Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
The placenta is one organ which forms before the fetus and is the fore runner of the fetal growth from implantation till parturition1 . It persists throughout gestation and leaves the uterus only after the delivery of the fetus. Both the placenta and the fetus are associated with one another from formation of the zygote to the birth of the fetus. Hence both are together known as the feto placental unit. They grow together and also both work in tandem under the influence of many extrinsic and intrinsic factors. There definitely should be a correlation between both and could help measuring the growth of one based on the other. Different ethnicities and different populations2 can present with different proportion of weights and this is an attempt to measure the same in the population of South India. The present study was conducted at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Srikakulam, one of the medical institutes present in the rural areas of North costal Andhra Pradesh, South India. The data was compiled from 100 placentas collected from the department of Gynecologyfrom July 2017 to April 2018 along with the correlated fetal weight from singleton new born, using standard procedures. The weight of the placenta was averaging around 443gms and fetal weights averaging around 2796gms with the feto placental ratios around 6.21. BACKGROUND The correlation between the weight of the placenta at birth3,4,5 and the weight of the neonate at to gestational age has been studied at the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Srikakulam one of the medical institutes present in the rural areas of North costal Andhra Pradesh, South India.
