Abstract

Objective: To examine the predictors of adverse birth outcomes (ABOs) among pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at the Kintampo Municipal Hospital (KMH) in Ghana.

Method: A case-control study was conducted to enrol 408 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at KMH into the study. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Stata version 15 was used to analyse the data. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine factors associated with ABOs. Level of statistical significance was established at p < 0.05.

Results: Factors that were significantly associated with ABOs were: receiving of ITN (aOR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.20, 3.45), at least 8 times visits to ANC (aOR = 0.32, 95%CI: 0.15, 0.69), and partner's education (aOR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.29, 0.96).

Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, this study revealed that receiving ITNs during pregnancy was associated with ABOs. Further research is needed to explain why receiving ITNs increases the likelihood of ABOs.

加纳金坦波市立医院孕妇不良分娩结局的决定因素。

目的：探讨加纳金坦波市市医院（KMH）产前门诊孕妇不良分娩结局（abo）的预测因素。方法：采用病例对照研究方法，将在KMH产前门诊就诊的408名孕妇纳入研究。采用结构化问卷的方式从被调查者中获取信息。使用Stata version 15分析数据。采用多元回归分析确定与abo相关的因素。结果：与abo有显著相关的因素为：接受ITN （aOR = 2.03, 95%CI: 1.20, 3.45）、至少8次去ANC （aOR = 0.32, 95%CI: 0.15, 0.69）、伴侣教育（aOR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.29, 0.96）。结论：与预期相反，本研究显示妊娠期间接受ITNs与abo相关。需要进一步的研究来解释为什么接受ITNs会增加abo的可能性。
