Narrative review for anaemia and birth and health outcomes.
| Study | Study design, Country | Population | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ferdous et al., 2012 [54] | Prospective cohort, Bangladesh |
4817 women who delivered during 2007-2008 in the icddr,b field site in Matlab. | About 26.49% perinatal deaths occur in mild anemic group. |
| Monirujjaman et al., 2014 [66] | Cross-sectional, Bangladesh |
343 women aged 18-38 years were enrolled in this study from the district of Khulna division. | Incidence of LBW was comparatively higher (35.5%) in anemic women (hb < 9 g/dl) than normal women. |
| Begum et al., 2002 [51] | Cross-sectional, Bangladesh |
357 women were included from one hospital. | Anemic women had lower prevalence of diabetes (23.4%) than non-anemic women (54.2%). Anaemia was found protective for diabetes. |
| Mavalankar et al., 1992 [67] | Case-control, India | 1317 LBW cases mothers and 1465 controls mothers were selected during 1987 to 1988. | The risk of delivering LBW in serve anemic women was 5.6 (95% CI, 2.1-15.3) and the moderate anemic woman was 1.8 (95%CI, 1.4-2.4). |
| Rizvi et al., 2007 [72] | Case-control, Pakistan |
262 cases (LBW neonates) and 262 controls (normal weight) enrolled during July 2003 to September 2003. | Maternal haemoglobin level was independently associated with LBW. Odds of delivering an LBW baby decreased with increased in maternal haemoglobin (OR:0.70; 95% CI:0.63-0.79) |
| Singla et al., 1997 [75] | Cross-sectional India |
66 pregnant women were selected randomly from a hospital. | Inverse association was found between birth weight maternal anaemia: |
| Daljeet et al., 2016 [82] | Case-control India |
60 pregnant women included in this study; 30 of which were anemic | Maternal anaemia was found significantly correlated with the LBW |
| Iltaf et al., 2017 [58] | Prospective cohort India |
1606 women included in this study of which 161 had given a child classified as LBW | Higher percentage of LBW was found among mothers had low haemoglobin level |
| Javed et al., 2018 [60] | Cross-sectional Pakistan |
397 women included in this study of which 53 had given a child classified as LBW | Maternal anaemia was found significantly associated with the occurrence of LBW. |
| Parks et al., 2019 [69] | Retrospective cohort India and Pakistan |
A total of 92,247 deliveries data was analysed | Maternal anaemia was found associated with LBW, stillbirth, preterm birth, neonatal mortality. |
| Singal eta l., 2018 [76] | Case-control study India |
A total of 400 women given birth were included; 200 of them were anemic | Higher occurrence of preterm birth was found among anemic mother. |
| Varsha et al., 2017 [79] | Case-control study India |
200 mother-baby were included in this study | The occurrence of LBW was found higher among the mothers were anaemic during delivery. |
| Nair et al., 2018 [70] | Case-control study India |
200 pregnant mothers included and followed up delivery occurred | Mothers with anaemia at any time during pregnancy was found to have 4.3 times higher risk of giving birth to low birth weight babies compared to non-anemic mothers |
LBW, low birth weight; OR, odds ratio; CI, Confidence interval; hb, haemoglobin.
