Abstract
To study the characteristics of pregnancies which end in antepartum still births using the classification systemReCoDe (Relevant Condition at Death) and to suggest measures to reduce incidence of still births in our study population. The study is a retrospective study of cases of stillbirths. In the present study 100 cases with still births admitted to Deptt. Of Obs & Gynecology Govt Medical College, Sir.T.Hospital, Bhavnagar fulfilling the inclusion criteria was included. All these cases were subjected to routine investigations and the placenta with cord was sent for HPE in all the cases and followed up to one week in the postpartum period. All the cases were classified according to relevant condition at death classification of still births (ReCoDe). On classifying the aetiology of stillbirths in all cases according to the ReCoDe classification we were able to classify 90% of cases and only 10% remain unclassified. In the present study 28% stillbirths were attributed IUGR as a cause, 22% cases mother had hypertensive disorder, 21% with antepartum haemorrhage as a cause and 15% with congenital fetal anomaly. Of 100 cases 53 had a positive correlation in placental and cord on histopathological examination. The present study helped to classify and study the aetiology of stillbirths in study population in simplified way on condition relevant at death. This study lets us know that most of the causes can be taken care of by instituting appropriate measures at right time. The importance of antenatal care, nutrition, counseling early detection and medical help, timely referral to tertiary care hospital, awareness among the patients, doctors and the society can be emphasized in reducing the incidence of stillbirths.
