Objective: To determine the frequency of low birth weight in pregnant women with anemia. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional survey, was conducted at OMC Hospital, Jail Road, Lahore and Medicine Deptt. of Lahore General Hospital during March 2020 to November 2020. We included 320pregnant females with gestational ages between 30 to 36 weeks with hemoglobin level of <10g/dl and further classified as moderate anemia with (Hb levels 8-9.9g/dl) and in severe anemia for those having Hb 8g/dl. All cases with known systemic diseases/abnormalities like hemoglobinopathies (sickle cell anemia/thalassemia), diabetes, hypertension, smoking, renal problems, oligo/polyhydramnios were excluded from the study. The neonates were examined after the delivery is done with the help of pediatrician and all protocols for neonates assessment were followed. All findings were recorded, low birth weight was considered if the neonatal weight was <2500g. These neonates were followed until they are discharged from the hospital or mortality (if any). Routine informed consent was also obtained from the patients attendants to use their data in the study. Results: In our study, 32.5% of the cases were low birth weight whereas 67.5%(n=216) cases had normal birth weight. Conclusion: Frequency of low birth weight is higher in mothers presenting with anemia. Keywords: Maternal anemia, low birth weight, association

In 2011, there were 32.4 million pregnant women aged 15-49 years in the world experiencing anemia. Data (WHO 2011) shows that around (30%) pregnant women in Indonesia experience anemia. This figure is higher compared to some other countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia (27%), Singapore (28%), and Vietnam (23%). This study aims to determine the relationship of anemia in pregnant women with the incidence of low birth weight babies (LBW) in the Mother and Child Hospital Sitti Khadijah 1 Makassar in 2018. Research conducted is descriptive analytic using cross sectional method in which a study, variables including risk factors and variables including effects are observed at once at the same time. Based on data from 70 pregnant women who have anemia, there are 66 pregnant women classified as mild anemia (94.3%) and 4 pregnant women with moderate anemia category (5.7%). Of the 23 pregnant women who gave birth to LBW babies were categorized into mild anemia as many as 22 (31.4%) and moderate anemia as much as 1 (1.42%). Based on the chi-square statistical test results obtained p value> 0.05 (p = 0.601) which means there is no significant relationship between anemia in pregnant women with the incidence of low birth weight in the Mother and Child Hospital Sitti Khadijah 1 Makassar in 2018.

Background: Weight of newborn is a universal predictor of health during childhood. Haematological prole varies with period of gestation in low birth weight neonates i.e., <2500 grams. They have different haematological prole as compared to normal birth weight neonates. Aim of this study is to relate early morbidity and mortality of low birth weight neonates and their haemoglobin at days 1, 4 and 7. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2019 to June 2020 on children weighing below 2500 grams admitted within 24 hours of birth in Department of Paediatrics, SGRDIMSR, Amritsar. A total of 110 neonates were enrolled in this study following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Haemoglobin levels of these were measured on days 1, 4 and 7. The data obtained was compiled and analysed to reach valid conclusions in relation to outcome in form of morbidity and mortality of the subjects. Results: Among 110 neonates majority belong to category of birth weight between 1500-2500 grams (70%). Lowest mean haemoglobin levels were seen in ELBW (<1000 grams) neonates. Fall in haemoglobin from day 1 to 7 in all the neonates was seen and was statistically signicant. Anaemia was signicantly related to PNA and mortality. Lowest mean haemoglobin values were seen in neonates with PNA as a morbidity on day 7 (13.04±2.32). Neonates who died had even lower haemoglobin level on day 7 (12.17±2.03). Conclusion: It was concluded that ELBW neonates had higher risk of early anaemia as compared to LBW and VLBW neonates. Anaemia was also signicantly present in neonates who died and those who had PNA. Thus early anaemia is associated with PNA, ELBW and Mortality.

cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Some studies havereported a significant relationship between elevated blood pressurein children with low birth weight.Objective To assess blood pressure differences in primary schoolstudents who had low and normal birth weights.Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in 170children aged 6 to 12 years in March 2011 at a Medan primaryschool, North Sumatera. Blood pressure was measured with astandard mercury sphygmomanometer. A parental questionnairewas used to collect information on birth weight. Data wereanalyzed by student’s T-test for numerical data and Spearman’scorrelation test for a relationship between blood pressure andbirth weight.Results The subjects consisted of 85 children with low birth weightand 85 children with normal birth weight. The mean systolic (SBP)and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) were significantly higherin children with low birth weight than those with normal birthweight [SBP: 106.7 vs. 99.8 mmHg, respectively, (P=0.0001); andDBP: 69.2 vs. 63.5 mmHg, respectively, (P=0.0001)]. There wererelationships between elevated SBP and DBP and low birth weight,as indicated by correlation coefficient [r=-0.365 and r=-0.425,respectively, (P=0.0001)].Conclusion Blood pressure is significantly higher in children withlow birth weight than in those with normal birth weight. Birthweight was inversely related both to systolic and diastolic bloodpressure.

Birth weight is a measurement for the baby an hour after birth, and it is categorized into three types. They are low birth weight (<2500 gram), normal birth weight (2500-4000 gram), and obese birth weight (>4000 gram). According to the Ministry of Health of Indonesia, low birth weight could be at risk of death, disorder of growth and development. This research aimed to determine the correlation between nutritional status, anemia and parity to birth weight in Semampir sub-district of Surabaya city in 2016. It was an observational study with cross sectional design. The data used were secondary data about birth weight as dependent variable, whereas nutritional status, anemia and parity as independent variables. The result of Pearson’s linier correlation test showed that on one hand, there was a significant correlation between nutritional status, anemia and parity to birth weight with p-value = 0,017 and 0,000. On the other hand, there was no correlation between anemia and birth weight (p = 0,857). The conclusion was mother with normal nutritional status and mother with no risk of parity between 2 – 4 times were mostly delivering babies in normal birth weight.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of various antioxidants, namely, vitamin A and E, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the cord blood of term low birth weight (LBW) neonates who required delivery room resuscitation (DRR). Materials and Methods: This case control study included 37 term LBW neonates who needed DRR as cases and 44 term neonates as controls (15 term LBW and 29 term normal birth weight) who did not require resuscitation at birth. Neonates suffering from major congenital malformations, infection, or hemolytic disease were excluded. Standard methods were used to measure the levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, SOD, catalase, and GPx levels in the cord blood. Results: Vitamin A and E levels were significantly low in cases compared to term LBW controls as well as term normal birth weight controls. Levels of SOD, GPx, and catalase were comparable in different study groups. Conclusion: Our study shows that term LBW neonates requiring DRR had significantly low levels of vitamin A and E in their cord blood. This might compromise their ability to tolerate oxidative stress during DRR.

Health Situation

Background: Babies with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams, irrespective of the period of their gestation are termed as Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies. Despite consistent efforts to improve the quality of maternal and child health, more than twenty million low birth-weight (LBW) babies are born every year throughout the world. Though, the health situation of Nepal has improved substantially over the years, the low birth-weight (LBW) rate is still high. The objective of this study was to assess the proportion of low birth weight and identify the associated factors for low birth weight in a live born infant among the institutionally delivered newborns. Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynaecology ward of Bharatpur hospital, Bharatpur, from 17th September to 4th October , 2012. Altogether 480 respondents were taken and respondents were mothers who had delivered newborns in Bharatpur hospital.Results: A total of 480 births occurred during the study period, of which 480 met the study criteria. Among which 9.4% were low birth weight and 90.6% were normal birth weight .Overall mean birth weight was found to be 2.96 kg. Out of total 9.4% newborns were weighing less than 2.50 kg and mean birth weight 2.96kg. Conclusions: This study suggests that there were several factors interplaying which lead to LBW babies; which are age of mother at delivery,weight gain by mother during pregnancy, short, low body mass index and hyperemesis gravidarum was the strongest predictor in this study.
