Objective: To determine the fetal outcome after delivery in pregnant females presenting in preterm labour with mitral stenosis during pregnancy.
Methods: We conducted descriptive study in Unit II, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Services Hospital, Lahore from 23-12-2017-to-22-12-2018. Total 136 females who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. After detailed information and consent, demographic profile and gestational age were noted then preterm birth (<37weeks) was labeled. After delivery, fetal outcome was scrutinized by weight (<2.5 kg) at the time of birth and APGAR score (<7).
Results: Mean age of women in this study was 28.64±6.32years. Mean gestational age was 35.26±2.37weeks. Among women 48(35.3%) were primigravida, 58 (42.6%) women were para 1 and 30 (22.1%) women were para 2 or above. Preterm delivery was seen in 47(34.6%) women. Poor Apgar score was seen in 41(30.1%) cases and 51(37.5%) mothers had Low birth weight neonates.
Conclusion: Low birth weight was the most frequently observed outcome in women who presented with Mitral stenosis followed by preterm delivery and Poor APGAR score.
