Our study assessed the health profile of neonates in relation to anemia in pregnancy and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). This was a retrospective study where a systematic random sampling technique was used to select a total of 1046 case records of pregnant women registered for ante-natal care at Lagos Island Maternity Hospital, Lagos, Nigeria, between 2005 and 2009. Socio-demographic characteristics of the mothers, prevalence of anemia and PIH, and neonatal health profile were obtained from the case records and were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson product moment correlation was used to show the relationship (P≤0.05) between maternal complications and neonatal health profile. Majority (68.8%) of the mothers had anemia and 6.7 % had PIH. Majority (97.12%) of the neonates were live births and 2.88% of the neonates were still births, 65.4% of the women with still birth pregnancy outcome had anemia, and 34.6% had PIH. Majority (74%) of the neonates had birth weight within normal range (2.5-4.0 kg) and majority (68%) had normal Apgar score at 5 min of birth (7- 10). A positive correlation existed between the packed cell volume of the mother and the birth weight of the neonates (r=0.740, P≤0.05). A negative correlation existed between the incidence of PIH and the birth weight of the neonates (r=

ABSTRACT Background Randomized trials have reported that supplementation with n–3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) in pregnancy can prolong pregnancy and thereby increase birth weight. Objective We aimed to examine the relations of n–3 LCPUFA supplementation in pregnancy with duration of pregnancy, birth weight, and size for gestational age (GA). Methods This was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted in 736 pregnant women and their offspring, from the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood2010cohort. They were recruited between weeks 22 and 26 in pregnancy and randomly assigned to either of 2.4 g n–3 LCPUFA or control (olive oil) daily until 1 wk after birth. Exclusion criteria were endocrine, cardiovascular, or nephrologic disorders and vitamin D supplementation intake >600 IU/d. In this study we analyzed secondary outcomes, and further excluded twin pregnancies and extrauterine death. The primary outcome for the trial was persistent wheeze or asthma. Results The random assignment ran between 2008 and 2010. Six hundred and ninety-nine mother-infant pairs were included in the analysis. n–3 LCPUFA compared with control was associated with a 2-d prolongation of pregnancy [median (IQR): 282 (275–288) d compared with 280 (273–286) d, P = 0.02], a 97-g higher birth weight (mean ± SD: 3601 ± 534 g compared with 3504 ± 528 g, P = 0.02), and an increased size for GA according to the Norwegian population-based growth curves-Skjærven (mean ± SD: 49.9 ± 28.3 percentiles compared with 44.5 ± 27.6 percentiles, P = 0.01). Conclusion Supplementing pregnant women with n–3 LCPUFAs during the third trimester is associated with prolonged gestation and increased size for GA, leading to a higher birth weight in this randomized controlled trial. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00798226.

 Latar Belakang: Anemia dalam kehamilan mempengaruhi lebih dari 500 juta wanita dalam masa kehamilan, yang nantinya dapat dikaitkan dengan gangguan pada ibu dan bayi. Suplementasi zat besi selama masa kehamilan diberikan secara terus menerus adalah alternatif yang menarik. Anemia sering terjadi akibat defisiensi zat besi dikarenakan pada ibu hamil terjadi peningkatan kebutuhan zat besi dua kali lipat akibat peningkatan volume darah tanpa ekspansi volume plasma, untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ibu (mencegah kehilangan darah pada saat melahirkan) dan pertumbuhan janin.Tujuan: Artikel ilmiah ini mencoba menelaah berdasarka studi literature hasil penelitian mengenai penggunaan tablet zat besi terhadap peningkatan berat badan lahir bayi.  Metode: Studi ini merupakan tinjauan literatur yang dilakukan dari tiga jurnal penelitian yang dilakukan di Viet Nam dan Spayol dan systematic review dari beberapa Randomized Controlled Trial yang dilakukan di cluster dan communityHasil: Beberapa penelitian menyebutkan terdapat korelasi yang erat antara anemia pada saat kehamilan dengan kematian janin, abortus, cacat bawaan, berat bayi lahir rendah, cadangan zat besi yang berkurang pada anak atau anak lahir dalam keadaan anemia gizi.Kesimpulan: Pemberian zat besi selama kehamilan selama ini diyakini  dapat mengatasi anemia dalam kehamilan untuk menghindari persalinan prematur dan perdarahan pada saat persalinan,Kata kunci :Berat badan lahir, zat besi ABSTRACT Background: Anemia in pregnancy affects more than 500 million women during pregnancy, which can later be associated with disorders of the mother and baby. Iron supplementation during pregnancy is given continuously is an attractive alternative. Anemia often occurs due to iron deficiency because in pregnant women there is a doubling of iron demand due to increased blood volume without plasma volume expansion, to meet the needs of the mother (preventing blood loss during childbirth) and fetal growth.Purpose: This scientific article tries to examine the literature based on the results of research on the use of iron tablets to increase infant birth weight.Methods: This study is a literature review conducted from three research journals conducted in Viet Nam and Spain and a systematic review of several Randomized Control Trials conducted in clusters and communities.Results: Several studies suggest that there is a close correlation between anemia during pregnancy and fetal death. , abortion, congenital defects, low birth weight, reduced iron reserves in children or children born in a state of nutritional anemia.Conclusion: The administration of iron during pregnancy is believed to be able to overcome anemia in pregnancy to avoid premature labor and bleeding during labor, Keywords: Birth weight, iron

A study was made of the incidence of gross visual impairment due to retrolental fibroplasia among infants born to residents of New York State, exclusive of New York City, in 1948 and 1949, whose birth certificates indicated birth weights of less than 2000 gm. and who survived to the age of 4 months. Information was obtained regarding 3377 infants or 92.1% of the 3667 in the group described. A total of 50 cases with gross visual defects due to retrolental fibroplasia, or an over-all incidence rate of 1.5%, was found. The incidence rates decreased from 15.9% in the birth weight group under 1000 gm. to 4.3% in 1000-1499 gm. group, and 0.7% in the 1500 to 1999 gm. group. The infants reported to have the shortest period of gestation were found to have the highest incidence, the rate in the group with a period of gestation under seven months being 7.6% as compared with a rate of 0.3% in the group whose gestation period was reported as eight months or more. Although the numbers are small and the measure of gestation as reported on the birth certificate is open to question, the incidence of the condition within each birth weight group was found to be inversely related to the length of gestation. In the 1000-1499 gm. birth weight group, for example, an incidence rate of 7.0% was found among the infants with recorded periods of gestation of less than seven months, as contrasted with a rate of 1.9% among those eight months or more. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of the condition in the group of infants for whom one or more major complications of the mother's pregnancy was reported when compared with the group of infants on whose birth certificates the statement appeared that no such complication occurred. Among infants weighing less than 1500 gm. at birth, a statistically significant variation in the incidence of the condition was found in different regions of the State. The incidence rate, adjusted for differences in weight distribution was found to be 1.7% in males and 1.2% in females. The incidence rate among infants born to mothers under 30 years of age was 1.3%, which is not significantly different from the rate of 1.9% among the infants born to mothers 30 years of age or more.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate how maternal dietary patterns and maternal/fetal cytokines are associated with birth weight and whether cytokines mediate the association. A total of 469 pregnant women and their children were recruited for this prospective study. Dietary patterns in pregnancy were identified using factor analysis of data from three consecutive 24 h dietary recalls. Maternal and umbilical blood serum cytokines (adiponectin (APN), IL-6 and interferon-γ) were measured via ELISA. Path analysis was used to explore the relationships between maternal diet, cytokines and birth weight. Four dietary patterns were identified: a mainly fruit, dairy products and poultry diet (FDP); a mainly vegetables, beans and pork diet (VBP); a mainly fish, shrimp and soup diet (FS) and a mainly tuber and egg diet (TE). Path analysis showed the order of effects of dietary patterns on birth weight was FS>FDP>TE>VBP (β=0·130, 0·109, –0·094 and 0·046, respectively). Only the TE pattern’s effect was negative. Maternal and fetal APN were positively associated with birth weight (β=0·045 and 0·226, respectively), and they mediated the association between the TE pattern and birth weight (indirect effect was 5·3 %). Maternal IL-6 was negatively associated with birth weight (β=–0·067) and mediated the association between maternal FDP and VBP patterns and birth weight (indirect effects were 10·1 and 100·0 %, respectively). All variables in the path explained 33·6 % of variation. These results suggested that maternal dietary patterns in pregnancy are associated with birth weight and mediated directly and indirectly through some maternal/fetal serum cytokines.
