This study was conducted to identify the determinants of low birth weight among infants born in Amhara Regional State Referral Hospitals of Ethiopia.
This study found that mothers who delivered female infants (AOR: 1.7, 95% CI 1.1, 2.6), occurrence of health problems during current pregnancy (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.7,4.5), absence of antenatal care (AOR: 2.3,95% CI 1.3,4.0), lack of iron supplementation (AOR: 2.8, 95% CI 1.6,4.9), maternal MUAC below 23 cm (AOR: 1.7, 95% CI 1.0,2.7), and gestational age below 37 completed weeks (AOR: 3.3; 95% CI 1.9, 5.7) were found to be determinants of low birth weight.
本研究旨在确定埃塞俄比亚阿姆哈拉州转诊医院出生的婴儿中低出生体重的决定因素。
本研究发现,分娩女婴的母亲(调整后比值比:1.7,95%置信区间1.1,2.6)、当前孕期出现健康问题(调整后比值比:2.8,95%置信区间1.7,4.5)、未进行产前检查(调整后比值比:2.3,95%置信区间1.3,4.0)、未补充铁剂(调整后比值比:2.8,95%置信区间1.6,4.9)、母亲的上臂中段臂围低于23厘米(调整后比值比:1.7,95%置信区间1.0,2.7)以及孕周未满37周(调整后比值比:3.3;95%置信区间1.9,5.7)是低出生体重的决定因素。
