Abstract Background Rajasthan has been documenting severe anaemia in pregnancy, resulting in low birth weight. Current study was planned to explore potential linkages between exposure to fluoride, anaemia in pregnancy and low birth weight in infant. Methods Antenatal mothers from one fluoride endemic district (FD) and one non-fluoride endemic district (NFD) of western Rajasthan were recruited and followed up till delivery. Data included socio-demographic, lifestyle, diet, medication history. Lab Investigations included Hb, Urinary Fluoride. Results Out of total 1401 women, mean age of women from FD were 23.87 (+ 3.8) yrs and from NFD were 25.53(+ 3.82) yrs. Mean fluoride values in the urine samples of pregnant females were found to be 2.06 (0.0 to 14.4 mg/L) in FD and 1.43 (0.00 to 12.7 mg/L) in NFD. Mean fluoride values in water samples were 0.72 (0.0 to 3.80 mg/L) in FD and 0.21 (0.0 to 2.69 mg/L) in NFD. Mean weight of newborn from FD were 2.92 (+ 0.47) yrs and from NFD were 2.94 (+ 0.56) kg. 22% Newborn in FD and 18% in NFD had low birth weight. Conclusions Infants born in Fluoride endemic area have lower birth weight as compared to non-Fluoride endemic area. Antenatal women in Fluoride endemic areas are more anaemic. Key messages Fluoride endemicity is an important factor to be considered while addressing Anaemia in pregnancy and Low Birth Weight Babies in Western Rajasthan, India.

Objective: To find out the situation and causes of anaemia in pregnant women at MMIMSR during the study period with special reference to the severity of the disease and to find out foetal outcome in pregnant women with anaemia. Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, MMIMSR, Mullana, Ambala(India). The study was carried out between the period of october 2012 to September 2014.A total of 200 cases of moderate and severe anaemia were included in the study on the basis of simple random sampling method and 200 cases of non anaemic subjects were included to serve as controls for the anaemic group, during the study period. Hb gm/dl was taken as criteria for deciding anaemia cases and also to classify them according to the severity. Cases were classified according to WHO criteria. Results: Out of 200 cases of anaemia, 70% were moderately anaemic (Hb 7 – 9.9gm/dl) and 30% were severly anaemic (Hb < 7gm/dl). Microcytic hypochromic type of anaemia (82.5%) was more prevalent suggesting nutritional inadequacies as cause of anaemia. Adverse foetal outcome in the form of preterm birth (17%), still birth (3.5%), low birth weight babies (27.5%), neonatal morbidity (23.3%) was more in the anaemic group than non anaemic controls Conclusion: Anaemia in pregnancy has adverse foetal outcome in the form of decreased birth weight, increased perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Background: Anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder in the world. Maternal anemia has become one of the major health concerns worldwide. It is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as increased rates of maternal and perinatal mortality, premature delivery, low birth weight and certain anomalies. This study was done to find out the correlation between maternal hemoglobin and birth weight and gestational age of newborn at birth.Methods: This is an observational clinical study, which  included 1501 pregnant mother and their newborn babies. All singleton live born babies born were examined. The pregnant women’s lowest recorded hemoglobin measurement during pregnancy is correlated with outcomes of neonatal gestational age and birth weight.Results: Majority of the mothers belonged to lower middle class. 59.4% of the mothers were anemic. 21% of the babies born were preterm and 30% of the babies born were low birth weight.Conclusions: In India, according to WHO 2018 data, anemia in pregnancy is 65-75%. Present study outcome shows, preterm deliveries is 12.1% and low birth weight is 17.8% born to anaemic mothers who were 59.4%. The reduction in percentage of anaemic mothers in current study is due to National health programmes. In future, these programs will help to reduce the incidence of anaemia in pregnancy, which in turn will reduce low birth weight and preterm deliveries.

In general, the most common cause of anaemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency, which arises from maternal-fetal iron transfer, which is often exacerbated by a decrease in maternal iron stores. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pregnancy anaemia is a global health problem that affects almost half of pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to conduct a journal review of explanatory and experimental articles published in the last 5 years starting in 2016 on deficiency anaemia in pregnancy. The research method is carried out by literature study using an electronic reference library through Medline, PubMed, NCBI, Science Direct and Proquest by investigating the impact of anaemia in pregnant women. The results literature from research in various developing and developed countries show that there is an impact that occurs when the mother had anaemia during pregnancy, namely prematurity, low birth weight, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal mortality, cesarean delivery and mental development of children. The conclusion is that there are several effects of anaemia in pregnant women, which are prematurity, low birth weight, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal mortality, cesarean delivery and children's mental development.

Most causes of infant death are problems that occur in newborn/neonatal (0-28 days old), Low Birth Weight Babies (LBW) is one of the factors which has a contribution to infant mortality, especially in the neonatal period. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is a benchmark in determining the degree of public health, both at the National and Provincial levels. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method (KMC) on the prevention of hypothermia in low birth weight infants at Morowali District Hospital in 2019. The type of research used was a quasi-experiment. The population is all low birth weight babies born from May to July 2019. The sample in this study was all newborns with low birth weight born from May to July 2019, totaling 30 babies. There is a difference (influence) on the baby's body temperature before and after KMC with a p-value=0,000. The kangaroo mother care can continue to be affiliated considering its benefits for both infants and mothers, as well as increasing the ability of health workers in conducting KMC so that they can provide in-house training for mothers to be carried out at home.

OBJECTIVES: Neonatal seizures are significant cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Current study was planned to study prevalence of adverse outcomes in neonatal seizures and identify its predictors. METHODS: This observational descriptive study was carried out on 220 neonates with seizures. Neonates who succumbed to illness/ death before investigations, or whose maternal records were incomplete were excluded. Blood sugar, serum calcium, serum electrolytes, and USG skull were done in all patients. CT scan, MRI and inborn errors of metabolism profile were done as and when indicated. Adverse outcomes were defined as death, phenobarbitone non responders, or abnormal examination at discharge. Antenatal, perinatal and neonatal predictors of adverse outcomes in neonatal seizures were evaluated. RESULTS: Out of 220 neonates with seizures 76(34.5%) had adverse outcomes. Very low birth weight babies (≤1500 gm) [OR 1.27(CI 0.57–2.84)], microcephaly [OR 5.93 (CI 0.55–64.41)], Apgar score≤3 at 5 minutes [OR 11.28(CI 14.18–30.45)], seizure onset within 24 hours [OR 5.99(CI 12.43–14.78)], meningitis [OR 2.63(CI 0.08–6.39)], septicemia [OR1.22(CI 0.45–3.31)] and abnormal cranial USG [OR 7.95(CI 12.61–24.22)] were significant predictors of adverse outcomes in neonates with seizures. CONCLUSION: Prematurity, very low birth weight, birth asphyxia, meningitis, septicemia and abnormal USG could predict adverse outcomes in neonatal seizures. Improved antenatal and neonatal clinical practices may help reduce adverse outcomes in these patients.
