Introduction: Caesarean section (CS) causes some complications. We here attempted to determine the rate of CS complications, characterize their timing, and identify risk factors among women delivered at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC). Methods: Patients who underwent in KCMC were interviewed analysed. Risk expressed with Odds ratio (OR) 95% CI. Results: Of 386 deliveries, 106 (27.5%...

AIMS The aim of the current study was to determine the prevalence of grandmultiparity and the associated risks factors. METHODS Four hundred thirty grandmutliparas (parity 5 or more) were compared with multiparous population (parity 2-4) with regard to maternal age, gestational age, mode of delivery, fetal and maternal outcomes and inter-current medical and obstetrical problems.

An archaeological investigation of a medieval cemetery gave us the opportunity to investigate 49 Danish skeletons dating from 1000 to 1250 A.D. and to compare them with 298 contemporary Danes (aged 19-79 years) and assess the millennial trend in bone mineral density (BMD) in populations considered genetically closely related. BMD and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) of the femoral neck were...

OBJECTIVE Pregnancy is associated with profound alterations in the cardiovascular system, the long-term effects of which are unknown. Human epidemiological studies suggest that multiparity (multiple pregnancies) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms underlying these findings remain to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to determine the long-term effects of par...

Grand multiparity is defined by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) as 5 deliveries or more [1]. Although the incidence of grand multiparity is low in economically developed countries, religious or cultural factors mean that it is common in some populations or communities. Several studies have provided data concerning the risk of grand multiparity for bothmother and...

Besides the obstetric causes, several other medical, social, ethical, economic and medico legal factors play a role in this rising trend of cesarean section. Initially it was performed mainly for maternal interest but recently the health of the fetus has played a significant role i...

Clinical (age, parity, body weight, height, medical history, prior history abdominal surgery, complete blood counts within 1week conization), pathologic results (type HPV infection, punch biopsy ...
