This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) and its related risk factors in an appropriate sample of neonates in Shahroud, northeast Iran.
At this study, a random sample of 1000 neonates were selected of which 72 neonates were LBWs. We used univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods to evaluate the LBW risk factors in LBWs compared to normal weight infants.
7.2% of neonates were LBWs and 6.1% born before 37 weeks of gestation. Prematurity, high-risk pregnancy and maternal age have significant statistical association with LBW. Odds Ratio (OR) for prematurity was 42.82 (95%CI; 21.93-83.57), for high risk pregnancy 2.76 (95%CI; 1.47-5.19) and for maternal age group more than 35 years in comparison to 19-35 years age group 0.2 (95%CI; 0.05-0.71).
Based on this study; prematurity and high risk pregnancy were the most important risk factors for LBW. There was also a reverse association between maternal age and LBW.
本研究旨在确定伊朗东北部沙赫鲁德地区适当样本的新生儿低出生体重(LBW)患病率及其相关危险因素。
在本研究中,随机抽取1000名新生儿,其中72名新生儿为低出生体重儿。我们使用单变量和多变量逻辑回归方法,将低出生体重儿与正常体重婴儿进行比较,评估低出生体重的危险因素。
7.2%的新生儿为低出生体重儿,6.1%在妊娠37周前出生。早产、高危妊娠和产妇年龄与低出生体重有显著的统计学关联。早产的比值比(OR)为42.82(95%CI;21.93 - 83.57),高危妊娠为2.76(95%CI;1.47 - 5.19),与19 - 35岁年龄组相比,35岁以上产妇年龄组的OR为0.2(95%CI;0.05 - 0.71)。
基于本研究,早产和高危妊娠是低出生体重最重要的危险因素。产妇年龄与低出生体重之间也存在反向关联。
