A STUDY ON PLACENTAL WEIGHT AND ITS ASSOCITION WITH MATERNAL AND NEONATAL CHARACTERISTICS
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
Placenta plays a vital role in normal fetal development and failure of placenta to gain weight and insufficiency of its function can result in fetal disorders. We performed this study to determine placental weight with birth weight, maternal diabetes, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, Anemia, Apgar score, SNCU admission, in a longitudinal cross-sectional study, women with single pregnancy, and gestational age between 29-42 weeks were studied. The placental weight, birth weight, maternal age, gestational age, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, maternal diabetes, Apgar score in 5th minutes after delivery were examined. Two fifty pregnant women were included in the study. The mean and standard deviation for maternal ages and gestational ages at deliveries were 25.6 ± 4.4 and 38.3 ± 4.4 days, respectively. The mean and standard deviation of neonates' weights at birth and placental weights were 2709 ± 614.0g and 466.6 ± 112.2 g, respectively. The prevalences of low and high placental weights were 2% and 2.8%, respectively. There were statistically significant relationships between placental weight, placental weight ratio(PWR) and birth weight, maternal diabetes, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, anemia, Apgar score, SNCU admission . Our findings indicate that placental weight Ratio(PWR) can be associated with important variables influencing some maternal and neonatal outcomes .Careful attention to placenta growth during pregnancy, for example by ultrasonography, can guide physicians to assess neonatal health.
