Background: The WHO defines LBW as “Birth weight less than 2500 grams” regardless of gestational age. Being born with a low birth weight also incurs enormous economic costs, including higher medical expenditures and social service expenses, and decreased productivity in adulthood. Objective: To study distribution of newborns’ according to pregnancy related factors and its association with newborns’ birth weight. Methods: An institutional based cross-sectional study. New-borns delivered at study institute were considered as study participants. Estimated final sample size was 500. Guardians (mothers) were face-to-face interviewed and also recorded data were collected from the case file and Mother and Child Protection Card. Results: Prevalence of LBW newborns was higher in mothers with late ANC registration, <4 ANC visits, chronic medical conditions, infection during pregnancy, PIH, anemia, consuming tobacco, exposure to second hand smoke, LSCS/Assisted delivery, in female newborns’, current pregnancy birth order number more than 2, in pre term newborns’ and mothers with bad obstetric history. Conclusion: Create awareness and adoption of suitable family planning methods. Need to do early (within 12 weeks) ANC registration with minimum four ANC visits for better pregnancy outcome. Effective tracking and suitable intervention provided to improve current pregnancy outcome. Health care professional should pay special attention to high-risk pregnancy. Develop social culture in such a way that females are neither addicted nor exposed to any tobacco containing products in their life.

“…The incidence of LBW in this study was 24%, similar to that reported in other studies with a range of 17-32% (Table 6). [31][32][33][34][35] IUGR was the predominant cause of LBW (57%) in the study as that is prevalent in South Asian Countries. 36 However, in developed countries, preterm births are the most common cause of LBW10.…”

Background: Birth weight is an important predictor of an individual’s survival and well-being and the complications of children born with low birth weight (LBW) continue till adulthood. The incidence and risk factors of LBW are not known in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and research answers can help institute appropriate preventive measures. The aim of the study was to determine the proportion of LBW due to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preterm birth (PTB) and its association with selected factors.Methods: The prospective study was conducted in Andaman and Nicobar Islands Institute of Medical Sciences amongst pregnant women admitted between January-June 2021. Women<18 years, with gestational age<28 weeks, and belonging to tribal groups were excluded. After delivery, birth-weight was recorded to the nearest 10 g in first hour.Results: The incidence of LBW was 24% with 57% due to IUGR. It was significantly higher in recent immigrants, gravidity beyond three, smokeless tobacco uses during pregnancy, high risk pregnancies including multiple miscarriages and preterm deliveries. Five or more antenatal check-ups and > 6 Kg weight gain during pregnancy were protective. Conclusions: Ensuring adequate antenatal check- ups and weight gain during pregnancy, control of tobacco exposure and quality care for women with recurrent abortions and high risk pregnancy is imperative, particularly targeting recent migrants. Strengthening ongoing family planning programmes to increase spacing, identifying pregnancies at risk of preterm deliveries and improved care of premature newborns should be a priority.
