Abstract IntroductionIn Ethiopia, the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women differs geographically and ranged from 15.8–56.8%. The objective of this study is to identify the determinants of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal care in health facilities of Bale-Robe Town, Southeast Ethiopia.MethodsA facility-based case-control study was conducted in Bale-Robe hospital and Baha-biftu health center in Bale-Robe, Southeast Ethiopia. A total of 282 pregnant women participated in the study (141 cases and 141 controls). Cases were pregnant women with altitude-adjusted hemoglobin value < 11.0 g/dl at the first and third trimesters, and < 10.5 g/dl at the second trimester. Controls were pregnant women with hemoglobin value ≥ 11.0 g/dl at first and third trimesters and ≥ 10.5 g/dl at the second trimester. A structured and pretested questionnaire was used to collect data. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the determinants of anemia. Determinants were categorized as sociodemographic and economic, obstetric and medical, and dietary intake and behavioral.ResultsHousewife occupation (AOR=2.1, 95% CI=1.12-3.92), prolonged menstrual bleeding (AOR=2.33, 95% CI=1.38-3.92) and undernutrition (AOR=4.03, 95% CI=1.38-11.83) were factors significantly associated with anemia in pregnant women.ConclusionHousewife occupation, prolonged menstrual bleeding, and malnutrition were the determinants of anemia in pregnant women. Hence, anemia prevention and control strategy in pregnant women should include adequate dietary intake, and strengthening nutritional counseling for pregnant women during antenatal care is also required by the health care provider.

Background: First trimester bleeding is one of the common complications during pregnancy which affects almost 16-25% of all pregnancies. To evaluate and ascertain the adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnant women presenting with first trimester vaginal bleeding.Methods: Prospective case-control study. A case control study involving 60 pregnant women with vaginal bleeding in the first 13 weeks + 6 days of gestational age with 60 matched controls. The study period was from March 2015 to March 2016 and conducted at PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.Results: The complications seen in the study group were: first trimester abortion (16.7%), second trimester abortion (6.7%), preterm labour (25%), abruption (6.7%), neonatal intensive care admission (25%), ectopic (6.7%), IUGR (10%), IUD (1.7%) and PROM (8.3%). When compared with the parity matched controls there was statistically significant increase in first and second trimester abortions, preterm labour, abruption, NICU admission and ectopic pregnancy whereas there was no significant difference between the two groups with regard to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and intrauterine death (IUD).Conclusions: Women with first trimester vaginal bleeding had several adverse outcomes in both the mother and the fetus, and it is very important to explain about the possibility of these outcomes and ensure proper follow up with close antenatal surveillance.

Background. Anemia is a major public health problem in both developed and developing countries especially among pregnant women. Nearly half of pregnant women in Ethiopia have anemia which has both health and economic impacts. Therefore, this study is aimed at identifying nutritional-related predictors of anemia among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Central Ethiopia, 2019. Methods. An unmatched case-control study was conducted at public hospitals in Central Ethiopia from February to April 2019. The consecutive sampling technique was used to select study participants. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire, and the collected data were entered into Epi Info version 7 and SPSS version 23 for analysis. Binary and multiple logistic regression analyses were computed to identify predictors of anemia. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and p value < 0.05 was used to determine the presence of an association. Result. A total of 426 pregnant women (142 cases and 284 controls) had participated in this study. Taking tea/coffee immediately after food ( AOR = 2.35 , 95% CI: 1.39-3.99), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of mothers of <23 centimeters ( AOR = 3.83 , 95% CI: 2.26-6.49), the presence of forbidden food during pregnancy ( AOR = 2.21 , 95% CI: 1.24-3.88), not taking additional food ( AOR = 1.99 , 95% CI: 1.17-3.40), unable to take fruit ( AOR = 4.05 , 95% CI: 1.3-15.47), loss of appetite ( AOR = 2.28 , 95% CI: 1.28-4.09), low dietary diversity score (DDS) ( AOR = 3.29 , 95% CI: 1.83-5.90), and medium DDS ( AOR = 2.88 , 95% CI: 1.46-5.70) were found to be determinants of anemia. Conclusions. Taking tea or coffee immediately after food, MUAC of mothers, the presence of forbidden food, not taking additional food, frequency of taking fruit, and dietary diversity were predictors of anemia among pregnant women. Therefore, interventions targeted at prevention of anemia among pregnant mothers should emphatically consider those identified determinants. This finding also highlights the need for strong nutritional counseling to prevent anemia among pregnant mothers during antenatal care follow-ups along with other interventions.

AbstractThe aim was to investigate whether first trimester glycodelin and angiopoietin-2 can predict small-for-gestational age (SGA) at delivery, individually or in combination.In this case-control study we measured glycodelin and angiopoietin-2 on serum from 170 singleton pregnant women delivering SGA neonates and 985 singleton pregnant women delivering normal-weighted neonates. All values were converted to multiples of the medians (MoM).Pregnant women delivering SGA neonates had lower first trimester glycodelin and angiopoietin-2 MoM values [median (interquartile range)] compared with pregnant women delivering normal-weighted neonates for glycodelin: 0.86 (0.58–1.24) vs. 1.03 (0.74–1.45), p<0.001, and for angiopoietin-2: 0.89 (0.69–1.19) vs. 1.01 (0.78–1.31), p<0.001. The prediction performances of the biomarkers showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) were 0.59 (glycodelin), 0.58 (angiopoietin-2), and 0.60 (glycodelin and angiopoietin-2).We demonstrated that first trimester glycodelin and angiopoietin-2 were associated with SGA, but they were, individually and in combination, poor predictors of SGA at delivery. The AUCs were low which indicate low detection rates and high false positive rates.
