termination of pregnancy. Of the 6633 deliveries in the study, 3315 (50%) were by cesarean section. There were 30 maternal deaths, for a maternal mortality rate of 4.6/1000 live births. The main causes of maternal death were eclampsia, septic abortion, cardiac arrest, and respiratory failure after cesarean section. Of the 6703 newborns delivered, 2.6% were stillborn and 33.9% were low birth weight. The perinatal mortality rate was 3.9/1000 live births. |
