Age
The incidence of NCB in ≤ 24 yrs and 24 – 29 yrs age groups were found
higher than those of the NNCB group (***p) (Fig.1). However, there was
no significant difference in the age groups 30-34 yrs (NCB versus NNCB)
and the age group ≥ 35 yrs (NCB versus NNCB). The data indicates that
till 29 yrs of age (younger patients), the chances of NCB are higher
than after 30 yrs. We also noted that with the advancement of age, the
incidence of nuchal cord significantly decreases (≤ 24 versus 25 – 29,
30 – 34, and ≥ 35 yrs) (***p).
