Background: Lengthened pregnancy after the 41st week will create problems for mother, fetus and newborn. Assessing the outcomes of prolonged pregnancy are research priorities. Objective: To determine the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of prolonged pregnancy. Design: This was a case-control study in which the data were collected through record sheets. Sample: There were 1800 samples in this research of which 600 women (prolonged pregnancy) made the case group and were selected through continuous sampling. Control group included 1200 women (normal pregnancy) which were chosen by simple random sampling. Result: The findings indicated there was significant relationship between maternal outcomes (i.e. such as induction of labour, responding to induction in the 1st and 2nd days, spontaneous and cesarean child birth, postpartum hemorrhage, and duration of second stage of delivery) and prolonged pregnancy (P<0.05). There were also significant relationship between prolonged pregnancy and fetal outcomes such as fetal distress, meconium passage, decreased fetal movements in admission time, and decreased volume of amniotic fluid (P<0/05). Regarding to neonatal outcomes, there was a significant relationship between prolonged pregnancy and admission in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and infant weight at birth (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the findings, increased labour induction, responding to induction in the second day, preference of child birth through cesarean, increased postpartum hemorrhage, prolonged second stage of delivery, fetal distress, meconium passage, decreased fetal movements in admission time, decreased volume of amniotic fluid, and increased infant birth weight were known adverse outcomes of prolonged pregnancy. Therefore, the termination of prolonged pregnancy after 41st is recommended. This termination is recommended to be done at areas equipped with special cares and facilities (i.e. child birth, after child birth, infant resuscitation, and NICU facilities).

Background: Prolonged pregnancy or post-dated pregnancy is that pregnancy which has exceeded duration considered to be upper limit of normal pregnancy that is above 40 completed weeks or 280 days from the first day of last menstrual period. The objective was to evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcome of post-dated pregnancy.Methods: A prospective case control study was conducted on antenatal women for 18 months period from May 2014- October 2015 admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. The study group was comprised of antenatal women having pregnancy beyond 40 weeks, and the control group was represented with antenatal women between 37-40 weeks admitted for delivery during this period.Results: The prevalence of post-dated pregnancy was found to be 17.6% and of post-term was 5.69%. Among post-dated subjects LSCS rate was 56.50% and in term (37-40 weeks) patient it was 34.18%. The NICU admissio...

The probability of a pregnancy terminating in a full-term, healthy live birth is a powerful indicator of the health status of its women, and of the quality of health care available to them during pregnancy and birth. The present study conducted to find out the maternal outcome of prolonged pregnancy. This study carried out in the department of obstetrics, Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, between the period of February 2003 and December 2003. Patients admitted in labour ward having the history of post dates but not in labour and some were admitted during first stage of labour. Patients who were sure about their Last Menstrual Period (LMP) and those patients who had regular menstrual cycle were included in the study. Total 139 respondents were included in the study. Among them 114 (82.01%) were in the age group of 18 to 29 years and 25 (17.99%) were in the age group of ?30 years. Among the respondents 67 (48.2%) were primi gravida and 72 (51.8%) were multi g...
Prolonged pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy that extends beyond 42 weeks of gestation (294 days) from the first day of the last normal menstrual period. An accurate estimation of the 'natural' incidence of prolonged pregnancy would require meticulous early pregnancy dating. The use of ultrasound to establish gestational age reduces the number of pregnancies that are classified as prolonged. Prolonged pregnancy is associated with an increased perinatal mortality and morbidity in pregnancies which appear to be otherwise low risk. Postterm births are easily preventable by intervening to deliver with the use of induction of labor. Thus, this potentially problematic condition deserves further attention and careful consideration. The focus of this article is to review and challenge some current concepts surrounding the diagnosis and management of prolonged pregnancy. We outline how to identify those women with prolonged pregnancy and which is the appropriate moment to start monitoring the fetal wellbeing. Finally we address the question of benefits and hazards of induction of labor strategies.

Background: Prolonged pregnancy has always been regarded as a high‑risk condition because perinatal morbidity and mortality is known to rise. The interest in postdatism (just beyond expected date of delivery) has been recent and the management is controversial, more so with the advent of sonography providing information about placental aging and amount of amniotic fluid. The aim of the present retrospective study was to analyze the outcome of pregnancies which crossed the expected date of delivery.Methods: The present study was a cross sectional observational study, conducted between April 2018 to September 2018, among 90 cases presented with post dated pregnancy under the department of obstetrics and gynecology, in a tertiary medical teaching institute in Maharashtra.Results: Maximum number of cases, i.e., 22.22% indications were meconium stained liquor with fetal distress, in 18.51% cases indications were failure of induction, in 22.22% indications were nonreactive NST, in 17.61%...

A post-term or prolonged pregnancy is one that reaches 42 weeks' gestation; approximately 5 to 10 percent of pregnancies are post-term. Studies have shown a reduction in the number of pregnancies considered post-term when early ultrasound dating is performed. Maternal and fetal risks increase with gestational age, but the management of otherwise low-risk prolonged pregnancies is controversial. Antenatal surveillance with fetal kick counts, nonstress testing, amniotic fluid index measurement, and biophysical profiles is used, although no data show that monitoring improves outcomes. Studies show a reduction in the rate of cesarean deliveries and possibly in neonatal mortality with a policy of routine labor induction at 41 weeks' gestation.

Background: Prolonged pregnancy is one that exceeds 42 0/7 weeks. Management of prolonged pregnancy is very challenging in modern obstetrics. Methods: It is prospective observational study in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shri B.M Patil medical college and Research center, deemed to be University, Vijayapur, North karnataka. Study period was from January 2018 to January 2019. Results: Total of 186 pregnant women were included in the study. Results in terms of age, gravidity, gestational age, time of induction, mode of delivery, neonatal outcome and maternal complications. Conclusion: Pregnancies beyond 40 weeks require early detection, effective fetal monitoring and proper planning of labour. In pregnancies beyond 40 weeks, decision of induction should be taken cautiously as early induction leads to failure of induction and increased rates of lower (uterine) segment Caesarean section (LSCS), while delayed induction leads to increased fetal complications.

Background: The term delivery is defined as that occurring between 259 and 294 days of pregnancy from the last menstrual period. If the pregnancy exceeds this period, it is called as post term pregnancy. Our center is in rural area where most of the patients are unbooked or even booked patients are also loss of follow up. So, this study was done to know the incidence of prolonged pregnancy and maternal and fetal outcome in case of prolonged pregnancy in our rural population. Methods: This study was a retrospective observational study for 1 year, to analyze the maternal and fetal outcome of post term pregnancies. Data was collected from hospital record and analysed. Results: Out of 5210 total deliveries 1.49 % were beyond 42 wks. 57.69 % patients delivered vaginally whereas 42.3 % patients needed cesarean section. 6.41 % neonates developed meconium aspiration syndrome and 15.38 % of neonates needed NICU admission for different indications. Conclusions: This study concluded that prolonged pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes like fetal distress, meconium aspiration syndrome and more neonatal ICU admissions. The outcome of prolonged pregnancy can be improved by proper counselling for follow up during pregnancy and proper monitoring and appropriate management during labour.

To assess the indications and distribution of cases chosen for termination of pregnancy and reasons delaying until third trimester termination. Retrospective study of cases between 2002 and 2006 in the hospital council. Cases were divided in two groups, as early termination (<23 weeks of gestation) and late termination (≥23 weeks of gestation). All pregnant women who underwent termination were classified according to related systemic pathology and chorionicity. Reasons for delaying until third trimester termination were evaluated in four groups. During this five year period 1.449 complicated pregnancies were counseled and in 713 cases termination was offered. Of 677 cases (94.95%) with termination, 412 cases (60.09%) had early and 265 cases (39.91%) late termination. The most frequent indications were central nervous system abnormalities (51.7%), chromosomal abnormalities (11.7%), and urogenital abnormalities (8.4%). The main reason for delaying termination was failure of screeni...
This double session presents key results of the FWF project "Carolingian Culture in Septimania and Catalonia" (CCSC), which has been led by Matthias M. Tischler (Barcelona) and Walter Pohl (Vienna) since 2020. CCSC focuses on manuscripts with Carolingian textual culture in Septimania and Catalonia since the ninth century, many of which have been identified for the first time, examined in more detail, and placed into the larger European panorama of manuscripts, book cultures, and histories. The two sessions develop two different perspectives on the comprehensive Carolingian cultural transfer to this Mediterranean border society: The first session focuses on the question of which Carolingian authors and works were brought to the region and who was responsible for their dissemination (paper 1), which autochthonous manuscripts from the ninth century can be proven and which cultural network of individuals and communities can be reconstructed from them (paper 2), and how this cultural transfer had a particular impact on the field of historiography (paper 3). The second session then takes a look at the audiences addressed through this cultural transfer by showing how the introduced new liturgy and exegesis confronted Jews, pagans, and Christian heretics with the orthodox Catholic position (paper 4) and how it created a distinguished new religious identity in this world zone (papers 5 and 6). All papers show how one can reconstruct with the aid of manuscripts the human dimension of (inter)religious interactions and the de/construction of identities and thus the networks of cultures and religions in a central Euro-Mediterranean region between the ninth and twelfth centuries.
