Abstract
Objective: To describe the perinatal mortality and morbidity associated with preterm labour at a tertiary care hospital in Nagpur Maharashtra. Methods: Present study was carried out at Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur during August 2007 to August 2009. Total 320 cases were studied out of which 160 were in study group and 160 were in control group. Study Group included all cases reporting to labour room or OPD as preterm labour or threatened preterm who deliver prematurely before 37 weeks and cases who presented to our ANC OPD as threatened preterm and were conserved with tocolysis but failed to respond and delivered prematurely. We have excluded all cases of induced preterm labour. Control Group comprised of one hundred and sixty consecutive cases admitted as full term pregnancy in labour. NICU admissions and mortality was recorded. Results: In our study, morbidity rate was 41% as compared to 1.2% in term neonates in terms of requiring NICU admissions. In our study the mortality rate was 23% in study group as compared to 0.6% in control group, which was statistically highly significant (p<0.001).
