∗Statistically significant. At ANC and delivery, at a threshold of 95% confidence, anaemia status varied between two hospitals: ANC (p = 0.015) and delivery (p = 0.002). Anaemia status of pregnant women was determined using WHO guidelines into normal (>11 g/dl), mild (10-10.99 g/dl), moderate (7.0-9.9 g/dl), and severe (<7 g/dl) groups.
