Effects Of Preeclampsia And Intrauterine Growth Restriction On Morphology Of Placenta And Birth Weight Of Fetus In Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital Addis Ababa Ethiopia.

Background: The placenta is a unique characteristic of higher mammals that develops in thernuterus during pregnancy. It is connected with the fetus through the umbilical cord. Preeclampsiarn(PE) and Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) influence the normal function of the placentarnwhich in turn affects the birth weight of the fetus.rnObjective: To comparethe Effects of Preeclampsia and IUGR on Morphology of Placenta andrnBirth Weight of Fetus in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital from May 2019 to June 2019. rnMethod:A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 54 pregnant women consistingrnof 22 mothers with PE, 10 with IUGR, and 22 without any complication. Maternal, fetal, andrnplacental data were recorded after delivery. The micro/macroarchitecture of the placenta wasrnexamined by inspection, measuring and microscopically. The data were entered using EPI datarnversion 4.2.0 and analyzed by SPSS version 21. One way ANOVA was performed to comparernthe mean differences of the placenta and the newborn’s weight across the groups. P values lessrnthan 0.05 were assumed as statistically significant.rnResults: The findings showed that placental weight was 485.45gm in the normotensive,rn422.27gm in the PE, and 328.00gm in IUGR groups (p
