Abstract :

Background: Uncovered double pregnancy is unnecessary for the woman and increases perinatal deaths. In 77 percent of patients before birth, twin pregnancy has been examined and usually occurs late, which is regrettable as early treatment for both mum and offspring should be achievable.
Aim: Assessing the prevalence of booked and unbooked pregnancies and neonatal death among pregnant females.
Methods: Descriptive Case Series study was conducted from May 2020 to April 2021 in Pakistan institute Of Medical Sciences, Islamabad. Total 170 patients were selected by non–probability Consecutive sampling.
Results: There were exactly 170 hospitalized patients with double pregnancy, 71 (47%) were aged 19-32. 49(33%) were between 33 and 41 years old, with 32(21%) between 42 and 46 years old. Booked and unbooked patients were recurred individually at 64 (44 percent) and 92 (61 percent). There was 4 (1 percent) prenatal death among booked patients and 58 perinatal mortalities were not reported (39 percent). Perinatal mortality was 22 (25.4% in non-booked patients), whereas perinatal death in 71 was not observed (76.2 percent). Meconium was present primarily as a cause of perinatal mortality in 13(9%), while delivery asphyxia was present secondary reason of perinatal mortality in 7(5%) and neonatal sepsis in 7 (5%) patients.
Conclusion: Sufficient evidence on the advantages of regular prenatal visits should be supplied to patients so that perinatal mortality of twin twins is decreased early after adequate administration in the prenatal period.
Keywords: Perinatal mortality, twin pregnancy, booked cases
