Deskripsi
Aim:The aim of the study was to investigate the possible effects of maternal anemia in pregnant women with respect to placental weight and newborn weight.Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 68 healthy pregnant women were included from the 2nd İzmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital, Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Maternal anemia was defined with a hemoglobin value less than 10 g/dL. The correlations were studied between the parameters (hemoglobin levels, placental weight and newborn weight ) in primiparous and multiparous women.Results:The study cohort consisted of 36 (52%) multiparous and 32 (48%) primiparous women (mean age ± standard deviation: 27.40±7.23 years (range: 17-45 years). The mean age of the newborns was 39.8 weeks. The rate of gestational anemia was as 27%. The rate for multıparous pregnant women (31.7%) was four times higher rates anemia compared to the rate of primiparous pregnant woman (8.3%). A positive correlation was found between placental weight and child weight (R: 0.657, t value: 0.00). There was a weak negative correlation between placental weight and hemoglobin (Hb) values. However, there was no statistically significant correlation between maternal Hb values and neonatal weight.Conclusion:Maternal anemia is an important and frequently encountered antenatal problem for pregnant women and it should be investigated in pregnant women and as well as candidates for pregnancy.
