Bacteriological Study of Endocervix in Preterm Labour and Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
Abstract: Pre term labour is the one which is challenging the safe motherhood practices and causing more peri natal morbidity and mortality in India. AIMS 1. To study the association of maternal demographic factors and spectrum of bacteria from Endocervical swab culture in patients with Preterm labour, Preterm premature rupture of membranes.2. To study maternal and fetal outcome and complications associated with preterm labour and preterm premature rupture of membranes. The present study was done in 130 patients demographic factors like occupation, education, socio economic status, body mass index, passive smoking were taken and cervical swabs was taken for cultural sensitivity and patients complaining of preterm labour, PTL, PPROM and TPTL were in between 21-25 yrs. PTL (Preterm Labour), PPROM (Preterm Premature Rupture Of Membranes) and TPTL (Threatened Preterm Labour) was found to be more common in housewives who were primigravidae in the gestational age of 34-36 weeks, was common among primary school and middle school, belongs to upper lower socio-economic status. Risk of PPROM is associated with low BMI
