Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to ascertain the prevalence of meconium-stained liquor (MSL) among women at or beyond the expected date of delivery within the Indian population.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of deliveries occurring after 40 weeks between march 2018 and February 2019 was conducted. Data were extracted from labor room registries.
Results: Among the 1000 deliveries at our institute during 2017-2018, 60 (6%) occurred after 40 weeks. MSL was observed in 9 (15%) of these cases. Notably, 87% of women with MSL underwent cesarean section, while 7% underwent instrumental delivery.......
