“…In a prospective investigation performed in India, a country considered to have severe maternal anemia, the rate varied between 41% and 55% in the first and third trimesters of gestation, respectively. However, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia was 3.6% and 5.6%, respectively [16]. In Japan, the frequency of maternal anemia in 2011 increased substantially between the first and second trimesters, (4.5% and 44.1%, respectively) [11].…”

“…Therefore, the question is whether maternal anemia is a proxy for iron deficiency anemia [2]. However, there is no consensus regarding this statement [5,7,13,15,16]. Various studies consider iron deficiency an essential condition in the occurrence of maternal anemia, as those studies concluded that most women have iron deficiency during gestation [49].…”

“…That is, iron supplementation might be erroneously recommended by health professionals who are not certain what type of anemia is to be treated in pregnant women [47,52]. Many authors disagree that maternal anemia might be representative of iron deficiency anemia because some studies show discrepancies in the prevalence of both types of anemia [4,6,7,16,21,43]. Such research shows that the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia is, in most investigations, expressly lower than that of maternal anemia [4,6,7,16,21,43].…”

“…While some studies consider hemoglobin level the only diagnostic criterion for iron deficiency anemia, other studies show that the frequency of iron deficiency is lower when diagnosed using both hemoglobin and ferritin levels [5][6][7][13][14][15][16]. Therefore, there is no consensus that maternal anemia has a frequency similar to that of iron deficiency anemia Thus, we aimed to review the main aspects of health-disease-care process of maternal anemia, focusing on the comparison of maternal and iron deficiency anemia.…”

Maternal anemia is a major global public health problem, and although widely discussed, there are few studies investigating the condition in pregnant women. In this article, issues related to the diagnosis, biological mechanism and prevalence of maternal anemia. In addition, iron deficiency anemia will be considered a proxy for maternal anemia. In previous studies, the concepts of maternal anemia have been controversial. It is also noted that isolated actions are not sufficient to combat this disease, and policies to address the primary causes of the associated nutritional deficiencies are necessary. Maternal Search strategiesMesh and similar terms were combined using Boolean operators (AND, OR), and the search strategy below was primarily used for Studies selectionAfter duplicate removal, titles and abstracts were screened for eligible articles independently by two reviewers (ACMGF and SSC). Two reviewers selected articles by reading titles and abstracts. During the process of selecting the articles the researchers were not aware of the decisions made by their colleague. After that, full text articles were assessed for eligibility. Discordant events were resolved by consensus. Data extractionData extraction was performed independently by two researchars (ACMGF and RBS) and discordant events resolved by consensus. We used a standardized electronic spreadsheet to extract the following information: author's name, year of publication, year of data collection and geographic region, study design, sample size, anemia diagnosis criteria, frequency of maternal anemia and iron deficiency anemia. Authors were contacted for additional information considered important for this review.

Twelve Weeks of Reversed Umbilical Flow in a Fetal Growth Restriction Case Associated with Severe Periconceptional Maternal Anemia

We present a case of a patient diagnosed with severe intrauterine growth restriction and periconceptional severe anemia, where the fetal well‐being features, including reversal of umbilical artery end‐diastolic flow and abnormal cerebroplacental ratio, remained stationary for 12 weeks. We are not aware of reports with similar findings, and the professionals should take into consideration the possibility of a “frozen” fetal well‐being for a long time. Possibly, in our case, the evolution may be due to the prompt correction of the chronic severe maternal anemia. This approach may offer the opportunity to prolong the pregnancy, even in cases with apparently imminent delivery, as the association of reversal of umbilical artery end‐diastolic flow.
