The study also aimed to determine the age dependent variations in these parameters in the population. Data was collected from district headquarter hospital, Karak and various clinics from 2015 to 2020. Data was distributed age wise also, linear regression was applied to determine year wise trend in the number of cases from 2015-2020. Percentage of normal delivery in 2015 was 63% which was reduced to 61 percent in 2020. Rate of caesarian section delivery in 2015 was 28% which increased to 30 % in 2020. However, percentage of miscarriage decreased from 6% to 5.5% from 2015 to 2020. Delivery before normal time was also increase from 2.8% to 3.26 percent in head quarter hospital, Karak. Percentage of normal delivery in 2015 was 70% which was reduced to 40 percent in 2020. Rate of caesarian section delivery in 2015 was 23% which increased to 40% in 2020. Similarly, percentage of miscarriage increased from 6% to 12% from 2015 to 2020. Delivery before normal time was also increase from 2.5% to 7.5 percent in clinics.Linear regression showed no significant difference in p value in different age groups except in the age group of 15 to 20 years age. Similarly, R2 value for delivery before time in20-30 years of age was also significantly high. No other groups showed significant R2 trend from 2015-2020. These results suggest that the risk factors related to this increase should be determined in pregnant women for normal healthy delivery. This early data provides basis for more studies to be done in district Karak in order to determine the factors associated with the rise in pregnancy loss and ceasarian section deliveries in district Karak.</p> ER -
