Pregnancy Outcome between Booked and Unbooked Cases in A Tertiary Level Hospital

Abstract

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG'2030) 4; P=0.667) .But unbooked cases had a lower educational status (P<0.0036). Majority of the unbooked cases were from low family income group. Unbooked mothers were about less likely to deliver by spontaneous vaginal delivery compared to booked mothers (28% to 39%; P<0.339) and more likely to be delivered by emergency caesarean section than booked mothers.Unbooked mothers were having low birth weight babies than booked mother (2.65±0. 595 and 3.02±0.477, p<0.010). Referral to neonatal unit more common in unbooked cases (69.6% to 25.6%). Post partum complications in unbooked and booked cases were (44%and 20.5%). Conclusion:The study showed a positive correlation between socio -demographic factor and lack of proper antenatal care and adverse pregnancy outcome. Improving the availability and accessibility of quality antenatal and delivery care services in all our institutes will improve pregnancy outcome. [J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll 2017; 9(2): 43-48]
