Objective: To prove the association of iron deficiency anemia, cystitis, and bacterial vaginosis as risk factors for preterm labor.Methods: This study was an observational case-control study conducted at the Polyclinic and IRD of Obstetrics and Gynecology Sanglah Denpasar General Hospital Center between September and December 2015. The sample selection was done by consecutive sampling with total sample as many as 35 case samples (women with preterm pregnancy) and 35 control samples (women with aterm pregnancy).Results: Pregnant mothers with iron deficiency anemia had 4 fold increased risk of developing preterm labor (OR = 4.04, 95% CI = 1.15 to 14.16, p = 0.023) compared to those without iron deficiency anemia. Pregnant mothers with cystitis had 4 fold increased risk of preterm labor (OR = 4.00, 95% CI = 1.25 to 12.80, p = 0.016) compared to those without cystitis. Pregnant mothers with bacterial vaginosis had 3 fold increased risk of preterm frequency (OR = 3.24, 95% CI = 1.22 to 8.63, p = 0.017) compared to those without bacterial vaginosis.Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia, cystitis, and bacterial vaginosis increase the risk for developing preterm labor.[Indones J Obstet Gynecol 2017; 5-2: 73-76]Keywords: bacterial vaginosis, cystitis, iron deficiency anemia, preterm labor

Pregnant women are particularly considered to be the most vulnerable groupbecause of the additional demands that are made on maternal stores during pregnancy. Theiron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency problems in females and isresponsible of high maternal death rate in our society. Objectives: To determine the relationshipof frequency and severity of iron deficiency anemia to preterm labor and eventual perinatalout come in anemic patients. Study Design: It was a case control study. Study Setting: InObstetrics and Gynecology Unit-III, Sir Ganga Ram hospital, Lahore from July 2012 to June2013. Methodology: The study was conducted on 200 patients (100 cases and 100 controls)were studied. Cases were patients admitted in labor room with preterm labor and Controlswere females in labor at term at. Convenience sampling was done. On admission relevanthistory taking examination and investigation were done. The data was collected on a Performa.Results: There were 50 patients with anemia amongst the patients with preterm labor. In thecontrol group, 40 patients were suffering from anemia. In the patients with preterm labor themean hemoglobin was 9.83 grams/deciliter. In the control group the mean hemoglobin was10.3gm/dl. (Pregnant women having hemoglobin <10gm/dl are considered to be anemic). Theodds ratio was calculated to be 3.4 and P value was <0.05. Conclusions: Iron deficiencyanemia was associated with increased risk for low birth weight, preterm delivery, and perinatalmortality. The frequency of iron-deficiency anemia was seen in both groups of pregnant women.

Pregnant women are at risk for iron deficiency anemia especially pregnant women in malaria-endemic areas. This study aimed to analyze the profile of iron in the third trimester pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in co-endemic area of Bengkulu city. This study was cross-sectional study with a total sample of 66 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria. Examination profile of iron in pregnant women is done by taking blood specimen through the vena cubity. Profile iron includes examination sTfR levels, hepcidin, transferrin were examined by ELISA. Determination of iron deficiency anemia is based on the results of Hb, serum iron and TIBC. The results showed 39.4% of pregnant women experience iron deficiency anemia. There is an average difference between hepcidin levels with the incidence of iron deficiency anemia (p-value 0.031). Based on binary logistic regression analysis profile iron with irondeficiency anemia in pregnant women, hepcidin levels are predictors factors on the incidence of iron deficiency anemia (p-value 0.000, 95% CI .296-.709).

Plummer-Vinson syndrome (PVS), also called "Paterson-Brown-Kelly syndrome“, is a rare medical syndrome generally affecting middle-aged women. Iron deficiency anemia is the prime etiological factor and other probable factors include malnutrition, genetic predisposition, or autoimmune processes characterized by three distinctive features: iron deficiency anemia, dysphagia, and esophageal web. The dysphagia is generally painless and intermittent or progressive over years, restricted to solids, and associated with weight loss. The exact pathogenesis of PVS is still indistinguishable, but it is interconnected with iron deficiency anemia. Plummer-Vinson syndrome, if left untreated, carries an increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma of the upper alimentary tract.In this case report, a 40-year-old female patient presented long-standing dysphagia for months, which progressively developed to postcricoid squamous cell carcinoma by the time she approached to medical treatment. Diagnosis was confirmed through laboratory tests, showing iron deficiency anemia and whole-body positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) presenting squamous cell carcinoma in postcricoid region (hypopharynx).

Prevalence Of Anemia

Background and Objective: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of micronutrient deficiency in the world. Numerous reports indicated that adolescence is a period which has an increased risk of development of IDA. Given the importance of IDA and lack of studies in Saravan, a city of Iran, this study was performed to assess the prevalence of IDA among adolescent girls.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 460 high-school girls were randomly selected. Demographic data was collected using a questionnaire. Knowledge, attitude and practice of participants with regard to iron deficiency anemia was measured at the beginning of the interview. Accordingly, five cc of blood sample was drawn from each student to determine the prevalence of anemia, which was defined by a hemoglobin level lower than 12 mg / dL. The level of ferritin was analyzed to confirm the IDA for students diagnosed with anemia. Ferritin level lower than 12 ?g / dl was considered as IDA. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 22.Results: Prevalence of anemia and IDA was 24% (n = 111) and 12.6% (n = 58), respectively. Results showed that 37 % of students had good knowledge, 45. 5 % good attitude, and 6.7 % had good practice. Also, there was no significant association between IDA and socio-economic status including parental education, job, and household income (P>0.05).Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that the prevalence of IDA was moderate in Saravan city. Given the importance of IDA and its complications, further studies are needed, especially in high risk populations for IDA such as children.

Abstract Background Iron deficiency anemia and dental caries are among the most prevalent diseases in some developing countries. However, few studies have been conducted to assess the association between Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and early childhood caries (ECC). Objectives The aim of the study was to assess the association between IDA and ECC. Methods 40 children with proved iron deficiency anemia (using iron profile panel done initially) and another 40 healthy age and sex-matched children were examined by one trained and calibrated dentist where the oral status of all enrolled children was assessed in terms of the Decayed, Missing, Filled (DMF) index and gingival health using Gingival index of Loe and Sillness. Results Children with anemia had a significantly higher DMF index (4.37±4.44) than children without anemia (0.50±0.90) (P &lt; 0.001). It was found that there was a negative significant correlation between DMF index and the presence of anemia (r= -0.60, P &lt; 0.001), hemoglobin level (r= -0.454, P &lt; 0.001) and MCH level (r= -0.380, P = 0.001). The multiple regression model statistically significantly predicted DMF index (P = 0.001), (R2=0.34) and only the presence of anemia was found to add significantly to the model (P = 0.027). Conclusion Children with iron deficiency anemia have increased risk for development of dental caries than children without anemia. Any children with significant dental caries should be investigated for IDA and anemia should be treated if present.
