Objectives: To compare the frequency of effectiveness of postpartum IUCD(PPIUCD) with interval IUCD at Tertiary care Hospital in Hyderabad. Study Design: Randomizedcontrolled trial. Setting: Gynaecological and Obstetrical Department, Liaquat UniversityHospital, Hyderabad. Period: Six months from February 2016 to July 2016. Material andMethods: Total 100 women were studied. All the women with age 18 to 40 years, having atleast one alive child were included in the study. Women were divided in two groups according tocontraception methods of IUCD (50 women in each group). In Group-A IUCD were inserted afterplacental delivery within 10 minutes to 48 hours (PPIUCD) and in group-B IUCD were insertedany time of women’s menstrual cycle (Interval IUCD). All the women were followed for 6 months.All the data regarding effectiveness among both groups was recorded. Results: Mean ± SDage of group-A (PPIUCD) patients was 26.02 ± 5.87 years while group-B (Interval IUCD) was26.34 ± 5.95 years. Majority of patient’s i-e; 76.0% of group-A and 68.0% of group-B were fromurban areas. IUCD was successfully place among 94.0% women of group-A and among 98.0%women in group-B. At the end of 6 months follow-up, 86.0% patients of group-A continuedPPIUCD while in group-B, 96.0% women continued Interval IUCD. After 6 months follow-up,effectiveness of IUCD was 90.0% in group-B and 80.0% in group-A. Stratified analysis revealedthat there was a non-significant effect of age on effectiveness of IUCD among both groups (Pvalues= 0.094 & 0.223 respectively) so was the parity (P values= 0.384 & 0.747 respectively).Conclusion: It was concluded that interval IUCD found to be effective method as compare topost postpartum IUCD (PPIUCD). While women have recently given birth to neonate were moreagreed to practice of PPIUCD, due to its quick insertion.
Objectives: To determine the maternal and fetal outcomes in patients presented with major degree of placenta previa at tertiary care Hospital. Study Design: Descriptive cases series study. Setting: Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of Liaquat University Hospital Hyderabad. Period: One year from March 2015 to February 2016. Subject and Methods: All patients with major degrees of placenta previa were included in study. Following delivery the examination of neonate was carried out thoroughly including congenital abnormalities, weight of baby and Apgar score. Babies and mothers were examined within postoperative wards till stitches removal and systematically examined for any postoperative complication. All the data was entered in the proforma. Results: Total 50 patients with major degrees of placenta previa were selected. Majority of the women 40% belonged to the age group of 30-35 years. Most of the women 92.0%, were symptomatic and presented with painless vaginal bleeding. Elective cesarean section was performed among 20% patients while 80% patients underwent emergency cesarean section. 70% patients delivered preterm and 30% delivered at term. 3(6%) fetals were still births and 1(2.0%) presented macerated still birth. 16% fetuses developed respiratory distress syndrome, 6% had intrauterine growth restriction and only one had congenital abnormality (spina bifida). Neonatal weight less than 2500-grams was among 90%. Perinatal mortality was 6(12.0%), and according to maternal outcome, mortality rate was low i.e. just 1 subjects passed away. Conclusion: Major degree of placenta previais a significant contributor of obstetric hemorrhage in 02nd and 03rd trimesterof pregnancy as well as it adversely correlates with feto-maternal outcomes. Instant moving the case of obstetric hemorrhage to hospitals, precise diagnosis, sufficient transfusion provision, intervention without delay can reduce the fetomaternal morbidity and mortality.
