Introduction: This study is planned with aim to identify prevalence of anaemia in specified population in south India and to know various adverse consequences of anaemia in mother and child. Methods: This is a prospective observational study done in pregnant women indicates anaemia in pregnancy is a risk factor for low birth weight(LBW), preterm delivery, poor APGAR score and possibly early neonatal death. Results: After comparison with non anaemic and anaemic group we fond that there is 2.5 to 3.5 times increase in LBW, preterm delivery and early neonatal death in anaemic group. WHO criteria is used for classification of anaemia and we found 60% of our study population are anaemic. Conclusion: This study conform the recommendations of various previous studies that anaemia is strongly associated with LBW, preterm delivery and early neonatal death.

“…The risk of preterm delivery was more in anaemic group and increased with severity from 50 to 70 % which was reported in various studies. [20][21][22] However, a large Californian study, Klebanoff et al showed a doubled risk of preterm delivery with anaemia. 23 It is generally believed that anaemia in pregnancy increases with rising parity, due to repeated drain on iron stores.…”

INTRODUCTIONOne of the most common disorders associated with nutritional deficiencies is anaemia. It has been estimated by WHO that about one third of the population throughout the world are affected by this disorder. 1Around 14% of the pregnant women in the developed countries and 55% in the developing countries are affected, with 65-75% seen among the pregnant women in the Indian subcontinent.2 This results in severe morbidity and mortality among the women and low birth weight and death among the new born. Many of the women are anaemic before the conception, leading to a prevalence of anaemia among the no pregnant women also which is estimated to be around 50%. 3The prevalence in India is very high and contributes to about 80% of maternal deaths due to anemia in south Asia. This could also be due to size of the population. 4 Anaemia begins in childhood, worsens during adolescence in girls and gets aggravated during pregnancy. Surveys conducted in India have shown that70% of the preschool children were anemic and so were over 70% of the pregnant women and adolescent girls in the country. 5-7The etiology of anemia during pregnancy among women in developing countries is multifactorial and varies by geographic region. Hence this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of anemia among the pregnant women in our geographical area along with the outcome. ABSTRACTBackground: One of the most common disorders associated with nutritional deficiencies is anaemia. The etiology of anemia during pregnancy among women in developing countries is multifactorial and varies by geographic region. Hence this study was conducted to assess the prevalence of anemia among the pregnant women in our geographical area along with the outcome. Methods: The patients age, weight, BMI, parity, etc were noted and blood was collected for blood investigations which included random sugar levels, complete blood picture apart feom haemoglobin levels. Hemoglobin was calculated by Sahli's method and classified according to the WHO classification for pregnant women. Results: The predominant age group of the 486 patients was 20-24 years, followed by 25-29 years. 291 out of the 486 patients (59.9%) were anemic and 40.1% of the patients were non anemic. 19.8% of the patients had mild anemia, 33.3% of the patients had moderate anemia, and 6.8% of the patients had severe anemia. Conclusions: Information and interaction, and good nutritional diet and medication is important to reduce the incidences of anemia and thereby the morbidity and mortality associated with it.

“…They have not studied the effect of severity of anemia and effect of different grades of anemia on outcome of newborn babies related to NICU admissions. A retrospective study, conducted in Vardhman Mahavir medical college and Safdarjang hospital, New Delhi by Kumari Usha Rani et al [17] also showed that there is increased risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, poor APGAR score and admission of baby in neonatal intensive care unit was more in anaemic group and it increased with severity of anemia which was statistically significant. The increase in risk of early neonatal death was not significant in mild/moderate anaemic group (P value 0.326) while it was statistically significant in severely anaemic group (P value 0.004) [18].…”

Introduction: For India to reach sustainable development goal neonatal mortality should be decreased by half in the next 12 years. The present study was aimed to observe the prevalence of anemia in the mothers whose babies are admitted in our SNCU and its impact on neonatal mortality. Aims: 1. To study the prevalence and severity of anemia among mothers of babies who are admitted in Special New Born Care Unit (SNCU), district hospital, Vizianagaram. 2. To study the effect of maternal anemia on outcome of babies admitted into SNCU. Methods: It is a retrospective analytical study, conducted in the department of SNCU, District hospital, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India. The 3-year data regarding mother's hemoglobin concentration and neonatal outcome in the form of discharges, referrals and deaths was analysed irrespective of the reason for admission and the diagnosis. The data was collected from April 2016 to March 2019 retrospectively from the SNCU records. This study was done to assess the prevalence of anemia; a preventable cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality and its impact on outcome of neonates admitted into our SNCU irrespective of the reason for admission and the diagnosis. Results: A total number of 7627 babies were admitted in SNCU, with various conditions in the above mentioned 3yr period. Out of which hemoglobin value was available for 6558 mothers. The hemoglobin data of these 6558 mothers and the outcome of their babies irrespective of their diagnosis and the reason for admission was analysed. Anemia was found in 5076(95%) mothers. Severe anemia (Hb: 4-6.9gm%) was found in 27(0.4%) mothers and it was significantly associated with increased referrals and neonatal deaths. whereas mild and moderate anemia didn't have much impact on the SNCU outcome. Conclusion: Severe maternal anemia is a significant, independent and preventable risk factor for neonatal mortality.
