Abstract
Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) related obstructed labour requires delivery by cesarean section. Maternal anthropometric parameters as risk factors for CPD have always been a matter of interest and concern for obstetricians. This study aims at showing the relationship between cesarean section indications with maternal socio‐demographic and anthropometric parameters among primigravida. A cross‐sectional study was made among 190 Primigravida with singleton pregnancy at term and vertex presentation. Concerned anthropometric parameters were height, weight and six pelvic distances of pregnant women were measured and correlate with the mode of delivery. Majority of the cases (91.6%) were 21‐25 years of age group, most of them (80.0%) were residing at urban resident. Majority of the women (89.5%) were belong to >145 cm height and most of them (78.4%) cases were normal BMI. Maternal anthropometric parameters like height, Bisacromial Diameter, Intercristal Diameter, Intertrochanteric Diameter and foot length were significantly associated with the CPD in primigravida (p<0.05). 45.3% cases were delivered as LSCS. There was statistically significant association seen between the Height and BMI (P<0.05). Maternal height and other anthropometric measurements are primarily helpful in determining the cephalo‐pelvic disproportion primiparous women.
