“…This is consistent with other studies presented internationly and locally 7,10,9 , their incidences being 13.9% 4 , 3.50%, 7 15.2% 9 . Frequency of postpartum hemorrhage is not far higher in unbooked patients as compared to booked patients in the study presented.…”

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]

“…This was comparable to other studies. 7,8,10 In present study neonatal morbidity were encountered in 16.75% neonates of study group and 15.5% of neonates in control group. In study group, most common cause being RDS (5.38%) followed by birth asphyxia (4.62%), gross congenital malformation (1.78%), IUGR (1.5%), MAS (1.5%), neonatal sepsis (1%) while in control group, most common cause of neonatal morbidity was IUGR (3.75%) and MAS (3.50%) (Because high proportion of cases with hypertension), Birth asphyxia (2.75%).…”

“…This was comparable with other studies. 5,[7][8][9][10] In present study perinatal mortality was encountered in 11.80% of cases in study group and 3.50% in control groups. There was statistically significant difference between babies of unbooked and booked women in term of neonatal ICU admissions (22%; vs 15.25% p<0.01) intrauterine death (IUD) (5.75% vs 1.75%; p<0.0.01), and early neonatal deaths (5% vs 2.75%; p< 0.01).…”

“…These findings were consistent with findings of other studies. [5][6][7][8][9] This study shows that 30.50% babies of unbooked mothers and 19.50% babies of booked mother had Apgar score <7 at one minute (p<0.002) while 12% babies of unbooked mothers and 5.50% babies of booked mothers had Apgar score of <7 at five minute. It indicates that as compared to booked mothers, babies of unbooked mothers were 1.5 times more likely to have birth asphyxia (p<0.002).…”

Background:The high perinatal mortality rates are indicators of the poor state of health services and it is pertinent to determine the relationship between the booking status of mother and fetal outcomes. Methods: In the present randomized prospective study of 400 unbooked (study group) obstetric cases were evaluated and compared with 400 booked (control group) obstetric cases over a period of one year. Results: Perinatal outcomes of women in study group were significantly poorer than women in control group due to high preterm delivery, LBW, with low Apgar score at five minutes, with more NICU admission due to RDS, with high perinatal mortality in term of IUD, early neonatal deaths in study group. Conclusions: Findings of the study will help the programmers and service providers in identifying areas where emphasis has to be given in the development of strategies that will promote the utilization of antenatal services, to reduce adverse perinatal and fetal outcome.

“…For women to benefit from the existing cost-effective interventions, they must have antenatal care in pregnancy, skilled care during delivery and postnatal care [74]. While antenatal care and skilled delivery could prevent seizures, postnatal visits are important to assess the recovery of the woman and to discuss what might happen in the future.…”

Objectives. Review of public health perspectives of preeclampsia in developing countries and implications for health system strengthening. Methods. Literature from Pubmed (MEDLINE), AJOL, Google Scholar, and Cochrane database were reviewed. Results. The prevalence of preeclampsia in developing countries ranges from 1.8% to 16.7%. Many challenges exist in the prediction, prevention, and management of preeclampsia. Promising prophylactic measures like low-dose aspirin and calcium supplementation need further evidence before recommendation for use in developing countries. Treatment remains prenatal care, timely diagnosis, proper management, and timely delivery. Prevailing household, community, and health system factors limiting effective control of preeclampsia in these countries were identified, and strategies to strengthen health systems were highlighted. Conclusion. Overcoming the prevailing challenges in the control of preeclampsia in developing countries hinges on the ability of health care systems to identify and manage women at high risk.
