Analysis of the Risk Factors of IUD After 20 Weeks of Gestation

Fetal loss is a sensitive indicator of maternal care during antenatal period. It directly reflects the obstetrician’s vigilance during pregnancy. This present study was done to determine the risk factors for IUFD. Methods: Prospective study was undertaken at MVJ MC & RH in department of OBG for a period of 2 year (October 2020 – August 2022). All cases with IUFD were included. Results: Out of 2080 deliveries 73 were IUD. In our study PE and eclampsia (32.88%) and abruptio placenta (20.55%). Majority were term gestations (30.13%) and birth weight <2.0 kg (28.76%). 22% of these patients had undergone LSCS and 78% had vaginal delivery. Conclusion: IUDs can be prevented if proper antenatal care was given
