Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of anemia in pregnancy on the mode of delivery and new-born. Methods: Between June and October 2009, 307 pregnant women were evaluated in terms of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) values, and delivery mode retrospectively. And also, the first and fifth minute Apgar scores, birth weight, and the values of Hb, Hct, and bilirubin, which obtained from the cord blood of neonates, were analyzed. Pregnant women were divided into two groups and classified as: hemoglobin value under 11.1 g / dl as anemic and the others as non-anemic group. In addition, the anemic group were divided into three group in terms of hemoglobin value, as follows: Group 1: 10.1 -11 mg/dl, group 2: 9.1 - 10 mg/dl, and group 3:

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı gebelikteki aneminin doğum şekli ve yeni doğan (YD) üzerine etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntemler: Haziran-Ekim 2009 arasında doğum yapan 307 gebede hemoglobin (Hb), hematokrit (Hct) değerleri ve doğum şekli retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Ayrıca 1.dakika ve 5.dakika apgar skorları, doğum ağırlıkları ve yeni doğanların kordon kanından elde edilen Hb, Hct ve bilirubin değerleri kaydedildi. Gebeler, Hb değeri 11,1 g/dl ve üzerinde olanlar anemik olmayan ve 11g/dl altında olanlar ise anemik olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılarak sınıflandırıldı. Ayrıca Hb değeri 10,1–11 g/dl, 9,1-10 g/dl ve 9 g/dl\'nin altında olanlar şeklinde anemik grup kendi içinde 3 gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan gebelerin 146\'sı anemik iken, 161\'i anemik değildi. Düşük doğum ağırlıklı bebek oranları anemik gebelerde anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p=0,029). Anemik gebelerin yeni doğanlarında Hb (P=0,026) ve Hct P=0,006) değerlerinin anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü. Düşük doğum ağırlığı sıklığı, anne Hb değeri 10g/dl ve altında olduğunda anlamlı olarak artmaktaydı (%62,5 duyarlılık, %74,7 özgüllük). Sonuç: Anemik gebelerin yeni doğanlarında düşük doğum ağırlığı ile düşük Hb ve Hct değerleri daha sık görülmektedir. Bu nedenle gebelik esnasında anemi muhtemel olumsuz sonuçları nedeniyle taranmalı ve tedavi edilmelidir.
