Introduction: Anemia is one of the most prevalent nutritional deficiency problem affecting pregnant women. It defined by World Health Organization as hemoglobin (Hb) level less than 11 g/dl. Hemoglobin 9.0- 10.9 g/dl mild, 7.0-8.9 moderate and 7 severe anemia respectively. Maternal in pregnancy commonly considered a risk factor for poor outcome can result complications that threaten life both m...

objective: there are some metabolic similarities between women with gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) and polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos); it is still uncertain, however, to what extent coexistence gdm and pcos affects pregnancy outcome. the present study was designed to determine the obstetric and neonatal outcome in pcos with gdm. materials and methods: a case-control study was conducted i...

Neonatal respiratory distress (NRD) is a common neonatal problem, which is responsible for high morbidity and mortality. There are few published studies in developing countries addressing neonatal respiratory distress. There is no previously published study in Sudan on this problem. The objective of the study is to determine the frequency, different causes, immediate outcome. It was a prospecti...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of maternal, fetal and obstetric parameters in twin pregnancies due to chorionicity, perinatal morbidity and early neonatal mortality. Methods: Early neonatal outcome parameters were retrospectively analysed in 240 twin pregnancies (51 monochorionic [MC], 189 dichorionic [DC] twins) over a 7.5 years period. Beside chorionicity, we...

background: due to complex causal framework of neonatal mortality, improvement of this health indicator is quite gradual and it's decreasing trend is not as great as other health indicators such as infant and under 5 mortality rates.this study was conducted to evaluate neonatal mortality risk factors based on nested case-control design. methods:  the study population was 6900 neonates who were ...
