BACKGROUND Previous cross-sectional studies have highlighted a number of obstetric variables that may be associated with the development of broadly defined puerperal (post-partum) psychosis. These include: (a) primiparity, (b) pregnancy complications, (c) delivery complications, (d) Caesarean section, (e) female baby and (f) shorter gestation period. AIMS To examine these risk factors in wome...

The study aimed to compare obstetrical complications in two parity groups, primiparity and multiparity and further determine the association of parity status with neonatal outcomes. A Retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar (Punjab, India). One hundred patients delivered in the department (booked and unbook...

OBJECTIVE To study the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) and its association with maternal factors. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING Urban community. SUBJECTS Cohort of 210 pregnant women. RESULTS The LBW prevalence was 30.3%. On multivariate analyses the maternal factors significantly associated with LBW were anemia (OR-4.81), low socioeconomic status (OR-3.96), short birth interval (OR...

BACKGROUND Intrapartum risk is based mainly on obstetric history, which is lacking in primiparous women. OBJECTIVES To ascertain whether the traditional known risk of primiparity is an independent variable for both maternal and neonatal outcome. METHODS All women admitted to labor during March-April 2002 were canvassed for eligibility to participate in the study based on an obstetric risk s...

Abstract Effective wildlife management requires an understanding of the factors affecting population vital rates. Age at primiparity can be important determinant growth Thus, influencing age in wild populations is for their and conservation. American black bears ( Ursus americanus ) are widely distributed North America show considerable variation across range. We tested hypotheses regarding top...

BACKGROUND Episodes of postpartum psychosis have been associated with first pregnancies in women with bipolar I disorder. It is unclear, however, if the effect extends to episodes at other times in relation to childbirth and to women with other mood disorders such as major depression and bipolar II disorder. This primiparity effect, which is also seen in other pregnancy related conditions such ...

OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether primiparity is an intrapartum obstetric risk factor for maternal and perinatal outcome. METHODS The comparative case-controlled study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Sir Syed Hospital, a tertiary care facility in Karachi, from January 2008 to June 2009. A self-developed structured proforma was used to obtain relevant information ...

Variation in age of primiparity is important for population dynamics and wildlife management because it can affect growth. Using a novel technique based on the trade-off between annual horn growth reproduction, we estimated 2274 female mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus, de Blainville 1816) harvested across British Columbia, Canada, from 1976 to 2019. We then investigated spatio-temporal varia...

OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the modern prevalence and risk factors for third- and fourth-degree perineal tears. STUDY DESIGN The study population comprised 38,252 women who delivered in one medical center, from January 2005 through December 2009, and met the following inclusion criteria: singleton pregnancy, vertex presentation, and vaginal delivery.
