DIFFERENT MATERNAL FACTORS INFLUENCE ON THE BABIES WEIGHT AT TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN WARANGAL, A.P., INDIA

Introduction: Many of the skin lesions observed in a newborn are regarded as physiological, but no sharp line divides the normal from the abnormal. But incidence and prevalence of those conditions is not well known . Aim: To Study incidence skin conditions or lesion in newborns and analyse the effect of maternal factors, events during pregnancy, consanguinity, mode of delivery, maturity & birth weight of newborns. Material and methods: A total no of 1000 neonates were examined from post-natal ward of Tertiary care hospital after taking consent from Parents Conclusion: The commonest manifestation observed was the Mongolian spot, followed by Epstein pearl, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia, erythema toxicum neonatorum, sucking callus, physiological desquamation, miliaria, cutis marmorata.

Maternal Risk

Background & objective: Term low birth weight neonate represents a heavy burden on healthcare services worldwide due to their higher incidence of morbidity and mortality than term normal weight neonates. Certain maternal factors contribute to delivering term low birth weight neonates. This study was designed to identify the proportion of term low birth weight neonates in a tertiary care hospital and their association with maternal risk factors. Methods: This case-control study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka over a period of 15 months between April 2017 to June 2018. Term low birth weight (< 2500 gm) neonates delivered in Obstetrics Ward were taken as cases, while the term normal weight neonates taken from the same place were controls. A total of 80 cases and 140 controls who met the eligibility criteria were consecutively included in the study. The maternal factors (that may contribute to the development of term LBW neonates) studied were demographic characteristics, past and current obstetric histories and medical conditions or disease during the last pregnancy. Results: In the present study the proportion of term LBW was 18.6% (80 out 430). Univariate analysis showed that housewives and short statured mothers carry 4(95% CI = 1.5 – 11.0) and 2.3(95% CI = 1.3 – 4.1) times higher risk of having term LBW neonates respectively. Of the obstetric characteristics, primipara and pregnant women with inadequate number of ANCs (< 4 visits) were more prone to have term LBW neonates with risk of having the condition being 2.0(95% CI = 1.1 – 3.7) and 2.2(95% CI = 1.0 – 4.9) times respectively. ANC visit in the 2nd or 3rd trimester had 4.5(95% CI = 1.0 – 4.9) times higher risk of delivering LBW neonates compared to those who made their 1st visit in the 1st trimester (p < 0.001). Mothers who maintained a narrow birth spacing (< 2 years) had a significantly more term LBW babies with likelihood of having the condition being 3-fold (95% CI = 1.2 – 7.9) higher than those who maintained an adequate birth spacing (p = 0.011). Hypertension during pregnancy tend to be significantly associated with term LBW neonates with odds of having the condition being 5.4(95% CI = 2.7 – 10.8) times greater than the normotensive ones (p < 0.001). However, after adjustment by binary logistic regression analysis, inadequate ANC, 1st ANC visit in 2nd trimester onwards, and maternal hypertension during pregnancy emerged as independent predictors of term LBW with Odds of having the condition being 3.61(95% CI = 0.65 – 20.17), 7.56(95% CI = 1.52 – 37.5) and 3.7(95% CI = 1.8 – 7.9) with significance values being p = 0.032, p = 0.013 and p < 0.001 respectively. Conclusion: The study concluded that the mothers with inadequate ANC and 1st ANC visit made in 2nd or last trimester and hypertension carry much higher risk of delivering term LBW neonates compared to their respective counterparts in the same population.

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a major public health problem which needs to be addressed. The maternal factors play a major role in the child’s weight. The main aim is to identify the risk factors in the mother and appropriately manage so as to reduce the effects on children. Aim was to study the maternal risk factors influencing the weight of the baby in a tertiary care hospital at Pondicherry.Methods: A total of 225 babies were included in the study. Birth weight was recorded within 30 minutes after birth. Mother’s details were collected using a questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 21.Results: A total of 225 babies and their mothers were enrolled in the study where 124 were males and 101 were females. 204 were term and 21 were preterm. Mean age of the mothers was 22.52±3.33 years, mean weight noted was 62.94±10.09 kg and mean height was 160.1±7.15 cm. The study showed associations between birth weight and mother’s age, weight, height, hemoglobin (Hb) %, birth interval, income, bad obstetric history and complications.Conclusions: This study concluded that maternal factors are associated with birth weight owing to mother’s age, weight, height, anemia, birth interval, bad obstetric history with complications and family income. This calls for better management of mothers at the initial stages of pregnancy to reduce LBW and morbidity and mortality. Health education and large-scale awareness programs implementation can reduce and prevent this public health problem.
