“…As with maternal age, birth order also showed a U-shaped relationship with the risk of LBW, which is consistent with the finding of others studies (33,34). The higher risk of LBW in mothers aged < 20 years or with first births, and older mothers or with higher order births might be due to reproductive and anatomical problems, lack of proper knowledge and use of antenatal care, low socioeconomic status, unplanned pregnancies and more pregnancy complications (29,35).…”

Background: Low birth weight (< 2.5 kg) is an important indicator of health and development of infants throughout their life. Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors for low birth weight in Jordan and its association with under-5 mortality. Methods: In this secondary analysis, data were extracted from the 2012 Jordan Population and Family Health Survey for 9734 live births born in the 5 years preceding the survey and for which birth weight was reported. Data were collected on child and maternal characteristics. Multivariable regression analysis was used to determine the significant risk factors for low birth weight and mortality. Results: Of the 9734 births analysed, 13.8% were low birth weight and 1.3% were very low birth weight. Mother's age (< 30 and ≥ 35 years), education (less than higher education), birth interval (< 24 months and first birth), unplanned pregnancy, household wealth status (poorest and richest), consanguinity, residence (central and south regions of Jordan), female sex, birth order (1 and ≥ 6), twin birth and maternal smoking during pregnancy were significant risk factors for low birth weight. The risk of death under 5 years of age was 4.8 times higher in children with low birth weight than children with normal birth weight. Conclusions: The high rate of low birth weight and its increasing rate in Jordan is a challenge for public health. Preventing low birth weight neonates and increasing their survival need to be prioritized in the national health strategy. Special care needs to be taken for the high-risk groups identified in this study.

“…Similarly to Hoquet et al report, our study showed that the risk of LBW signi cantly increased at the rst delivery [38]. The impact of primiparity on low birthweight was reported by several authors [40][41][42]. The biological ground for rst delivery children to be at higher risk of low birthweight may be related to the placenta of rst pregnancy women being at higher risk of parasite-infected red blood cells sequestration, disrupting thus nutrients supply to the fetus [43] or because some physiologic changes occurring during pregnancy to facilitate fetal growth with the process incompletely reversing in postpartum may create a more e cient environment for subsequent fetuses [44].…”

Background. In sub-Saharan Africa, the intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy using sulphadoxine pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) strategy is recommended to limit malaria adverse effects on birth outcomes. Ten year after IPTp-SP was adopted in Burkina Faso, we assessed the magnitude and maternal factors of low birthweight (LBW) in Nanoro.Methods. A secondary analysis of data from a cross-sectional study was carried out in women who gave birth at Nanoro peripheral health centers using a binary multivariate logistic regression. Maternal socio-demographic factors, gyneco-obstetrical history and relevant medical characteristics were evaluated to identify associated factors. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results. Of 291 delivery records examined, 14 % of women received three or more doses of SP while 80% used bed nets the night before their admission for delivery. Malaria was detected in 36.1% and anemia in 52.9% of women. The average neonate birthweight was 2933 g and 12 % were born with a low birthweight. By multivariate analysis, first delivery (OR = 8.84, [95% CI: 3.72-21.01]), and being multiparous with history of stillbirth (OR = 5.03, [95% CI: 1.54-16.40]) were significantly associated with an increased risk of LBW.Conclusion. LBW was still prevalent in rural Nanoro and the uptake of three or more doses of SP for the IPTp was low. In addition, to improving the coverage of the 3-dose IPTp-SP, it may be necessary to target interventions aiming to reduce maternal anemia such as adequate nutrients uptake to mitigate the issue of adverse birth outcomes.

LBW is still prevalent in rural Nanoro and the uptake of three or more doses of SP for the IPTp was low. In addition, to improving the coverage of IPTp-SP to improve birthweight, an extension of the target of antenatal care to other known causes of LBW including curable sexually transmitted infections may be necessary.
