Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 9
Abstract
Maternal health has a profound influence on the intrauterine growth of the foetus. Anaemia in pregnancy is defined as a condition of low circulating haemoglobin in which the haemoglobin concentration has fallen below a threshold lying at two standard deviations below the median of a healthy population of the same age, sex and stage of pregnancy. Anaemia is the commonest medical disorder in pregnancy which has been shown to be associated with a two-fold risk for preterm delivery and a three-fold risk for low birth-weight as well as maternal mortality. The present study conducted on 400 cases of women attending labour room of S. C. B. Medical College, Cuttack (Orissa), to analyse distribution of maternal anaemia with respect to gestational age showed maximum cases of maternal anaemia between 37 – 40 wks of gestational age and also indicated that as gestational age increases the prevalence of anaemia is decreasing in this study.
