A Prospective Study on the Assessment of Complications in Pregnancy at an Indian Super Specialty Hospital

Abstract

The main of this study is to estimate the prevalence of complications in pregnancy at an Indian superspeciality hospital. We considered all age groups of pregnant with more than 12 weeks of gestational age as inclusion criteria whereas the pregnant with other co-morbid conditions were considered as exclusion criteria with a prospective way of approach. Among the 325 pregnant, 74 (22.7%) were observed with complications during their pregnancy. Most of the pregnant women with complications were observed in the 26-30 years age group (43.2%) and the majority were observed with the complication hypothyroidism (71.6%) followed by gestational diabetes (13.5%). Most of the pregnant women were observed with complications in the first trimester (78.4%) followed by the second trimester (20.3%). Clinical pharmacists along with obstetricians should create awareness regarding the complications during pregnancy in order to prevent them in the early stage. Counselling sessions during the different trimesters will definitely show a positive impact in maintaining the overall health of pregnant women.
