“…Advanced maternal age was statistically associated with anemia during pregnancy. The finding of this study is congruent with the studies done in Ghana and Jijiga [29, 35]. As maternal age increases, the mother may face pregnancy and labour related complications, and other illness which may predispose the mother for anemia.…”

“…The magnitude of anemia in this study is lower as compared with the studies done in Malaysia (33%) [28], Gana (51%) [29], and in Ethiopia: Tigray(36.1%) [30], Nekemte town (52%) [31], Adama (28.1%) [32], Gode town (56.8%)[33], Bisidimo (27.9) [34], Jijiga town (63.8%)[35] and Ilu Abba bora zone (31.5%) [36]. This difference might be due to the study period and the attention given for focused antenatal care and supplementation of iron sulfate throughout the pregnancy.…”

BackgroundAnemia during pregnancy is a common public health problem globally and it defined as the hemoglobin concentration of less than 11 g/dl. Anemia during pregnancy has maternal and perinatal diverse consequences and it increase the risk of maternal and perinatal mortality. The aim of this study is to assess magnitude and factors associated with anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Bench Maji, Keffa and Sheka zones of public hospitals, South west, Ethiopia, 2018.MethodsA cross-sectional study was employed on 1871 pregnant mothers from selected hospitals. All third trimester pregnant women attending antenatal care at Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital, Tepi, Gebretsadik Shawo and Wacha public hospitals were included in the study. Data was entered to Epidata version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify independently associate factors at confidence interval of 95% and significance level of P-value <0.05.ResultThe magnitude of anemia in this study from the total study participant was 356 (19.0%). Among anemic pregnant women, 330 (92.7%), 21(5.9%) and 5(1.4%) were mild anemia, moderate anemia and severe anemia respectively. Age group 20–24 [AOR 6.28(2.40–16.42)], 25–29 [AOR = 6.38 (2.71–15.01)], 30–34 [AOR = 5.13 (2.27–11.58) and age ≥35 years [AOR = 2.53 (1.07–5.98)], educational status (read and write) [AOR 2.06, 95% CI (1.12–3.80)], gestational age(term)[AOR 1.94, 95% CI (1.27–2.96)], Caffeine (coffee and tea) and alcohol use occasionally [AOR 2.01, 95% CI (1.14–3.55)] and [AOR 2.59, 95% CI (1.49–4.52)] respectively, nutritional status (under nutrition) [AOR 3.00, 95% CI (2.22–3.97)] and family size (>6) [AOR 2.66, 95% CI (1.49–4.77)] were factors associated with anemia.ConclusionThe magnitude of anemia found to be high. Age, educational status of the mother, gestational age, caffeine and alcohol use, Nutritional status and family size were factors significantly associated with anemia. To prevent adverse outcome of anemia, health care providers should work on these factors.

“…Participants with family size (joint) [AOR Food and Nutrition Sciences (95% CI) = 1.59 (1.03 -2.45), P = 0.03] were 1.59 times higher risk of anemia than family size nuclear. This finding is similar with a study conducted at Tikur Anbessa Hospital, Ethiopia [32], JigJiga, Eastern Ethiopia [13], and Southern Ethiopia [31]. The large family size is related to anemia among pregnant women could be due to food insecurity [31].…”

“…The current study showed that, the prevalence of anemia was 2.18 times higher at third trimester [AOR (95% CI) = 2.18 (1.40 -3.40), P = 0.001] than first trimester. The study finding was well-matched with other studies conducted at Adigrat General Hospital, Northern Ethiopia [5], Southern Ethiopia [6], JigJiga, Eastern Ethiopia [13], Addis Ababa, Ethiopia [27], Southern Ethiopia [31], and Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa Ethiopia [32]. Pregnant women's birth interval having less than two years [AOR (95% CI) = 2.87 (1.51 -5.44), P = 0.001] were 2.87 times more likely to be anemic compared to those with birth interval more than two years.…”

“…Anemia during pregnancy is a significant public health problem in low-income countries (56%) and developed countries (18%) [2]- [9]. Census and other exploratory studies estimated that anemia currently affecting 1.62 billion people worldwide and among those 56 million pregnant women were found anemic while contributing more than 115,000 maternal and 591,000 postnatal deaths globally every year [6] [10] [11] [12] [13]. Usually, Anemia during pregnancy is defined when the Hemoglobin (Hb) concentration level is <11 g/dl [14].…”

Since anemia is one of the most skyrocketed public health problems worldwide, an investigation has thus been conducted to assess the prevalence and associated factors of anemia among the pregnant women receiving antenatal care (ANC) at Fatima Hospital in Jashore, Bangladesh. Facility-based crosssectional study was carried out among 384 pregnant women at Fatima hospital, Bangladesh from February to April, 2019. Data were obtained using a structured questionnaire and participant's current medical record card. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with anemia and a P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significance. The overall prevalence of anemia among pregnant women was 58.9% (226/384). Out of 226 anemic pregnant mothers, 36.3% (82/226) were mildly anemic, 62.4% (141/226) were moderately anemic and 1.3% (3/384) was severely anemic. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the following variables were significantly associated with anemia: Monthly family income (11,000 -20,000 Taka) [AOR (95% CI) = 0.45 (0.21 -0.98)], Family size (joint) [AOR (95% CI) = 1.59 (1.03 -2.45)], Gestational age (third trimester) [AOR (95% CI) = 2.18 (1.40 -3.40)], birth spacing < 2 years [AOR (95% CI) = 2.87 (1.51 -5.44)], Excessive blood loss during previous surgery (Yes) [AOR (95% CI) = 2.08 (1.14 -4.17)], Food group eaten 24 hours (1 -4 groups) [AOR (95% CI) = 3.43 (1.84 -6.39)], Breakfast regularly (No) [AOR (95% CI) = 3.64 (1.36 -9.75)]. The results obtained showed that the prevalence of anemia among pregnant women is severe at Fatima Hospital in Jashore, Bangladesh.

Introduction: Anemia is characterized by a decline in the number or size of red blood cells and Hb concentration, which results in impairment capacity to transport oxygen. It is a major cause of indirect maternal mortality. Anemia is largely preventable and easily treatable, if detected in time; however, it remains one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. This study aimed to assess factors associated with anemia among pregnant women who attended antenatal care. Methods: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 February 2020 to 2 March 2020 among 420 pregnant women. The data were collected by systematic random sampling technique, entered into a computer using EpiData 3.5, and analyzed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences 23.0 version. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were done to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a CI of 95% and a P-value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant. Frequency tables, figures, and descriptive summaries were used to describe the study variables. Results: The overall prevalence of anemia was 32.9% (95% CI: 28.6–37.4), and it was higher in rural than urban pregnant women (45 vs. 23%), respectively. In multivariable analysis women who are found in the age group of greater than or equal to 30 years (AOR=3.45, 95% CI=1.22–9.78), rural residency (AOR=3.51, 95% CI=1.92–6.42), low family income (AOR=3.10, 95% CI=1.19–8.08), multiparty (AOR=2.91, 95% CI=1.33–6.38), a short interpregnancy gap (AOR 3.32, 95% CI=1.69–6.53), not taking iron and folate (AOR=4.83, 95% CI=2.62–9.90), third trimester of pregnancy (AOR=3.21, 95% CI=1.25–8.25), poor minimum dietary diversity score (AOR=3.54, 95% CI=1.58–7.95), undernourished (AOR=4.9, 95% CI=2.19–7.64), poor knowledge of anemia (AOR=3.19, 95% CI=1.72–5.93), consumption of coffee always after meal per day (AOR=3.24, 95% CI=1.42–7.42), having a history of irregular menstruation, and antepartum hemorrhage were significantly associated with anemia in pregnant women. Conclusion: This study showed that the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women in this study area was a moderate public health problem. The author suggest emphasizing the education and counseling of women on the advantage of taking the supplemented iron and folic acid. Health care providers should have to advise women to stay for at least 2 years before the next pregnancy to reduce the risk of adverse maternal and infant outcomes. Awareness creation in the community on the utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets is also needed.
