5. / TITLE OF DISSERTATION / CLINICAL STUDY OF MATERNAL AND PERINATAL OUTCOME IN ABRUPTIO PLACENTAE PATIENTS.
6. / BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK:
6.1 NEED FOR STUDY:
Placental separation from its implantation site before delivery has been variously called placental abruption, abruptio placentae, and in Great Britain, accidental hemorrhage. The Latin term abruption placentae means "rending asunder of the placenta" and denotes a sudden accident, which is a clinical characteristic of most cases. The cumbersome term premature separation of the normally implanted placenta is most descriptive.1
Massive obstetric haemorrhage is a major contributor towards maternal morbidity and mortality. The main causes are abruptio placentae, placenta praevia and postpartum haemorrhage. Clinicians managing pregnant women should be equipped with the knowledge and skills for managing massive obstetric haemorrhage to institute timely and appropriate life-saving treatment. Prompt resuscitation and reversal of coagulopathy are critical while definitive measures are carried out to arrest the bleeding.2
Therefore this study is planned to study maternal and perinatal outcome in patients of abruptio placentae so as to outline the important causes, ways to earlier diagnosis, proper management of the patient so as to improve both the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality and specify as to what requires improvement in developing country like ours to improvise the same.
6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
1.  Carl A Narl, Cande V Ananth et al conducted a population based case control study for association between abruption placentae and low birth weight. They concluded that there is no association between abruption and low birth weight. Their result indicated, preterm birth is intermediary between placental abruption and low birth weight.3
2.  A Yla Outinen, M Palalder, P K Heinonen studied retrospectively, a total of 180 (0.21%) out of 85.177 deliveries were complicated by abruptio placentae (AP) during the period 1962–1981. Of these the obstetric records of 130 deliveries were retrospectively studied in order to elucidate risk factors for the occurrence of abruptio placentae as well as to find out factors influencing the outcome of the newborn. A history of abruptio placentae revealed an 11-fold risk of premature separation of placentae in subsequent pregnancy. The factors most significantly associated with favorable prognosis of the newborn were: duration of gestation, birth weight and the degree of separation of the placenta.4
3.  Amornrath Pitaphrom and Nares Sukcharoen conducted retrospective study between 1994 to 2004 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, studied 11375 singleton deliveries and found 103 cases were complicated by abruption. Placental abruption attributed to maternal complications including hemorrhagic shock (19.4%), Couvelaire uterus (16.5%) and DIC (5.8%). The perinatal outcomes included low birth weight (65.0%), preterm (56.3%), severe birth asphyxia (16.5%) and perinatal death (16.5%). Placental abruption with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), DIC and blood transfusion had a significantly higher incidence of perinatal mortality than the remainder.5
4.  Gunnar Ceiksen, Mognes Wohlet Vibeke in the year 1991, conducted a case control investigation in which course of pregnancy and labour, neonatal out come and social circumstances were compared between 87 women with placental abruption and control group of 5697 women. It was found that, amniocentesis, congenital malformation, maternal smoking and a job involving much standing or walking were associated with placental abruption6
5.  Lam CM / Won SF – 2002 – A retrospective study was carried out to identify risk factors for preterm delivery in women with placenta previa and ante partum haemorrhage and found that preterm delivery was increased with placenta previa and APH and who have 2nd trimester vaginal bleeding or presence of uterine contractions.7
6.  Dohetry DA, Newnham JP, Magann EF 2008 – a study was carried to evaluate factors associated with unexplained antepartum bleeding of unknown origin after 24 weeks of pregnancy and correlate Unexplained hemorrhage with maternal and perinatal outcome – women with ABUO (Antepartum Bleeding of Unknown Origin) are at greater risk of preterm delivery, and their neonates are at a greater risk for NICU admission, hyperbilirubinemia. 8
6.3 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY:
1. To study the incidence, risk factors and clinical profile of abruptio placentae patients.
2. To study the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in abruptio placentae.
