To study the epidemiological profile of preterm deliveries
Retrospective Observational Study
1 year: June 2014 to May 2015
Data was collected from the case papers of pregnant women and their outcome was studied.
As many as 10% of products of conception end up being delivered prematurely2
Most common causes of neonatal mortality can be attributed to prematurity or related complications. By studying the epidemiological profile of premature deliveries, causes can be classified as preventable, partially preventable and non-preventable.3By identifying preventable causes of preterm deliveries and providing necessary timely interventions, many-a- lives can be saved. Our study was a small step in realizing this dream.
