Study on utilization of antenatal care and outcome of pregnancy in a medical college & hospital of kolkata wb

• 'Be good to your baby before it is born'.
• This aphorism serves to emphasize the importance
of medical care during pregnancy. The care is so
important because, the fetal organs are actively
developing during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
• The embryo is highly susceptible to external insults
during this time, so that any damage can lead to
crippling birth defects.1

• WHO defines ante natal care as ‘A care which
includes recording medical history,
assessment of individual needs, advice and
guidance on pregnancy and delivery,
screening tests, education on self-care during
pregnancy, identification of conditions
detrimental to health during pregnancy, first-
line management and referral if necessary.’

•So Antenatal care is the systemic medical
supervision of women during pregnancy. It
preserves the physiological aspect of
pregnancy and labor and to prevent or detect,
as early as possible, all that is pathological.1
•The primary aim of antenatal care is to
achieve, at the end of pregnancy, a healthy
mother and baby.

•The quality of care is more important than
the quantity.2
It is the care that mother had
received during pregnancy which included
IFA tablets, TT, blood, urine tests and
ultrasonographic investigations.1
•According to SRS (2012) the IMR is 44 per
1000 live birth which was attributed to
primarily low birth weight, severe anemia,
high birth rate and low spacing4
.

•Low birth weight and preterm deliveries in turn are
related to adolescent pregnancies and short spacing.
The Neonatal mortality rate in West Bengal in 2010
was 24 per 1000 live birth and 19 per 1000 live birth in
urban area.
•The infant mortality rate in West Bengal in 2010 was
32 per 1000 live birth in rural area and 25 per 1000 live
birth in urban area.4
The Maternal mortality rate
(MMR) in West Bengal in 2010 was 212 per 100,00
women of reproductive age group.

•A very important aspect of antenatal
care is to offer information and advice
to women about pregnancy and the
related complications. It also informs
about the care a mother should take for
herself and the possible curative
measures on early detection of
complications and its management.

•Antenatal care also plays a critical role for
preparing a woman and her families for child
birth by establishing confidence, further
antenatal visits raise the awareness about the
need for care during delivery.3
•Most maternal death to pregnancy related
complication can be prevented if pregnant
women have access to good quality antenatal
care & if certain harmful birth practices are
avoided.4

•In West Bengal 51.1% women take more
than 3 antenatal visits, 47% practice
institutional deliveries and 46.6% take 100
IFA tablets.4
•High maternal mortality can also be
reduced by early registration of pregnancy,
taking at least 4 antenatal visits,
prevention and treatment of complications
like – eclampsia, malpresentations,
diabetes and hypertension.

Primary aims of antenatal care-
 To achieve at the end of the pregnancy a healthy mother & a
healthy baby.
To promote, protect & maintain the health of mother during
pregnancy.
To foresee complications & prevent them.
To reduce maternal & infant mortality rate.
To teach the mother elements of child care, nutrition, personal
hygiene, environmental sanitation & family planning.
These can be achieved through a well planned package of
antenatal services provided at different health facilities. The
desired outcome is having a healthy child out of a healthy mother

AIMS & OBJECTIVES
To assess sociodemographic profile of
mother admitted in postnatal ward of
CNMCH.
To find out antenatal care services utilized
by them.
To determine the outcome of pregnancy.
To assess the association of
sociodemographic profile & antenatal care
utilization with the outcome of pregnancy, if
any.

 A descriptive, observational, Cross Sectional study with the title of “THE
UTILIZATION OF ANTE NATAL CARE AND OUTCOME OF PREGNANCY”
had been undertaken on the mothers admitted in the postnatal ward of CNMC&H
from 28th
May to 19th
June, in 2013.
 The objectives of the study were :
 To assess sociodemographic profile of postnatal mother admitted in CNMCH.
 To find out antenatal care services utilized by them.
 To determine the outcome of pregnancy.
 To assess the association of sociodemographic profile & antenatal care
utilization with the outcome of pregnancy, if any.
The data were collected interviewing all the mothers (160) after taking their
informed consent and also by reviewing records.
 Findings of the study were as follows :
 . Majority of the study population were within the age group of 20 to 25 years.

 Majority of study population (50%) were Hindus & belong to rural area(62.5%)
 Most of the study population (53.12%) & their husbands(45.62%) were
educated up to Mid school & primary level.
 Majority of them were home makers &their husbands were unskilled workers.
 Majority were from joint families with poor socioeconomic status
 Majority (68.25%) of the study population are primi Para :
 88.89% of the multipara mothers were pregnant within 3 years of last child
birth.
 Majority (75%) have registered within 12 weeks & 94 % visited Govt.
institution for their antenatal care.

 Majority of study population took 4 or more antenatal visits. Weight & blood
pressure was measured 4 times or more in 64.38% and 60.25% of the study
population respectively:
 42.55 % of study population who had visited <4 times to antenatal care unit
had low birth weight babies .
 57.6% of study population who had registered after 12 weeks had low birth
weight babies
 Most of study population had done investigation of Hb%, ABO grouping, Rh
typing ; whereas in around 50% cases VDRL, HIV, Sugar testing are done . : In
majority of cases USG is done :
 45% subjects had taken ≥100 IFA tablets, while 10% subjects did not take any
tablet Majority of study population has received both TT1 and TT2 or TT booster.
 Most of the mothers were given advices on rest, diet, breast feeding & place of
delivery.

 Only 30% of the study population was given advice regarding contraception &
around 50-60% of the study population were given advices on different danger
signs
 Majority(65%) of the study population have normal birth weight baby & 32% had
low birth weight babies .
 Regarding practice , majority of the population have increased diet & did not
perform any strenuous activity during their pregnancy period
 Adverse outcomes of pregnancy (Low Birth weight-33%, Abortion, Still Birth,
Neonatal death) were quite common in poor & very poor families and among
illiterates and mothers with spacing <3 years from last child.
 51% of mothers who have taken increased diet & 63% of mothers who have not
done any strenuous activity during pregnancy gave birth to babies having normal
birth weight .

Analyzing the data collected during the study it is observed that
outcome of pregnancy is indeed related to ANC taken by the mother during
pregnancy. From the study, it is concluded that –
1. Antenatal Care utilization is not up to the mark (i.e. delayed
registration, <4 ANC visits, <100 IFAs intake), which is seen in
considerable no. of mothers. The outcome of pregnancy also have
shown adverse results in some cases where ANC is not up to the mark.
2. Though majority of the mothers were pregnant within 3 years of last
child birth, it was observed that most of them received 2 doses of TT
instead of Booster dose.
3. Mothers who had good practice during pregnancy have shown better
outcome.
4. SES & literacy level also play an important role in the study as it is
observed that adverse outcomes of pregnancy were more common in
poor and very poor family & among illiterates.

Hence, from the study it is observed that SES of the parents, their
general awareness about the maternal health & ANC utilization – all contribute
to the outcome of pregnancy. So, to improve the total picture, these areas should
be looked upon to be improved.

1)Outcome of pregnancy can be improved by improving educational status of
the mothers.
2)To educate the community by the village level workers like ASHA, AWW
regarding early registration of pregnancy, adequate number of ANC visits.
3)Counseling of mothers in each antenatal visit regarding rest, diet, danger
signs, institutional delivery, taking iron and FA, TT by the Antenatal Care
providers.
4)Counseling on contraception should be done for proper birth spacing.
5)Improvement of the facility for investigations like VDRL, Hep.B, HIV
testing etc. by proper implementation of RCH II Programme.
6)The study can be improved by increasing the sample size & study duration

 The study has following limitations :
1. The sample size was small due to shortage of time.
2. Proper documents were not available.
