Abstract: The efforts of decreasing the infant mortality is focused on the causes of infant’s death. One of them  is the lowest Birth Weight that can be prevented through a quality and comprehensive antenatal care. The factors that affect the occurrence of low birth weight (LBW) in Singkawang city is age, parity, range of pregnancy, arm circumference, antenatal care, anemia history, newborn weight. The objective study was to determine the factors that affect the occurrence of LBW in Singkawang in 2015. This research employed analytical survey research design with retrospectively approach with cross sectional design. The sample used is the case of newborn with LBW as many as 105 with a ratio of 1: 1 with a total sample of 210 babies. The sample was random sampling. The data analysis used Chi Square and logistic regression test. Chi Square test results showed that there was a significant relationship between age, arm circumference, antenatal care of anemia (p = 0.005, p = 0.013, p = 0.020, p = 0.003) with the incidence of LBW. And there was no significant correlation between parity and range of pregnancy (p = 0.805, p = 0.766). This research is expected to be the basis of evaluating the occurrence of LBW thus it can be detected earlier.Keywords: Age; Parity; Antenatal Care; Arm Circumference; Anemia history; Lowest Birt Weight.

Birth weight is one factor of neonates that can cause asphyxia neonatorum and is one indicator ofthe health of the newborn. The result of Riskesdas 2013 explained the low birth weight infants is 10.2% and WHO data shows every year about 3% of 120 million newborn have asphyxia. This study aims to analyze the correlation of low birth weight infants with neonatorum asphyxia incidence in dr. Iskak Tulungagung Hospital year 2016. This study was executed on July 18 to 19 2017 in dr.Iskak Tulungagung Hospital. The type research used analytical survey with correlational design and retrospective cohort study. Independent variable was low birth weight infants and dependent variable was neonatorum asphyxia. The population was 949 and sample was 162 with Simple Random Sampling technique, and used medical record instruments. From the 162 samples, found that almost half of respondents were 46.9% experienced low birth weight infants and almost all of the respondents were 88.3% experienced asphyxia neonatorum. Based on chi square test obtained (p)=0.001<(α)=0,05 and C=0,257, it means there is significant correlation between low birth weight infants and asphyxia with low correlation neonatorum. Odds ratio is 9,116, it means that risk of asphyxia neonatorum at low birth weight infants is 9.116 times great than normal birth weight infant. At the low birth weight infants a lot of risk of problems in the body because immaturity of organ system, so easily attacked by complications such as an asphyxia neonatorum.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate possible adverse reproductive outcomes in an area adjacent to a petrochemical plant in southern Brazil. METHODS: A review of 17,113 birth records of the main hospital of the municipality of Montenegro, southern Brazil, from 1983 to 1998 was carried out. Three groups of cases were selected: (1) newborns with major congenital malformations; (2) newborns with low birth weight (<2,500 g); and (3) stillborns (>500 g). A control was assigned to each case. Controls were the first newborns weighing > or = 2,500 g without malformations and of case-matching sex. Mother's residence during pregnancy was used as an exposure parameter. Statistical analyses were performed using Chi-square test or Fisher test, odds ratio, 0.05 significance level, and 95% confidence interval. RESULTS: For unadjusted analysis, it was found a correlation between low birth weight and geographical proximity of mother's residence to the petrochemical plant (OR = 1.66; 95% CI = 1.01--2.72) or residence on the way of preferential wind direction (OR = 1.62; 95% CI = 1.03--2.56). When other covariates were added in the conditional logistic regression (maternal smoking habits, chronic disease and age), there was no association. CONCLUSIONS: Despite final results were negative, low birth weight could be a good parameter of environmental contamination and should be closely monitored in the studied area.

Research: Pre-eclampsia is a disease with signs of hypertension, edema, and proteinuria arising from pregnancy. This disease generally occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy, but can occur earlier, for example in hydatidiform mole (Wiknjosastro, 2005: 282). Preeclampsia and Eclampsia are one of the main causes of maternal mortality in Indonesia. The incidence of preeclampsia ranges from 5-15% of all pregnancies in the world. Based on the 2003 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), the incidence of preeclampsia in Indonesia is estimated at 3.4–8.5%. The research method used analytical observational method through a case control approach, which is an analytical study concerning how risk factors are studied using a retrospective approach. In other words, the effect is identified now, then the risk factor is identified as having existed or occurred in the past. Research Results The results of the significance test using the Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship to the occurrence of low birth weight (LBW) in mothers with preeclampsia. This is indicated by the value of p = 0.000 which is smaller than α = 0.05, so Ho is rejected. While the results of the calculation of the Odds Ratio show that preeclampsia is one of the causes of LBW, this is indicated by the OR value of 3.028. Conclusion: There is a relationship between preeclampsia and low birth weight in dr. Soedarso Pontianak in 2018 with a probability value (ρ) = 0.000.

Background: It has been since antiquity that the importance of amniotic fluid and fetal growth with perinatal outcome is being documented. But the lacunae lies in studying the relationship between borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome. The following study was undertaken to provide recent data that would help predict perinatal outcome in borderline AFI pregnancies.Methods: About 144 patients were considered in the study OPD/IPD patients in obstetrics and gynecology department in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and Hospital, with about 72 cases with borderline amniotic fluid index (5-8 cm) and controls with amniotic fluid index ≥9-25 cm. Patients were selected and subjected to history taking, examination, ultrasound test with doppler studies and perinatal outcome documented over a period of one year.Results: The incidence of borderline AFI in my study was 16%. 58% were primigravidas. Meconium stained liquor was found in 18% cases compared to 7% controls. Low birth weight was found in 12.5% cases and 2.7% in controls. On applying statistical test analysis chi square test, it was found that borderline amniotic fluid index in relation to presence of meconium stained amniotic fluid and low birth weight, p value was found to be statistically significant (<0.05).Conclusions: Borderline amniotic fluid and perinatal outcome had significant relationship in terms of meconium stained liquor and birth weight while rest had no significance. Thus, borderline amniotic fluid patients require vigilant fetal surveillance.

ObjectiveThis study is concerned with helping to improve the health and care of newborn babies in Bangladesh by exploring adverse maternal circumstances and assessing whether these are contributing towards low birth weight (LBW) in neonates.Study designs and settingsData were drawn and analysed from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey, 2014. Any association between LBW and adverse maternal circumstances were assessed using a Chi-square test with determinants of LBW identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis.ParticipantsThe study is based on 4728 children aged below 5 years and born to women from selected households.ResultsThe rate of LBW was around 19.9% (199 per 1000 live births) with the highest level found in the Sylhet region (26.2%). The rate was even higher in rural areas (20.8%) and among illiterate mothers (26.6%). Several adverse maternal circumstances of the women included in the survey were found to be significant for increasing the likelihood of giving birth to LBW babies. These circumstances included the women being underweight (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.26, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.49); having unwanted births (AOR 1.22, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.44); had previous pregnancies terminated (AOR 1.28, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.57); were victims of intimate partner violence (AOR 1.23, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.45) and taking antenatal care <4 times (AOR 1.23, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.48). Other important risk factors that were revealed included age at birth <18 years (AOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.83) and intervals between the number of births <24 months (AOR 1.25, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.55). When taking multiple fertility behaviours together such as, the ages of the women at birth (<18 years with interval <24 months (AOR 1.26, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.57) and birth order (>3 with interval <24 months (AOR 1.68, 95% CI 1.18 to 2.37), then the risk of having LBW babies significantly increased.ConclusionThis study finds that adverse maternal circumstances combined with high-risk fertility behaviours are significantly associated with LBW in neonates. This situation could severely impede progress in Bangladesh towards achieving the sustainable development goal concerned with the healthcare of newborns.

Low birth weight is a global public health problem having various severe and life-threatening health effects. The World Health Organization is working to reduce the prevalence of low birth weight to 30% by the year 2025. Pinpointing the determinants of low birth weight at different scenarios is crucial to reduce the rate of low birth weight in low-income countries which consist of 96.5% of global low birth weight newborns. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess determinants of low birth weight in Sidama Zone public hospitals of South Ethiopia. An institution-based case-control study was conducted from March 1 to May 5, 2019, in Sidama Zone public hospitals. Data were collected from 354 mother-neonate samples with 118 of them having newborns with birth weight<2500 g (cases) and 236 of them having birth weight≥2500 g (controls) using a pretested, interviewer-administered structured questionnaire and medical record review. The odds of being rural dweller women was 3.51 times higher among cases (low birth weight babies) than among controls (normal birth weight babies) as compared to being urban dweller women (AOR=3.51, 95% CI (1.91-6.45)). The likelihood of initiating antenatal care late was 3.22 times more among cases than among controls when compared with timely initiation of antenatal care (AOR=3.22, 95% CI (1.47-7.14)). The probability of having pregnancy-induced hypertension was 4.49 times higher among mothers of the cases than among mothers of the controls as compared to not having pregnancy-induced hypertension (AOR=4.49, 95% CI (1.94-10.38)). The odds of not taking iron and folic acid during pregnancy was 3.92 times higher among mothers of the cases than mothers of the controls when compared with taking iron and folic acid (AOR=3.92, 95% CI (1.80-8.50)). The likelihood of having Mid-Upper Arm Circumference MUAC<23 cm was 4.27 times higher among mothers of the cases than among mothers of the controls as compared to having MUAC≥23 cm (AOR=4.27, 95% CI (2.24-8.12)). The probability of having inadequate dietary diversity was 3.75 times higher among cases than among controls as compared to having adequate dietary diversity (AOR=3.75, 95% CI (1.64-8.57)). Interventions targeting the aversion of low birth weight should focus on promotion of iron-folic acid supplementation and dietary diversification through timely initiation of antenatal care.

The rate of morbidity due to infection including nosocomial infection during neonatal period is higher than that due to other causes. The purpose of this study was to know the incidence and risk factors of nosocomial infection. This study was conducted on all babies treated at the neonatal unit, Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar during the period of April-June 1995. Chi square test was used to compare nosocomial infection between birth weight groups and mode of deliveries. The incidence of nosocomial infections in this study was 6%, with male to female ratio of 1.6:1. Skin infections were found most frequently. This occurrence of nosocomial infection was significantly related to the birth weight and mode of delivery, in which the risk of nosocomial infection was greater in babies with low birth weight and delivered by cesarean section or other obstetric procedures.
