Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Background:Maternalanemiais an important cause of maternalmortalityin developing countries likeIndia. Anemia is also responsible for complications like infections, heart failure, pre term labor,etc as well as adverse fetal outcomes. Prevalence of anemia is different among different socioeconomic backgrounds. Hence this study was conducted to assess the maternal and fetal outcomes in anemic women and to compare these outcomes in women presenting with anemia in first and third trimesters. Methods: 51 pregnant women attending OBG OPD were classified into three equal groups of 17 with first group having non anemic women, 2nd group having women anemic throughout pregnancy and 3rd group with women anemic in 3rd trimester alone. Results:Women presenting with anemia in 1st trimester tend to have lower hemoglobin values and blood indices throughout pregnancy. Moreover, there was significant association between those who had anemia throughout pregnancy and preterm deliveries, lower birth weights and lower APGAR scores. Conclusion:Thus, anemia control measures should start periconceptionally so that women enter the state of pregnancy with adequate iron reserves. An intergenerational approach towards anemia control should hence be adopted for healthier mothers.
