“…The significant difference in the prevalence rate may be attributed to relatively higher utilization of iron-folic acid supplementation amongst the women in this study, (see table 3) as compared to the women in the above named study [22]. The commonest type of anaemia in our study was mild anaemia (83.9%); 8.7% of the anaemic women had moderate anaemia while 2% had severe anaemia (see table 2), which are comparable with those from Bida, Niger state Nigeria, where mild, moderate and severe anaemia were found to be 91.4%, 6.6% and 2.0% respectively among all women with anaemia [6,7,25].…”

In developing countries such as Nigeria, anaemia in pregnancy is thought to be one of the most common problem affecting pregnant women accounting for a significant level of maternal morbidity and mortality. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy among women visiting Antenatal Clinic (ANC) in Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH). This is a cross sectional descriptive study conducted from August to September, 2015 on two hundred and thirty seven (237) women. A semi-structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to obtain sociodemographic, obstetrics, and nutritional information from the respondent pregnant women who consented at each antenatal clinic days (Mondays and Thursdays). Packed cell volume was used to assess the level of anaemia in accordance to WHO guide lines. The prevalence of anaemia in pregnancy was found to be 43.5%, amongst all women who were anaemic, 83%, 8.7% and 2% were found to have mild, moderate and severe anaemia respectively. However, 0.9%, 35%, 52% of these women were found to be in their first, second and third trimesters respectively. 61% were multi-parous women (para 2-4); 24.3% women had only two antenatal clinic visits, 66.2% women were within the age group of 34-39 years; 89.3% women had been taking balanced diet, while 89.3% women were on their routine drugs; 66.0% women used insecticide treated mosquito net; 66.0% women had taken anti-malarial prophylaxis. Reduced ANC visits and increasing age where significant factors associated with anaemia in pregnancy. Prevalence of anaemia amongst pregnant women in BHUTH was 43.5%. The most common type of anaemia in this study is mild anaemia. However, the prevalence of anaemia was found to predominate amongst women in their third trimester. Increased maternal age and reduced number of antenatal care visits were statistically

“…Separate studies in, Abeokuta, and in Oyo revealed prevalence of 72.5%, and 58% respectively. High prevalence has been likened to low education and economic status [22,23,24,25]. In a study conducted at federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Ebonyi state.…”

“…En el presente estudio se halló asociación significativa entre nivel socioeconómicocultural con la presencia de anemia en gestantes. Noronha, en India, encontró que un estatus socioeconómico bajo se relaciona con la presencia de anemia gestacional (20), además, Nwizu, en Nigeria, demostró que el nivel socio-económico si se encuentra relacionado (21), Owolabi, también en Nigeria, halló una correlación positiva entre estas variables (22), en contraste, Aftab, en Pakistan, no demostró relación entre la presencia de a n e m i a g e s t a c i o n a l y l o s n i v e l e s socioeconómicos (23) y Prakash, en India, no encontró relación entre ninguno de los ítems en su cuestionario socioeconómico y la anemia en gestantes (24). Por ende, decidimos aceptar como correcta el resultado de nuestro estudio.…”

Objetivo. Determinar la asociación entre nivel de conocimiento de anemia, el estado nutricional, nivel socioeconómico – culturales y anemia en gestantes que hayan sido atendidas en establecimientos de salud pertenecientes a la Red Huánuco en el 2018. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional, analítico, transversal, r multicéntrico, de gestantes atendidas en 3 establecimientos pertenecientes a la red Huánuco durante los 3 últimos meses del 2018. Se realizó el análisis de datos mediante el IBM SSPSS versión 23, para determinar las asociaciones entre la anemia y las variables independientes (nivel de conocimiento, estado nutricional y nivel socioeconómico cultural). Resultados. Se evaluaron 278 participantes. Se encontró que mujeres encuestadas el 38,80% tienen alguna clase de educación superior, y 1,40% de mujeres que no tuvieron instrucción alguna. El 80,60% son de procedencia urbana y solo un 9,70% percibe ingresos superiores a la remuneración mínima vital, además, hallamos una prevalencia de 19,40% de anemia. Se encontró asociación entre la anemia y nivel socioeconómico cultural (p=0,016; IC95%) donde la mayoría de las que padecían anemia tienen una categorización por debajo de la media (16,90%). La relación entre anemia y nivel de conocimiento fue significativa (p=0,000; IC95%) siendo que un 11,50% tenían anemia y un nivel de conocimientos inadecuados. Conclusiones. La anemia gestacional en Huánuco está asociados al nivel de conocimientos y nivel socioeconómico – cultural.

“…Similar findings were documented in previous studies [ 28 ] [ 29 ]. Furthermore, several other studies on helminths infection and anaemia on pregnancy outcomes have yielded inconsistent results [ 30 ] [ 31 ] [ 32 ] [ 33 ] [ 34 ] [ 35 ] [ 36 ] [ 37 ] [ 38 ] [ 39 ] [ 40 ] [ 41 ] [ 42 ]. For instance, these findings in this study contrast with 2 previous observational studies [ 41 ] [ 42 ] in which women who received mebendazole or albendazole were compared with those who did not.…”

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that administration of anthelmintic drugs in pregnancy can reduce the incidence of maternal anaemia; however, data on other maternal and perinatal outcomes are limited.AIM:This study was therefore conducted to evaluate the direct impact of mass deworming on delivery and perinatal outcome.MATERIAL AND METHODS:A total of 560 healthy pregnant women in their second trimester were randomised to receive a single dose of oral mebendazole (500 mg) and placebo. Each participant received the standard dose of iron supplement and malaria prophylaxis. They were followed up to delivery and immediate postpartum period to document the possible impact on maternal and perinatal outcomes.RESULTS:The prevalence of anaemia at term, 37 weeks gestation and above, among the treatment arm was 12.6% compared with 29.9% in the placebo arm (p < 0.001). Caesarean section rates was higher in the treated group and the placebo (p = 0.047). There were no statistically significant differences in incidences of postpartum haemorrhage (p = 0.119), Puerperal, pyrexia (p = 0.943), low birth weight (p = 0.556) asphyxia (p = 0.706) and perinatal death (p = 0.621).CONCLUSION:Presumptive deworming during the antenatal period can significantly reduce the incidence of peripartum anaemia. However, more studies may be needed to prove any positive perinatal outcome.
