“…It is proved that heart disease due to rheumatic aetiology is the most common cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in developing nations [9] while its incidence has been decreasing in the developed world. The mean maternal age (29.89+6.42), which this study described, is similar to what was observed in Iran, but higher than that in India and Australia [8,10,11]. Cardiac disease with pregnancy is relatively common in Sudan.…”

Data was collected prospectively during the period of May 2011-through December 2012 at Khartoum Teaching Hospital from 75 pregnant women with heart diseases to investigate the epidemiology of cardiac disease in pregnancy. Means and proportions were calculated using student and X 2 test, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed, confidence intervals of 95% were calculated and P<0.05 was considered significant. With regard to classification of the cardiac disease, 60%, 26.7% and 13.3% was rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease and other acquired heart disease respectively.Ten cases were ended with therapeutic and spontaneous miscarriage and 65 cases reached viability. The reported medical problems that complicated the pregnancy of our patients included: congestive heart failure (14/75, 18.6%), arrhythmias (6/75, 8%), pulmonary embolism (4/75, 5.3%) and pulmonary oedema (2/75, 2.6%). There were two cases of maternal mortality (2.7%). In this study maternal cardiac complication were more common among women with past medical history of cardiac complication (OR=1.

“…A systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the prevalence of anemia in Iran at 17.9% (9). Additionally, the prevalence of anemia was reported as 44% in Golestan city (7), 17% in Bandar Abbas (10), and 14% in Tehran (11). In another study involving 2 993 pregnant Iranian women from six provinces, the overall prevalence of anemia was reported as 21.6% (12).…”

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and anemia are significant disorders that occur during pregnancy, potentially leading to severe complications. Objectives: This study explored the prevalence of urinary tract infections and anemia, along with their associated factors, among pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted with 700 pregnant women attending clinics in Khash, Iran, in 2022. A self-administered questionnaire collected data on the socio-demographic and clinical factors of these women. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square test in SPSS software, version 22. Multiple logistic regression models were used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The prevalence rates of anemia and urinary tract infections were 63.6% (95% CI: 59.8 - 67.1) and 49% (95% CI: 45.2 - 52.7), respectively. Significant associations were observed between anemia and the number of medical care visits, smoking status, the use of iron and folic acid supplements, history of abortion, and thalassemia (P-value < 0.05). Additionally, income level, previous history of urinary tract infections, education level, and syphilis were significantly associated with UTIs among pregnant women (P-value < 0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence rates of anemia and UTIs among pregnant women are high. Consequently, standard antenatal care services, as recommended for the early identification of risk factors, should be emphasized by the Ministry of Health and its stakeholders to mitigate the high prevalence of anemia and UTIs during pregnancy and their associated complications.
