Pregnancy disorders in Africa and the obstetric dilemma.

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene - 1 Dec 2016

Nakimuli Annettee, Moffett Ashley

Abstract excerpt

The high neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality associated with the extremes of birth weight is referred to as the obstetric dilemma. Pre-eclampsia and other conditions that lead to low birth weight are considered as the Great Obstetrical Syndromes (GOS). At the other extreme is high birth weight resulting in obstructed labour. Fetal weight largely depends on placental function and defective placentation...
