Prenatal Diagnostic Screening and Outcomes of the Bangladeshi Urban Pregnant Mothers Living in the Capital City Dhaka
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
The present study was a cross sectional study which aimed at the assessment of the prevalence of prenatal diagnostic screening and outcomes. A total of 1,000 study participants were enrolled. The sampling frame consisted of all pregnant women attending prenatal diagnostic screening at Primary Health Care Services Delivery Project (UPHCSDP), Mirpur-1, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Among the pregnant women 36.9% were in 20-25years age group, 28.7% were in 15-20years age group, 22.1% in 25-30years age group and others. In urban Bangladesh very few diagnostic screening tests are done in respect to modern world’s screening practices and they are Hb, RBS, HBsAg and TPHA from blood; and epithelial and pus cell tests from urine and occasionally ultrasound test. 95.5% participants’ serum were found with less than the standard Hb content and 5.1% were found with higher RBS content. Regarding epithelial and pus cell’s microscopic count of the urine samples 18.2% and 23.4% participants were higher respectively. The serum was tested by ICT method to detect hepatitis B virus infection and syphilis. Screening of the 1000 study participants, whose serum samples were collected and screened only 2.4% for HBsAg and 1.1% for TPHA were positive, with detectable levels of Hepatitis B surface antigen and Tp antibodies against Tp antigen of the syphilis causing bacteria Treponema pallidum. Data compilation and analysis were done as per standard statistical methods by using the software “SPSS”. Prenatal screening for Hb, RBS, epithelial and pus cell will help to maintain fetal and maternal health; Hepatitis B and Treponema pallidum are useful for early intervention and management of vertical Transmission. Escape of appropriate diagnostic screening may risky for fetal and maternal health.
