Abstract:
Background- Still births are a major public health issue. it is the sensitive marker of the quality of care around pregnancy and birth. every year at least 2.65 million still births occur worldwide,98% in developing countries where social and medical causes and risk factors of still birth are rarely investigated. It is crucial that we understand causes and contributing factors. Method- We conducted a prospective observational study over a period of 2 years from oct. 2019 to sept 2021 in Gajra raja medical college gwalior, mp. 46 still births occurred .they were classified into two groups – antepartum still birth(n= 18) & intra partum stillbirth (n= 28). These study design to find out probable social and medical causes and associated factors behind still births. A Substantial number of cases dealt with at our teaching hospital are recorded surrounding villages. Main result- among the total 1670 deliveries during the study period,46 still birth( including 2 twins) occurred giving a still birth rate of 27.5/1000 births. Out of the 44 women having still births. 30 women (68.18%) registered in ANC clinics. ,18 (60%) women were belongs in middle income families. ,12 women (40%) were belongs in low incomes families. 14 women (31.8%) were unregisteres. , Out of 14, 10 women(71.4%) were belongs in poor income families and 4 women (28.57%) were belongs in middle incomes families. . Most of the women were age groups of 20-30 years. Prematurity and severe anemia most commonly cause of still birth which seen in unregister pts. Conclusion- Stillbirth remains one of the most common adverse outcomes of pregnancy. To the majority of still births, an underlying likely cause of death could be determined despite limited diagnostic capacity . Registration of all births and stillbirths to evaluation of cause of stillbirths are important initial steps for developing countries. A significant proportion of still births is preventable by adequate antenatal care. To build capacity for perinatal death audit, clear guidelines and a suitable classification system to assign cause of death must be known.
