“…Data were collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire adopted from previous literature. 23–25 It consists of sociodemographic (age, marital status, monthly income, religion, ethnicity, occupation), maternal and neonatal characteristics. The questionnaire was initially prepared in English and translated to the local languages (Afan Oromo, Amharic and Somali).…”

Background Anemia is a worldwide problem with serious effects for mothers and their babies. Although efforts have been made to lessen the burden of anemia, it has remained a problem. Moreover, there is a paucity of information regarding the perinatal outcomes of anemia in the study area. Thus this study aimed to assess the perinatal outcomes in anemic pregnant women in eastern Ethiopia. Methods A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 407 systematically selected pregnant women. Data were collected by interview and entered into EpiData version 3.1 and then exported into SPSS for Windows version 20 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were employed to determine the association between independent variables and the outcome variable. Results Among pregnant women, 61.9% had an adverse perinatal outcome. The most common reported adverse perinatal outcomes were preterm birth, congenital anomalies and stillbirths. Furthermore, variables such as educational status (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.11 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.245 to 3.58]), antenatal care follow-up (AOR 2.75 [95% CI 1.47 to 5.18]) and hemoglobin level (AOR 4.1 [95% CI 2.609 to 6.405]) were significantly associated with perinatal outcomes. Conclusions Nearly three-fourths of anemic pregnant women experienced adverse perinatal outcomes. In general, this study identified that educational status, antenatal follow-up and hemoglobin level were associated with perinatal outcomes among anemic pregnant women. To prevent adverse perinatal outcomes, efforts must be made to ensure that all pregnant women receive antenatal care and have adequate maternal nutritional status.

“…The data were collected through an interview technique using a pretested structured questionnaire developed by reviewing the literature. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The questionnaires comprised questions about socio-economic and demographic information, obstetric, health and lifestyle-related variables. Each woman was interviewed during the intrapartum period while she was relatively in stable condition.…”

Background: Although it is a public health problem of pregnant women in low, middle and high-income countries, the highest prevalence rate of anemia is found among pregnant women of low-income countries, particularly in Africa. Therefore, this study has aimed to determine the magnitude of the anemia and its associated factors among pregnant women admitted to labor wards of public hospitals in eastern Ethiopia. Methods and Materials: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 405 pregnant women admitted to labor wards in four public hospitals of Harar town and Dire Dawa City Administration. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study participants. Data were collected through an interview using a structured questionnaire. The hemoglobin level was measured for each study participant. Binary and multivariable logistic regression models were fitted and statistical significance was declared at P<0.05. Results: The magnitude of anemia was 33.1% (95% CI: 28.4%, 37.8%). Being from rural areas (AOR: 3.8; 95% CI: 1.81, 7.94), no antenatal care (ANC) follow-up (AOR: 3.4; 95% CI: 1.34, 8.79), a habit of drinking milk with tea after meals (AOR: 2.8; 95% CI: 1.48, 5.61), taking a meal only 1-2 times per day (AOR: 3.9; 95% CI: 1.69, 8.97), experiencing no blood loss in the current pregnancy (AOR: 0.25; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.96) and a habit of eating leafy vegetables (AOR: 0.12; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.24) were significantly associated with anemia. Conclusion: About one in three pregnant women were anemic and anemia was a moderate public health problem in the study settings. Interventions targeting reducing or preventing anemia should focus on pregnant women in rural areas, promoting the benefits of ANC follow-up, reducing the habit of drinking milk with tea after meals, enhancing the consumption of leafy vegetables and increasing meal frequency per day to minimize or prevent anemia and its consequences during pregnancy.

“…The data were collected using a modified, semi-structured, and pre-tested questionnaire translated to Afaan Oromo and Amharic versions which were adapted from various published literatures. 5 , 12 , 13 The wording and sequence of questions were designed in such a way that the sequence of ideas (from general to specific, and from easy to difficult questions) was maintained. The data related to that of women are collected during the intrapartum period, while the women are in relatively stable condition.…”

Objectives: Anemia is a common medical problem among pregnant women that will influence pregnancy and birth outcomes. In Ethiopia, there is a paucity of evidences regarding the problem among pregnant women admitted to labor ward. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and factors associated with anemia among pregnant women admitted to labor ward for deliveries at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 314 pregnant women admitted to labor ward at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital in June 2020. Data were collected using an interviewer administered questionnaire and were entered into EpiData and analyzed using SPSS. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis were done to identify predictors of anemia. Results: In this study, the magnitude of anemia was 37.9% (95% confidence interval: 32.4, 43.0). Short birth interval (adjusted odds ratio = 2.5; 95% confidence interval: 1.02, 6.13), history of blood loss during pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio = 4.3; 95% confidence interval: 1.86, 9.9), less consumption of citrus fruit within a week (adjusted odds ratio = 2.9; 95% confidence interval: 1.2, 6.9), and meal frequency less than three times per day during pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio = 2.2; 95% confidence interval: 1.0, 4.6) were significantly associated with anemia, respectively. Conclusion: This study pointed out that more than one-third of pregnant women affected by anemia. Thus, interventions that could reduce anemia, such as counseling about increasing of meal frequency during pregnancy, foods rich in iron, and prevention and management of blood loss are recommended.
