Study of placental and birth weight ratio and its effect on perinatal outcome
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Gynaecology - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The Placenta is a dynamic organ, and plays a vital role in normal fetal development. The high placental weight /birth weight ratio was found to be associated with increased risk in hypertension in adulthood coronary heart disease, cardiovascular mortality and impaired glucose tolerance. Aim and Objectives: Aim: To study the range of placental weight and its ratio with neonatal birth weight. To study the relationship between placental weight and neonatal outcome. Objectives: To quantify placental weight and its ratio to the birth weight and to determine whether the abnormal placental weight and its ratio are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Material and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted during April 2018 to June 2018 in Department of obstetrics and Gynaecology, MGM medical college and hospital Aurangabad. Results: In present study duration 500 pregnant women were enrolled. The mean age of present study women was 24.67 with standard deviation of 4.23 years. The mean Placental weight and birth weight ratio of with mother babies was 20.26 was lesser as compared to NICU admitted babies 24.58 and IUD babies i.e. 21.50. The mean Placental weight and birth weight ratio difference in Neonatal Outcome was found to be statistically significant (p<0.0001). The mean birth weight, Placental weight and Placental weight and birth weight ratio of male babies was higher than that of their female. Conclusion: The significant increased risk for adverse neonatal outcome in newborns with high PW/BW ratios. ICU admission rate followed a trend where it was increased in the high PW/ BW ratio. The PW/BW ratio may provide as an easy clinical marker for short-term adverse obstetric outcomes.
