Objectives: To see perception and knowledge of women about Ramadan fasting and maternal effects of fasting. Methods: The study design was prospective, case-controlled. This study was conducted at Holy Family Hospital from 1st May 2020 to July 2020. Pregnant women with spontaneous conception and singleton pregnancies, who fasted for seven or more days, were cases, and those who did not fast were taken as controls. Questionnaire was filled regarding perception of women about maternal fasting. Primary maternal outcomes included preterm delivery, pregnancy induced hypertension, and gestational diabetes mellitus. The analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16.0. Results: A total of 215 women were included in the study, 123 women fasted, and 92 women did not fast. Only 2.8% of women knew that fasting is forbidden in pregnancy. Sixty five percent of women reported weakness as the main reason for not fasting. The rate of gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and preterm delivery was higher among women who fasted (17% vs 14%, 7% vs 2%, 9% vs 9%) respectively, compared to non-fasting women, but were not found statistically significant. There was no difference in anthropometric measurements of newborn, among both groups. Conclusion: Ramadan fasting does not affect maternal outcomes during pregnancy. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.5.4109 How to cite this:Hossain N, Samuel M, Mughal S, Shafique K.

Objective: To examine the value of the cervical length (CL) measurement at 24-30 gestational weeks in the prediction of spontaneous preterm delivery (SPD) between 30 and 34 weeks (SPD34) and between 34 and 37 weeks (SPD37). Methods: We performed a prospective cross-sectional study. CL was measured once by transvaginal ultrasound examination between 24 and 30 weeks. Results: The study sample consisted of 1,180 low-risk singleton pregnancies. 10 women (0.85%) had a SPD34 and 60 (5.08%) had a SPD37. CL was shorter (p < 0.001) in the women who had a SPD34 (median 11 mm) compared to the women who delivered after 34 weeks (median 31 mm). CL was shorter (p < 0.001) in the women who had a SPD37 (median 22 mm) compared to the women who delivered after 37 weeks (median 31 mm). CL predicted SPD34 (OR = 0.837, R2 = 0.2768, AUC = 0.9406, p < 0.001) and SPD37 (OR = 0.907, R2 = 0.1085, AUC = 0.7584, p < 0.001). The model achieved a sensitivity of 70.0 and 38.3% for 10% false-positive rate for SPD34 and SPD37, respectively. Conclusions: CL after 24 weeks is significantly shorter in women destined to have a SPD. In low-risk singleton pregnancies CL performs very well in predicting SPD34 and adequately in predicting SPD37.

Singleton Pregnancies

Objective: A short cervix during pregnancy indicates a higher risk of preterm delivery. Transvaginal sonography is widely used for the detection of a short cervix. The literature indicates that 21–24 weeks is the most sensitive gestational age to assess transvaginal cervical length (TV CL) of ≤2.5 cm for potential preterm delivery. Pregnancies between 18 and 20 weeks’ gestation are generally performed transabdominally; thus, it could be beneficial to have a recognized correlation between the transabdominal cervical length (TA CL) measurement and the TV CL measurement at this earlier time period. Materials and Methods: An online database search produced 13 research articles to be reviewed. Inclusion criteria consisted of TA CL and TV CL assessment of singleton pregnancies with intact membranes. Results: Findings indicate high diagnostic yield when a TA CL of <2.9 cm or TV CL of <2.5 cm is used for defining a shortened cervix when measured between 18 and 20 weeks’ gestation. Conclusion: This review of the literature indicates a correlation between average TA CL and average TV CL measurements, although the relationship widens as CLs become shorter.
