deficiency is the most common nutritional deficit in the world. More than 50%
of anemia in pregnancy results from iron deficiency and it is suggested that it
may be associated with negative pregnancy outcomes. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Aim: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">The
aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of irony deficiency anemia in
pregnancy in the East Marmara region of Turkey in order to determine its
prevalence in the country along with the effects and associations of iron
supplementation or iron status on maternal and neonatal outcomes. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <b> <span lang="en" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en">Study Design: </span> </b> <span lang="en" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en">The study was designed as a </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">prospective </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en">, </span> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">longitudinal qualitative </span> <span lang="en" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en"> study. </span> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </b> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Method: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">
This study was conducted in six centers in three provinces of the East Marmara
region(Turkey) and included a total of 1102 pregnant women. Blood samples were
collected for hematological status and serum ferritin levels during pregnancy,
and the adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes were determined. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Results: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">
The rate of anemia among the women included in the study was 19.8%, with 44% of
them receiving iron supplementation. The maternal age was lower in the anemic
group(26.5 vs. 27.7, p = 0.01). Selective iron use was more frequent in the
anemic group, while routine iron use was more frequent in the non-anemic
group(47.1% vs. 29.3%; p = 0.01). </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Conclusions: </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:200%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">
Iron deficiency anemia is a frequent problem in pregnancy. However, many anemic
pregnant women do not receive iron therapy. Iron supplementation may have
positive effects on some maternal and perinatal outcomes. In order to combat
iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy, widespread use of iron supplements should
be established. <b> </b> </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b>}, number={3}
