Low birth weight and associated risk factors in neonates
Objective: To determine if there are any maternal factors that might be linked to low birth weight (LBW). Methodology: This cross-sectional study was done at Al-Batool Teaching Hospital from January and March 2022 with 150 mothers who gave birth to babies who lived. Within 24 hours of being born, all babies were weighed. A birth weight of less than 2500 grams was thought to be low. All mothers were interviewed within 24 to 72 hours of giving birth, and the results were recorded. Results: There was significant differences (p<0.05) among socio demographic characteristics of mothers, except residence. There were significant differences (p<0.05) among maternal risk factors, except infant’s sex. There were significant differences (p<0.05) among disorders that associated with mothers. Conclusion: In Diyala province, LBW is linked to maternal socioeconomic status, risk factors, and disorders. Antenatal visits by well-educated and well-off women may decrease LBW.
