Efffect of low third trimester maternal haemoglobine level on rate of preterm delivery and neonatal birth weight

Abstract

Objective: To determine the effect of third trimester hemoglobin level on duration of pregnancy and low birth weight. Materials and Methods: 500 Third trimester pregnant women examined in antenatal outpatient clinic of Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Education and Research Hospital between the 1st of April 2002 and 1st of the August 2002 were included in this retrospec-tive study. Results: Gestational age at delivery and birth weight were found to be higher in cases whose hemoglobin levels were 10.5-12.5 gr/dl than cases whose levels were 8.5-9.5 gr/dl. Conclusions: Risks of preterm delivery and low birth weight were found to be higher in pregnant women whose hemoglobin levels were lower the 10.5 g/dl and higher the 12.5 g/dl.

Gebeliğin üçüncü trimesterinde düşük hemoglobin düzeyinin preterm doğum oranı ve yenidoğan doğum ağırlığı üzerine etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Üçüncü trimester maternal hemoglobin seviyesinin, erken doğum ve düşük doğum ağırlığı üzerine etkisini incelemek. Materyal ve metod: l Nisan 2002-1 Ağustos 2002 tarihleri arasında Zeynep Kamil Kadın ve Çocuk Hastalıkları Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesine başvuran 500 gebenin hemoglobin değerleri ile spontan doğum zamanı ve yenidoğan doğum ağırlığı arasındaki ilişki retrospektif olarak araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemoglobin seviyesi 10.5-12.5 gr/dl arasındaki olgularda doğum sırasındaki gebelik haftası ve doğum ağırlığı, hemoglobin seviyesinin 8.5-9.5 gr/dl olan olgulara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hemoglobin değeri 10.5 gr/dl' den düşük ve 12.5 gr/dl den yüksek olan olgularda erken doğum ve düşük doğum ağırlığı riski artmaktadır.
