Nutrition services and education, provided as components of normal prenatal care, have a key role in preventing preterm delivery and low birth weight (LBW). To determine the influence of these components on a woman's risk of having a LBW infant, the authors examined groups of patients who were receiving the services. Bivariate analyses were made of 9,024 prenatal charts of single births. Most women received nutrition education, prescriptions for nutrient supplements, screenings for anemia, and dietary assessments. A greater proportion of the women at high risk received the interventions than did women at lower risk. The presence of educational components and assays for anemia were associated with a lower risk of a LBW delivery in the total group and in the high risk groups.
作为正常产前护理组成部分提供的营养服务和教育,在预防早产和低出生体重(LBW)方面起着关键作用。为了确定这些组成部分对女性生出低出生体重婴儿风险的影响,作者对接受这些服务的患者群体进行了检查。对9024份单胎出生的产前病历进行了双变量分析。大多数女性接受了营养教育、营养补充剂处方、贫血筛查和饮食评估。与低风险女性相比,高风险女性接受干预的比例更高。教育组成部分和贫血检测的存在与整个群体和高风险群体中低出生体重分娩的较低风险相关。
