Objectives: LBW is the strong determinant of neonatal morbidity and mortality with a global prevalence of nearly 15%. India's prevalence, though not yet established, ranges from 16-30% and influenced by maternal nutritional status, antenatal care and associated maternal morbidity. Hence, the study was aimed to determine the influencing parameters for occurrence of LBW. Study Design: A retrospective observational study conducted for all live newborns delivered in a tertiary care centre during the study period of twenty four months. Methods: Data from institutional medical record section was recorded on predesigned questionnaire from a total of 1216 newborns. Results: The percentage of LBW was found to be 27.55% (335/1216) with a proportion of LBW to NBW babies was approximately 1:3. The occurrence of LBW was significantly higher in babies of anemic mothers (59.39%, P < 0.0001), young mothers (30.39%, P < 0.01), mothers with parity ≥ 3 (35.71%, P < 0.05), those with <3 ANC check-up (56.88%, P < 0.0001) and those with premature delivery (71.57%, P < 0.0001). Maternal anemia (OR 4.7, 95%CI 3.4-6.7, P < 0.001); ANC with <3 visits (OR 2.2, 95%CI 1.4-3.4, P < 0.01) and prematurity (OR 7.6, 95%CI 5.1-11.2, P < 0.0001) were considered as independent risk factor for LBW. Significant association of neonatal complications was found with LBW babies (OR 1.6, 95%CI 1.1-2.5, P < 0.05). Conclusions: Inadequate antenatal care, maternal anemia and other maternal illness causing premature delivery are considered critical determinants for LBW and thus associated with high neonatal mortality and morbidity. Continued focus for improving the overall maternal health status would lead to lowering burden of LBW.

Background Childhood mortality and morbidity has become a major public health issue in low-middle-income countries. However, evidence suggested that Low birth weight(LBW) is one of the most important risk factors for childhood deaths and disability.This study is designed to estimate the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) in India and to identify maternal correlates associated with LBW. Methods Data has been taken from National Family Health Survey 5 (2019–2021) for analysis. 149,279 women belonging to reproductive age group (15–49) year who had last recent most delivery preceding the NFHS-5 survey. Results Mother's age, female child, birth interval of less than 24 months, their low educational level, low wealth index, rural residence, lack of insurance coverage, women with low BMI, anaemia, and no ANC visits during pregnancy are predictors that contribute to LBW in India. After adjusting for covariates, smoking and alcohol consupmtion is strongly correlated with LBW. Conclusion Mother’s age, educational attainment and socioeconomic status of living has a highly significant with LBW in India. However, consumption of tobacco and cigarrettes are also associated with LBW.

Birth weight of a newborn is an important predictor of its chance of survival and physical and mental growth. The various obstetric, psychological, socio-economic, demographic and maternal morbidity related factors can affect the birth weight. The present study was conducted to nd out the proportion of low birth weight babies among the babies born at tertiary care hospital and to nd out association between various Socio-economic and demographic factors and birth weight. The present cross-sectional study was conducted during the period 1st Dec. 2021 to 31st Jan. 2022 among 390 mothers admitted in post-partum ward after delivery and fulll the inclusion criteria. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were applied for analysis. In the present study, proportion of LBW was 27.4%. LBW percentage was higher among illiterate mothers, mothers engaged in agriculture work, mothers belonged to scheduled caste and lower socio-economic class. LBW percentage was higher among illiterate mothers, mothers engaged in agriculture work and mothers belonged to scheduled caste and lower socio-economic class. The nding of study emphasized on improvement of female education. Higher education status can help in getting better occupation opportunity and in improving the socioeconomic status of the family
