Abstract

Background: Anemia is a public health problem especially among pregnant women. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency among pregnant women and its association with pregnancy outcome in Hebron Governorate in southern Palestine.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that included 300 pregnant women in their first trimester and 163 babies. Maternal anthropometric and socioeconomic and newborns' data were collected. Complete blood count for study subjects and maternal serum ferritin were measured.

Results: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia among pregnant women was 25.7% and 52% of them had depleted iron stores. When pregnant women were grouped into three hemoglobin (Hb) tertile groups, a significant difference was observed between maternal Hb and newborns' birth weight (P= 0.009), height (P= 0.022), head circumference (P= 0.017), and gestational age (P= 0.012). There was a significant association between maternal serum ferritin and frequency of low birth weight (P= 0.001) and frequency of preterm delivery (P= 0.003). No significant association was observed between maternal anthropometric measures or the socioeconomic status and pregnancy outcomes.

Conclusion: Iron deficiency is a moderate public health problem among the study subjects. Maternal Hb and serum ferritin significantly affect pregnancy outcomes.

巴勒斯坦孕妇贫血和缺铁的普遍程度及其与妊娠结果的关系。

背景：贫血是一个公共卫生问题，尤其是在孕妇中。本研究旨在调查巴勒斯坦南部希伯伦省孕妇贫血和缺铁的患病率及其与妊娠结果的关系：这是一项横断面研究，包括 300 名怀孕头三个月的孕妇和 163 名婴儿。收集了产妇的人体测量、社会经济和新生儿数据。对研究对象的全血细胞计数和孕妇血清铁蛋白进行了测量：结果：孕妇缺铁性贫血的发病率为 25.7%，其中 52% 的孕妇体内的铁储存已耗尽。将孕妇分为三个血红蛋白（Hb）三等分组后，发现母体 Hb 与新生儿出生体重（P= 0.009）、身高（P= 0.022）、头围（P= 0.017）和胎龄（P= 0.012）之间存在显著差异。母体血清铁蛋白与低出生体重（P= 0.001）和早产（P= 0.003）的发生率有明显的相关性。孕产妇的人体测量指标或社会经济状况与妊娠结局之间无明显关联：结论：在研究对象中，缺铁是一个中等程度的公共健康问题。母体血红蛋白和血清铁蛋白对妊娠结局有重大影响。

期刊介绍： Anemia is a peer-reviewed, Open Access journal that publishes original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies on all types of anemia. Articles focusing on patient care, health systems, epidemiology, and animal models will be considered, among other relevant topics. Affecting roughly one third of the world’s population, anemia is a major public health concern. The journal aims to facilitate the exchange of research addressing global health and mortality relating to anemia and associated diseases.
