“…Maximum cases of microcytic hypochromic (59.4%), followed by dimorphic (23.4%), normocytic normochromic (15.6%) and macrocytic (1.6%) (Table 8) were also observed. These findings were consistent with, findings observed by Rawat et al [26] (51%), Bivalkar et al [11] (55.4%) and Pawale et al [28] (89.75%). The commonest cause of anemia in pregnancy according to the WHO report is nutritional i.e.…”

“…The second commonest morphological type of anemia was dimorphic anemia (23.4%) whereas other studies done by Pawale et al [28] and Rawat et al [26] showed lesser percentage of 1.75% and 13% respectively. Least percentage (1.6%) of macrocytic type of anemia was observed which was similar to the other studies wherein the prevalence was 4% [26]. On correlating grade of anemia with morphological types of anemia, the moderate and mild grade of anemia were predominantly microcytic hypochromic morphologically whereas the severe anemia showed dimorphic blood picture (p=0.011, statistically significant, Table 9).…”

Background: Anemia in pregnancy is a major public health problem worldwide and is the most common hematological disorder during pregnancy. According to WHO, 35 to 75% of pregnant women in developing countries are anemic. Material and Methods: A prospective study was conducted among 100 pregnant women in their first trimester who attended antenatal clinic in a tertiary care hospital. Socio-demographic information were collected along with the blood samples. Hemoglobin concentration, blood indices, PCV, RDW, WBC and RBC counts were determined by a hematological auto-analyzer. Anemia was graded according to WHO criteria and morphological typing of anemia was done on the basis of peripheral blood smear examination. Result: A high prevalence (64%) of anemia was observed among 100 pregnant women of which majority had mild anemia (50%), moderate anemia (48.4%) and severe anemia (1.6%) commonly seen in younger age group (20-24 years). Factors such as age at marriage, age at first childbirth, illiteracy, gravida, working status, residence and socioeconomic status were found to be significantly. According to blood indices and peripheral blood smear analysis microcytic hypochromic anemia (59.4%) was the commonest morphological type of anemia followed by dimorphic anemia (23.4%). Iron deficiency anemia was found to be the commonest cause of anemia in pregnancy. Conclusion: The present study concluded that health education, good nutrition, thorough clinical and hematological examination with iron and folic acid supplements during antenatal period should be implemented to reduce the prevalence of anemia, thus decreasing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality during pregnancy.

“…Rawat et al, in their study too showed a higher prevalence of moderate anaemia 51.3%, mild 35.1% and severe 13.4%. 12 However the study by Rawat et al, had only included anaemic patients and categorised them accordingly. Tyagi N et al, reported a higher prevalence of moderate anaemia 61% followed by 29.5% of mild anaemia.…”

Background: Anaemia is the commonest medical disorder in pregnancy. It is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This study analyses the prevalence and pattern of anaemia and correlates it with booking status in a new medical college in rural Haryana.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted to analyze prevalence, severity and morphology of anaemia in hospitalized pregnant patients at the time of labour in a new medical college in rural Haryana. Antenatal booking status was correlated with haemoglobin levels and severity. The study was conducted over a period of six months from Nov ’18 to April’19.Results: 390 singleton labour patients at or near term with no other known medical complications were evaluated. Prevalence of anaemia in the centre serving as a referral with onsite blood bank facilities was as high as 79.7 %. 47.9% of patients did not have even a single antenatal visit. 50.8% had microcytic hypochromic anaemia followed by 32.3% who had normal morphological picture; dimorphic was 14% and macrocytic 2.8%. The prevalence in booked patients was 78.91% compared to 80.1% in unbooked.Conclusions: Anaemia continues to be a major challenge to the obstetric services despite targeted efforts by the government and various organizations to provide free prophylaxis. Iron deficiency or nutritional anaemia is the commonest. However, booking visits, counselling and free distribution of iron tablets doesn’t ensure that the patient is protected from anaemia. This raises concerns about compliance and hence effectiveness of oral iron therapy. An aggressive strategy for diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment of anaemia as well as a method to ensure compliance must be developed.

“…[3] Anemia during pregnancy increases the chances of fetal deaths, abnormalities, pre-term and underweight babies. Iron deficiency anemia has remained the frequent cause of disability in India for 10 years, According to an India spend analysis of last two Global Burden of Disease (GBD) surveys, the latest figures show a decline of 23% in disabilities caused by anemia since 2005, but it is still the highest in the world.…”

Anemia is a multi-factorial disorder that requires a step wise approach for its prevention and treatment. Anemia is a condition characterized by a reduction in the total circulating hemoglobin. This ProspectiveObservational study mainly focus on the degree, types, and the rationality of the treatment for the specific types of anemia. The study is carried out in tertiary care hospital Salem, Tamilnadu. A total of 150 patients are collected who are diagnosed as anemia during pregnancy in the department of obstetrics and gynecology. The case sheets are collected and utilized in the filling of the details of the formatted questionnaire. Out of 150 patients 66.8% were moderate anemic, 22.6% were mild anemic, and 10.6% were severe anemic. Out of 137 cases 59.1% were responded to parenteral iron preparation, 36.5% responded for oral and 4.4% responded for blood transfusion and out of 13 cases 69.2% didn't respond for oral and 30.8% didn't respond for parenteral therapy. From the study it was concluded that there is a high prevalence of anemia in pregnant females.
