Abstract:
Background: Early marriage is a long established custom in India. In spite of the legislations prohibiting early marriages, the prevalence of child marriages in our country is 30.2%, with the highest prevalence in Rajasthan (35.4%) and lowest in Himachal Pradesh (0.5%).Thus, this study was undertaken to study the prevalence, determinants and impact of early marriage on the mother and her newborn in an urban area of Davangere. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 6 months in the Urban Family Welfare Centre, Doddapete. A total of 900 mothers were interviewed with the help of pre- designed and semi-structured questionnaire after taking informed consent. Results: The prevalence of child marriage in the present study was found to be 13% with 81% mothers belonging to lower socio- economic status and 77% belonging to Muslim religion. Most (62%) mothers married before the age of 18 years due to economic reasons. 54% of the mothers who married before the age of 18 years faced complications during delivery. 6% of the mothers married before the age of 18 years gave birth to low birth weight babies. Conclusions: The literacy and socio-economic status of the mother and her parents was observed as a major determinant in deciding the age at marriage. In spite of the prevailing religious traditions and socio-cultural influences that promote child marriage, an attempt should be made to educate the community regarding the medical and legal aspects of early marriage.

Abstract:
Context: Obstetric fistula is a serious obstetric and social morbidity among women. Reliable data on incidence and prevalence of obstetric fistula are not available. Aims: The present study attempted to measure the prevalence of obstetric fistula and evaluate factors associated with it. Settings and design: Study was conducted in Rajasthan, India. The cross-sectional data were used for estimation of prevalence of obstetric fistula, while the case comparison design was used to identify the risk factors associated with obstetric fistula. Methods and material: A cross-sectional population-based district level survey covered 41,448 ever married women of age group 15–49 years in 40,052 randomly selected households. Statistical analysis used: To explore association between various identified demographic, social, economic, service delivery and utilization variables and obstetric fistula, simple and multivariate logistic regression was performed. Results: The estimated prevalence of obstetric fistula was 4 per 1,000 women. About 85 per cent of the women with fistula were married below 18 years of age, and 48 per cent gave birth to the first child before 20 years of age. The risk of developing obstetric fistula was more than twice among women who experienced obstructed labour, the adjusted odds ratio being 2.21 (95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.12 −4.80). Conclusions: Obstructed labour was most prominent obstetric risk factor for obstetric fistula. The other risk factors were early marriage and early child birth. Ironically, obstetric fistula is preventable by improving quality of maternal care and effective emergency obstetric care. Education and communication can play an important role in postponement of early marriages and early child birth.

Abstract:
Mortality associated with complications of pregnancy and childbirth remains disproportionately high in the developing world. This paper reports on a study into the reasons for the poor uptake of referrals to specialist medical units in a group of 276 women in a rural area in the state of Rajasthan, India. Of the 276 cases that were referred, 242 (88%) of the women failed to attend for specialist consultation. In-depth personal interviews were conducted and a series of focus group discussions was held with the women and with their spouses and spouses' mothers. A range of geographic, cultural, socio–economic and medico–administrative factors was identified as influencing decisions to attend referral units. Recommendations for improving uptake include improving facilities at referral units, providing additional training for healthcare staff (covering technical, managerial and behavioural aspects) and in counselling techniques, a better defined role for traditional birth attendants, improved understanding of the mother's needs by her family (particularly the spouse and his mother) and increasing public awareness of the importance of referral. Finally, there is the requirement that women are encouraged to realize and understand their own needs.

Abstract:
Objectives Official data on birth is important to monitor the specific targets of SDGs. About 2.7 million children under age five years do not have official birth registration document in India. Unavailability of birth registration document may deprive the children from access to government-aided essential services such as fixed years of formal education, healthcare, and legal protection. This study examines the effect of socioeconomic, demographic and health care factors on birth registration in India. We also examined the spatial pattern of completeness of birth registration that could be useful for district level intervention. Methods We used data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4), 2015–16. We carried out the descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis. Besides, we used multilevel binary logistic regression to identify significant covariates of birth registration at the individual, district, and state levels. We used GIS software to do spatial mapping of completeness of birth registration at district level. Results The birth registration level was lower than national average (80.21%) in the 254 districts. In Uttar Pradesh, 12 out of 71 districts recorded lower than 50% birth registration. Also, some districts from Arunachal Pradesh, J&K, and Rajasthan recorded lower than 50% birth registration. We also found a lower proportion of children are registered among children of birth order three and above (62.83%) and rural resident (76.62%). Children of mothers with no formal education, no media exposure, poorest wealth quintile, OBC and muslims religion have lower level of birth registration. Multilevel regression result showed 25 percent variation in birth registration lie between states while the remaining 75 percent variation lie within states. Moreover, children among illiterate mother (AOR = 0.57, CI [0.54, 0.61], p<0.001), Muslims households (AOR = 0.90, CI [0.87, 0.94], p<0.001), and poorest wealth quintile (AOR = 0.38, CI [0.36, 0.41], p<0.001) showed lower odds for child’s birth registration. Conclusion We strongly suggest linking the birth registration facilities with health institutions.

Abstract:
Background: The SDG-3 goal suggests to reduce the neonatal mortality to below 12 per 1000 live births. New-born who are breastfed after 1 hour of birth are at 33% greater risk of neonatal mortality. To ascertain early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) knowledge, practices and its underlying determinants, a cross-sectional study was conducted with mothers of children below 3 years of age.Methods: Sample of 400 mothers of children under 3 years of age was collected. The data was analysed using statistical software SPSS version 23.0. All characteristics were summarized descriptively. Chi-square (χ2) test was performed to study the association between two categorical variables. Multivariable analysis was done using logistic regression model to determine the association of EIBF with socio-demographic and maternal factors. Results: 75.8% mothers initiated early breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth whereas only 34.3% mothers had knowledge on early initiation of breastfeeding. 95% mothers fed colostrum to the new-born. Mothers with 25 years of age or more (AOR 1, 95% CI 0.52, 1.57; p value <0.73) were less likely to breastfeed new-born within 1 hour of birth as compared to the mothers who were <25 years of age.Conclusions: Timely initiation of breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth is a critical intervention to avert a considerable number of neonatal deaths to achieve SDG-3 goal, which to reduce neonatal mortality rate <12 per 1000 livebirths. after delivery could sustain the breastfeeding practice for lo. Intensifying home visits in 3rd trimester to disseminate messages on EIBF and colostrum feeding may improve the coverage of EIBF.

Abstract:
Background: Brachial plexus injury (BPI) has prevalence of between 0.5 and 4.4/1000 live births. It is commonly believed to be attributed to extensive lateral traction during difficult neck delivery. This paper aims to look at one aspect of birth injuries, Erb-Duchenne palsy, its incidence and contributing factors.Methods: All infants sustaining Erb-Duchenne palsy during birth were identified at Department of OBGY, NIMS Hospital, Jaipur. The notes of the infants and mothers were reviewed. Special attention was given to the known risk factors for birth trauma such as ethnicity, parity, antenatal care, history of diabetes etc.Results: During the two-year period 2013 to 2015, there were 6 infants diagnosed with Erb-Duchenne palsy, giving an incidence of 0.79 in 1000 live births. Out of six, four were primigravidae. All pregnancies were singleton, cephalic/vertex undergoing vaginal deliveries; none required forceps or ventouse deliveries. The mean infant birthweight was 4.378 kg with a median value of 4.48 kg (range 3.51-4.78). Four infants were classified as macrosomic i.e. birthweights greater than 4 kg, four infants had birthweights of 4 kg to 5 kg; none weighed over 5 kg. Three of the deliveries were documented as difficult shoulder delivery/shoulder dystocia. Five of the infants had APGAR scores that were less than seven.Conclusions: This study suggested that Erb-Duchenne palsy is strongly associated with fetal macrosomia and shoulder dystocia. Diabetes was not significant in causing macrosomia as only single mother was found diabetic. Fetal macrosomia contributed to shoulder dystocia in the majority of cases.

Abstract:
Learning outcomes The learning outcomes are as follows: to understand the cultural and ethical dimensions revolving around the issue of female feticide; to apply the lens of institutional theory with respective change management measures; and to analyze and evaluate the impact of such intervention programs such as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao in the context of emerging economies such as India. Case overview/synopsis This case attempts to highlight the innovative and effective governance approach by the Government of Rajasthan (India) and, in particular, the State Health Assurance Agency to curb the menace of female feticide and the rising cases of abortion and sex determination in an attempt to favor a male child. The case concentrates on mainly three dimensions of Indian societal ecosystem, namely, the grave concern of preference of male child over female child leading to widespread cases of female feticide in different states in India with specific focus on the state of Rajasthan; the role of cultural dimension which primarily drives such preferential treatment in rural and urban areas in India; and the importance of using effective policy measures in monitoring various activities, introduction of incentive schemes to patients for preventing sex determination and promoting the birth of female child.

Abstract:
Introduction: To achieve MDG4 (Millennium Developmental Goals-4), a substantial reduction inearly neonatal deaths will be required. The first steps in improving early neonatal survival are todocument the number and rate of deaths and identify their common causes. As per the NationalFamily Health Survey-3 report, the current neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in India is 39 per 1000 livebirths, neonatal deaths account for nearly 77% of all infant deaths (57/1000) and nearly half ofunder-five child deaths (74/1000). This study was undertaken to study the disease pattern andoutcome of neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a tertiary care teachinghospital located in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Material and methods: The age, sex, gestational age, andmorbidity and mortality profile of all NICU admissions in 5 years was determined and the differencebetween Inborn (those born in the Teaching Hospital) and Out born was calculated. Morbidity riskfactors to reduce NMR in Udaipur were determined. Results: A total of 2648 neonates wereadmitted to NICU during the study period, out of which none were excluded from the study. Theratio of Male to Female admitted was 1.30:1. The major causes of morbidity were MeconiumAspiration Syndrome (16.16%), Respiratory Distress Syndrome(10.12%), Cong. HeartDefects(8.76%), Neonatal Sepsis(4.83%) and Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy(5.66%). In thisstudy, the overall mortality rate was 9.96%. Most of the Deaths were due to MAS(25.75%),RDS(15.90%), Neonatal Sepsis(10.22%), and HIE(12.87%). Neonates with birth weight <1000ghad poor outcomes compared to neonates with birth weight >2500g. Conclusion: This studyidentified Prematurity, Extremely low birth weight, MAS, and Neonatal Sepsis as major causes ofMorbidity and MAS, RDS as the major contributors to neonatal mortality. Improving antenatal care,maternal health, and timely referral of high-risk cases to tertiary care hospitals will help to improveneonatal outcomes.

Abstract:
Background: India having 3rd highest incidence of low birth weight (LBW) infants (28%) in the world. Majority of deliveries in our country are conducted at home by untrained traditional birth attendants or relatives, so it is not possible for untrained birth attenders to operate weighing machine in rural areas, therefore to find an alternative method for the estimation of low birth weight we used simple anthropometric indicators like calf circumference which is easily used by rural communities.Methods: It was a Cross-sectional study done at tertiary care center, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India during 1 year period in 2018. 150 neonates without any congenital malformation delivered at hospital irrespective of gestational age were subjected to anthropometric measurements. The different anthropometric measurements like calf circumference, chest circumference were used and data was analyzed by using Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC) to find out the cut-off values with the highest sensitivity and specificity for birth weight <2500gm and <1800gm. For comparison Pearson's Correlation coefficients was used.Results: From different anthropometric measurements, calf circumference of 9.38 cm and 7.90cm had higher sensitivity and specificity in detecting birth weight babies of <2500gm, and <1800gm respectively. The best correlation was observed in calf circumference (r=0.989) and (r=0.990) for identifying babies with birth weight group 1.21-1.80kg and group 1.81-2.50kg.Conclusions: In the absence of a weighing machine, simple measurements like calf circumference is the best indicator in identifying low birth weight babies.

Abstract:
In India, globalized flows of bio-medical discourse, practices and technologies are reshaping the field of reproductive healthcare, and the performance of childbirth more specifically. These projects aim to produce institutional delivery rooms that are "safe and modernized" by equating the utilization of westernized, obstetric techniques for managing delivery with better birth outcomes. Yet, these projects often evoke dynamic tensions between the imagined labor rooms NGOs seek to produce and the lived realties of labor in a local context. In this thesis, I examine the ways NGOs market and disseminate state and global discourses around safe, institutional delivers to local communities through a case study of one NGO working in rural southern Rajasthan. Drawing on data from participant observation and in-depth, semi-structured interviews with NGO staff and skilled-birth attendants employed by community health centers, I argue that at the interface of NGO, state, and global relations of power, a commodified discourse in the form of Evidenced-based Delivery (EBD) practices is emerging. This discourse is marketed through a political economy of hope that promotes EBDs as essential for safe delivery. In this system, NGOs function as conduits for transmitting idealized notions of the safe and modern delivery room, and thereby affect a shift in what skilled-birth attendants and communities come to expect from their childbirth experiences -- expectations that I argue are often difficult to meet given current training levels, limited economic resources, and a diverse set of cultural values around childbirth. My findings indicate that while Evidence-based Delivery practices may improve birth outcomes in some contexts, in the delivery rooms of rural Rajasthan, they are functioning essentially as technologies that capitalize on the political economy of hope by evoking the medical imaginary.

Abstract:
This chapter has been divided into separate sections under different heads. It is observed how ceremonies and rituals of marriage helped in maintaining the caste identity of the families. The authority and superiority of a particular caste could be demonstrated through these ceremonies and rituals. Under the sub-heading of ‘Marriage, Customs and Practices in Medieval Rajasthan’ the significance of the engagement ceremony including notions of honour attached thereto, and the age of marriage which varied considerably depending on time period and caste has been appraised. The concept of Stridhan and dowry has been dealt with in the sub-section of dowry. An attempt has been made to understand the complexity of the marriage gift in its historical perspective. The changes that have occurred in the concept of dowry are also analysed. Hypergamy, polygamy and concubinage also form part of this chapter.
