LBW infants with birth weight less than 2500 grams regardless gestation period. Low birth weight is the weight of a baby who weighed within 1 hour after birth. World Health Organization (WHO) since 1961 states that all newborns are underweight or equal to 2,500 g called low birth weight infant (low birth weight). According to WHO. Statistically, morbidity and mortality in neonates in developing countries is high, with the main causes is associated with LBW. To facilitate medical personnel in determining the risk of LBW. From the testing that has been done by the author, the k-means clustering algorithm has accuracy in classifying LBW babies by spacing the proximity between variables and the similarities in the test data,

OBJECTIVES: to assess the performance of various anthropometric methods for the evaulation of the nutritional status of pregnant women as a means of predicting low birth weight (LBW). METHODS: a descriptive cross-cutting study carried out among 433 pregnant women (>20 years) attending a Public Maternity Hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The adequacy of the weight gain at the end of the pregnancy was evaluated in accordance with the proposals of the Institute of Medicine and the Brazilian Ministry of Health. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the adequacy of weight gain at the end of the pregnancy or nutritional state of mother as a predictor of low birth weight were calculated. RESULTS: the sensitivity of the various methods varied from 63.1% to 68.4% and the specificity from 71.2% to 75.1%. The adapted Institute of Medicine proposal drawn up by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, according to the classification of the pre-delivery nutritional status of the mother according to the World Health Organization cutoff points showed itself to be the most accurate (74.5%), this being the most adequate method for nutritional triage for reason of its association with low birth weight (OR=4.10; 95%CI=1.53-10.92). CONCLUSIONS: the best proposals for this population are those of the Institute of Medicine and the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Further studies aiming to ascertain the most appropriate methods of anthropometric evaluation for different populations should be encouraged.

A total of 3000 consecutive neonates delivered in a maternity hospital in Giza, Egypt, were subjected to full clinical and genetic evaluation. Social data included parental consanguinity and social class. The prevalence of malformations in the 3000 hospital live births and stillbirths was 3.17%. Malformed neonates [95] were classified into 13 groups according to the system affected using World Health Organization classification of congenital malformations. The most common anomalies were:central nervous system [29.5%], musculoskeletal system [20.0%] and genetic syndromes [13.7%]. Parental consanguinity was found in 31.79% of all cases and in 55.0% of malformed cases, thus illustrating the deleterious effects of consanguinity

Background: World Health Organization has defined low birth weight (LBW) as birth weight less than 2,500 grams. Giving birth to a LBW infant is influenced by several factors. Objective of the study was to measure the proportion of low birth weight babies delivered in V.S.S medical college and hospital, Burla and its association with socio-demographic factors.Methods: Hospital based cross -sectional study comprising of 1030 postnatal women who delivered single live baby in V.S.S Medical College and Hospital, Burla. Selection of study participants was done by systematic random sampling in the study period October 2012 to September 2014. Chi-square test was used to measure association between LBW and socio-demographic factors.Results: The proportion of LBW was found to be 27.76%. The proportion of LBW babies was high and significant in extremes of age i.e. teenage (44.19%) and 30 years and above age group (39.56%) and Muslim mothers (36.36%), illiterate mothers (53.52 %), manual labourer (67.14%), socioeconomic class IV and V (32.98%), consanguinity history (60.58%), smoky fuel (30.02%), consumption of tobacco (49.11%).Conclusions: The proportion of LBW (27.76%) was found to be higher than national average (21.5%).

It has been customary to determine prematurity by birth weight alone, even though the shortcomings of this practice have been pointed out convincingly, for instance, by McKeown and Gibson.1 The World Health Organization has recently taken cognizance of this problem, realizing that its previous recommendation of a birth weight limit of 2,500 gm is but a temporary expedient while no better method is available to define, study, and manage prematurity. The new, brief report2 points out the numerical magnitude of the problem by stating that among infants of healthy, young primigravidae receiving good obstetrical care, only two-thirds of those weighing less than 2,500 gm are born before the thirty-eighth week.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar estudos que associam o baixo peso ao nascer e a proficiência motora em crianças com idade entre um e dez anos. A revisão sistemática da literatura foi realizada em base de dados eletrônica e lista de referência dos artigos publicados. Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores na língua inglesa: "infant low birth weight", "infant very low birth weight", "infant extremely low birth weight", "motor skills", "psychomotor performance", "child development", "human development", "growth & development", "growth" e "fetal development". A análise dos estudos envolveu leitura de títulos, resumos e textos completos. No total, 18 artigos foram lidos na íntegra; apenas dois estudos tiveram delineamento longitudinal; e os demais estudos eram transversais. As crianças avaliadas tinham idade entre 9 meses e 9 anos. Na avaliação do desenvolvimento motor, há ampla utilização de instrumentos já padronizados, que avaliam habilidades motoras grossas e finas de maneira quantitativa.Os resultados dos estudos apontam que crianças nascidas com peso abaixo de 2.500g apresentam algum tipo de deficit motor. As habilidades mais afetadas foram as habilidades motoras finas e o equilíbrio. O peso ao nascer é uma variável que deve ser considerada nos estudos sobre o desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras básicas das crianças.

Abstract Objective To analyze the agreement, in relation to the 90th percentile, of ultrasound measurements of abdominal circumference (AC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW), between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Fetal and Newborn Growth Consortium for the 21st Century (intergrowth-21st) tables, as well as regarding birth weight in fetuses/newborns of diabetic mothers. Methods Retrospective study with data from medical records of 171 diabetic pregnant women, single pregnancies, followed between January 2017 and June 2018. Abdominal circumference and EFW data at admission (from 22 weeks) and predelivery (up to 3 weeks) were analyzed. These measures were classified in relation to the 90th percentile. The Kappa coefficient was used to analyze the agreement of these ultrasound variables between the WHO and intergrowth-21st tables, as well as, by reference table, these measurements and birth weight. Results The WHO study reported 21.6% large-for-gestational-age (LGA) newborns while the intergrowth-21st reported 32.2%. Both tables had strong concordances in the assessment of initial AC, final AC, and initial EFW (Kappa = 0.66, 0.72 and 0.63, respectively) and almost perfect concordance in relation to final EFW (Kappa = 0.91). Regarding birth weight, the best concordances were found for initial AC (WHO: Kappa = 0.35; intergrowth-21st: Kappa = 0.42) and with the final EFW (WHO: Kappa = 0.33; intergrowth- 21st: Kappa = 0.35). Conclusion The initial AC and final EFW were the parameters of best agreement regarding birth weight classification. The WHO and intergrowth-21st tables showed high agreement in the classification of ultrasound measurements in relation to the 90th percentile. Studies are needed to confirm whether any of these tables are superior in predicting short- and long-term negative outcomes in the LGA group.

ABSTRACT [Low birth weight is still a problem in Indonesia, because it is a major cause of death in the neonatal period. Based on data from the World Health Organization in 2003 estimated neonates each year about 20 million are born low birth weight. Based on results of the Basic Health Research in 2007 prevalence of low birth weight in Indonesia was 11.5%. In South Sumatra Province the IMR in 2012 was 29 per 1,000 live births, the IMR in Palembang in 2012 there were 97 infant deaths of 29. 451 live births, one of the causes of infant mortality was low birth weight. In the Muhammaddiyah Palembang hospital low birth weight in 2013obtained as many as 151 cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of maternal age, parity, education and work by simultaneously newborns with low birth weight. The design of this research is an analytic survey with cross sectional approach and applied by retrospectively. The population in this study were all mothers of normal birth at term gestation at Muhammadiyah Palembang hospital in 2013 as 2215. The sample are 339 respondents. In this study conducted univariate, bivariate and multivariate analyzes. From the analysis we found no association between maternal age with low birth weight (P Value = 0.043, OR = 0.551), no relationship between parity and low birth weight (P Value = 0.034, OR = 0.484), no relation between education and low birth weight (P Value = 0.020, OR = 0.998), no relationship between work maternity and low birth weight (P Value = 0.049, OR = 0.500). The most dominant variable is the maternity age. It is suggested to the leadership of Muhammadiyah Palembang hospital is expected to be able to further improve health care programs such as counseling about the importance of prenatal care, nutrition and nutritional needs during pregnancy that can detect early complications in pregnancy to prevent low birth weight.   ABSTRAK BBLR masih menjadi masalah di Indonesia, karena merupakan penyebab utama kematian pada masa neonatal. Berdasarkan data WHO tahun 2003 setiap tahun diperkirakan neonatus yang lahir sekitar 20 juta adalah BBLR. Berdasarkan hasil Riset Kesehatan Dasar tahun 2007 prevalensi BBLR di Indonesia sebesar 11,5 %. Di Propinsi Sumatera Selatan AKB tahun 2012 sebesar 29 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup, di Kota Palembang AKB tahun 2012 sebanyak 97 kematian bayi dari 29.451 kelahiran hidup, salah satu penyebab kematian bayi adalah BBLR. Di Rumah Sakit Muhammaddiyah Palembang didapatkan kejadian  BBLR pada tahun 2013 sebanyak 151 kasus. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan umur ibu, paritas, pendidikan dan pekerjaan secara simultan bayi baru lahir dengan kejadian BBLR. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah survey analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional yang dilakukan secara retrospektif. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua ibu melahirkan  normal dengan usia kehamilan aterm di rumah sakit Muhammadiyah Palembang pada Tahun 2013 yang berjumlah 2215. Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 339 responden. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan analisis univariat, bivariat dan multivariat. Dari hasil analisis didapatkan ada hubungan antara umur ibu dengan BBLR (P Value = 0,043, OR = 0,551), ada hubungan paritas dengan BBLR (P Value = 0,034, OR = 0,484), ada hubungan pendidikan dengan BBLR       (P Value = 0,020, OR = 0,998), ada hubungan pekerjaan dengan BBLR                    (P Value = 0,049, OR = 0,500). Variabel paling dominan adalah umur ibu. Disarankan kepada pimpinan rumah sakit Muhammadiyah Palembang diharapkan untuk dapat lebih meningkatkan program pelayanan kesehatan seperti penyuluhan tentang pentingnya pemeriksaan kehamilan, kebutuhan nutrisi dan gizi selama masa kehamilan yang dapat mendeteksi dini komplikasi kehamilan untuk mencegah terjadinya BBLR.
