Objectives The purpose of the study is to determine the level of serum uric acid (s. uric acid) above which all complications occur, to analyze the maternal and fetal clinical and laboratory changes associated with elevated s. uric acid, and to determine whether s. uric acid can be used to predict maternal and fetal complications. Design A retrospective study of hospital records was done on 80 women of pregnancy induced hypertension including both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia from January 2011 to March 2012 at Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. The women were divided in two groups: with s. uric acid > 6 mg/dl/ s. uric acid < 6 mg/dl. Results S. uric acid > 6 mg/dl was associated with maternal complications while s. uric acid > 5.5 mg/dl was associated with low birth weight babies. The mean creatinine and platelet count in two groups were significantly different at 5% level. Statistically significant elevation of s. uric acid was found in women of eclampsia. Conclusion S. uric acid > 6 mg/dl is associated with increased maternal complications specially eclampsia and higher incidence of low birth weight. Thus, women with pregnancy induced hypertension with s. uric acid > 6 mg/dl should be offered termination of pregnancy.

Objectives: Jaundice in pregnancy carries with it a high mortality rate. In this study, we examined the characteristics of women ZLWK KHSDWLWLV ( DQG DVVHVVHG ZKHWKHU GHOLYHU\ KDV DQ\ LQÀXHQFH on survival of women with hepatitis E due to the stress of labor in terms of multiorgan failure after delivery.
Objectives: World Health Organization (WHO) has defined near miss case as 'a woman presenting any life-threatening condition and surviving a complication that occurred during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy'. This study aims to calculate near miss rate (NMR), maternal mortality rate (MMR), severe maternal outcome ratio, and near miss maternal death of our hospital. Indications of near miss events (NME) and their mortality index and the incidence of each organ dysfunction and its mortality index have been studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
