Abstract

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the association between prenatal care visits and infant birthweight among ethnic minority mothers in the mountainous Bac Kan province. This was done by comparing the frequency and timing of first prenatal care visit of 32 mothers with low birthweight (LBW) infants and 32 mothers with normal birthweight (NBW) infants. During pregnancy, mothers of NBW infants underwent 3.4+/-1 (mean) prenatal care visits and mothers of LBW infants 2.8+/-0.9 (P = 0.02). Mothers of NBW infants underwent their first prenatal care visit at 13.1+/-5.7 weeks of gestation, one week earlier than mothers of LBW infants. The frequency of prenatal care visit are probably associated with a decreased risk of LBW among ethnic minority mothers in Bac Kan province.

摘要

这项横断面研究的目的是评估越南北件省山区少数民族母亲的产前检查次数与婴儿出生体重之间的关联。研究通过比较32名低出生体重（LBW）婴儿的母亲和32名正常出生体重（NBW）婴儿的母亲首次产前检查的频率和时间来进行。孕期，NBW婴儿的母亲平均进行了3.4±1次产前检查，LBW婴儿的母亲平均进行了2.8±0.9次产前检查（P = 0.02）。NBW婴儿的母亲在妊娠13.1±5.7周时进行了首次产前检查，比LBW婴儿的母亲早一周。产前检查的频率可能与北件省少数民族母亲低出生体重风险的降低有关。
