Low first‐trimester hemoglobin and low birth weight, preterm birth and small for gestational age newborns

Abstract

Low first-trimester Hb concentration increases the risk of LBW, preterm birth and SGA.

Anemia in pregnancy and its association with pregnancy outcomes in the Arctic Russian town of Monchegorsk, 1973–2002

“…Levy et al, for example, observed that maternal anemia was an independent risk factor for preterm delivery and low birth weight (7). In China, low hemoglobin concentration was associated with increased risk for preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age foetuses and low birth weight (8). Women with anemia had infants who were at higher risk of having a low birth weight and foetal growth restrictions than infants born to non-anemic women (9).…”

Relationship of degree of anemia as direct or indirect causes of heart failure and its impact on maternal and fetal outcome

“…35.41% (17/48) patient who survived develop puerperal sepsis, post-partum hemorrhage, septicemia which necessitates ICU care for these patients. Fetal outcome was also compared with study by Ren et al (2007) which showed increased risk of low birth weight, pre-term and intrauterine growth restriction in patients with low first trimester hemoglobin concentration. 5 Kidanto et al (2009) reported increased incidence of preterm and intrauterine growth restriction with increased degree of severity of anemia, 6 these results were comparable with our study in which most of the preterm ,intra-uterine growth restriction and dead born neonates were seen in patient with severe anemia.…”

Fall in maternal hemoglobin <8 gm/dl were associated with significant rise in perinatal mortality rate, fall in birth weight due to increase in prematurity rate and intrauterine growth restriction.…”

The effect of third trimester maternal hemoglobin levels to fetal weight and the week of birth

“…(19) tarafından yapılan popülasyon temelli başka bir çalışmada ise, ilk trimester Hb düze-yi ile düşük doğum ağırlığı (LBW), preterm ve SGA ilişkisi sorgulanmıştır. Bu çalışmada anemi prevalansı %22,1 olarak bulunmuştur.…”
