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).
