Objective: To compare fetal outcome of cases having nuchal cord and those without nuchal cord. Methodology: This is a observational (Analytical study), was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit-IV Fatima Jinnah Medical College/Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore over a period of six months (08-09-2007 to 08-03-2008). 100 pregnant women, 50 with nuchal cord and 50 without nuchal cord were included in study. Data was compiled, transferred and analyzed accordingly through SPSS version 12.0. Results: Majority of the pregnant women belong to the age group i.e., (25-29) from both with and without nuchal cord. Every outcome was alive & healthy in both with or without nuchal cord. So there is no significant difference between the outcome of babies with and without nuchal cord. The results from chi-square suggest there is insignificant association between mode of delivery and groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant difference between the baby outcome having nuchal cord and without nuchal cord.
