Abstract

Back ground: Low birth weight is the major predictor of prenatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. It has been defined by the World Health Organization as weight at birth of less than 2,500 grams irrespective of their gestational age. Rate of low birth weight is still high in developing countries like Ethiopia particularly Oromia regional state where adequate primary health care services for maternal and child health are not universally available to all the populations. It is therefore imperative to identify risk factors for low birth weight in various communities in order to come up with feasible intervention strategies to minimize the problem.
埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区州Adama镇公共卫生设施中新生儿出生体重过低的危险因素
背景:低出生体重是世界范围内产前死亡率和发病率的主要预测因素。世界卫生组织将其定义为出生时体重低于2500克,无论其胎龄如何。在埃塞俄比亚等发展中国家,特别是奥罗米亚地区国家,低出生体重率仍然很高,在这些国家,并非所有人口都能普遍获得适当的妇幼保健初级保健服务。因此,必须确定各个社区低出生体重的危险因素,以便提出可行的干预策略,以尽量减少问题。
