EFFECT OF DATE FRUIT CONSUMPTION IN LATER PREGNANCY ON LENGTH OF GESTATION LABOR AND DELIVERY OF NULLIPAROUS WOMEN

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This randomized, controlled study was conducted at the Gynecology and Obstetrics department of Pak Emirates Military Hospital for Six months duration from Jan 2021 to June 2021. Ethical consent for the study was taken from the Ethical Committee. All participants have signed the written consent. Healthy primigravida's at more than 37 weeks of gestation with no prenatal complications (low-risk pregnancies) or chronic diseases were invited to contribute in the analysis.

The criteria of exclusion included all primigravida and non-primigravida with prenatal problems. Prenatal complications included placenta praevia, rupture of membranes, multiple pregnancies, diabetes, hypertension and additional health problems, fetal abnormalities, fetal growth restriction or any contraindication to delivery by vagina.

The females who met the eligibility criteria were contacted and provided information related to the analysis. In the preliminary phase of contact with potential volunteers, the study was presented as a participant's usage of dates to expedite delivery. The randomization arrangement was performed by means of sealed envelopes numbered from 1 to 10, equally allocated by randomization to the date-consumers and the group of control. Therefore, they will be allocated to dates consumer or control group recipients.
