Antenatal Risk Scoring Scale for Predication of Low Birth Weight and Its Validity.

Background: Prediction of low birth weight (LBW) early during pregnancy may prevent LBW by appropriate interventions.

Aims/objective: The aim of the study is to develop an antenatal risk scoring scale for prediction of LBW.

Subject And Methods: Routine and in-depth information on diet, occupation, and rest was collected from November 1, 2013, to November 13, 2015.

A Prospective Cohort Study to Assess and Correlate the Maternal Periodontal Status with Their Pregnancy Outcome.

Background: There is an overwhelming body of evidence strongly suggesting that periodontal infection may have a significant negative impact on pregnancy outcome in some women. The aim of this study was to determine the association between periodontal disease and preterm low birth weight of babies.

Materials And Methods: A total of 300 pregnant women, between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation i.

Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasonography for Detection of Abruption and Its Clinical Correlation and Maternal and Foetal Outcome.

Introduction: Placental abruption complicates about 1% of singleton pregnancies and is an important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Though sensitivity and reliability of ultrasound are poor for detecting or excluding placental abruption, because of the advances in ultrasound resolution, imaging and interpretation, sensitivity of ultrasound is better than what was reported previously.

Aim: To determine the diagnostic performance of Ultrasonography (USG) for the detection of placental abruption and whether sonographic results correlate with maternal and foetal management and outcome.

Field Testing of Second Generation of Colour-Coded Rings for Detecting Slow Progress of Labour at Rural Health Centres.

Introduction: An innovative appropriate technological tool of colour-coded rings based on cervicographic principles was developed to monitor deliveries.

Objectives: To study efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of colour-coded rings for monitoring active phase of labour.

Materials And Methods: All consecutive deliveries occurring at selected primary health centres from Pune, Satara and Kolhapur Districts of Maharashtra, during 15 months period were included in the study and matched control groups.
