Anaemia is a significant global health problem, especially, in developing nations like Ethiopia. Despite increasing rates over the past two decades, there is limited research on the specific prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in the country.
To identify hotspot areas of anaemia-associated factors among pregnant women in Ethiopia.
Cross-sectional.
Ethiopian demographic study from 2005 to 2016.
This study analysed 3350 pregnant women.
Hotspot area of anaemia among pregnant women, trend of anaemia and associated factors.
The prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women has shown significant fluctuations over the years. Between 2005 and 2011, there was a notable decrease from 30.9% to 21.5% while the prevalence increased from 21.5% in 2011 to 29.58% in 2016. The identified determinants of anaemia among pregnant women were female-headed household, belonging to the highest wealth quintile, being in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, being a working woman and residing in the Somalia region. Hotspot areas, where the prevalence of anaemia was particularly high, were identified in Somalia, Dire Dawa, Afar and Harari regions.
Anaemia during pregnancy is a major public health concern in Ethiopia, with a concerning increase between 2011 and 2016. Hotspot areas like Somali, Dire Dawa, Afar and Harari are particularly affected. Shockingly, nearly one in three pregnant women in Ethiopia suffer from anaemia. To address this issue effectively, targeted interventions prioritising economically disadvantaged households and pregnant women in their second and third trimesters are crucial. Monitoring spatial patterns and contributing factors is vital to develop tailored interventions and improve maternal health outcomes in these high-risk areas. By strategically targeting hotspot areas nationwide, significant progress can be made in reducing anaemia among pregnant women.
贫血是一个严重的全球健康问题，尤其是在像埃塞俄比亚这样的发展中国家。尽管在过去的二十年中贫血的发病率一直在上升，但关于该国孕妇贫血的具体患病率的研究有限。
确定埃塞俄比亚孕妇贫血相关因素的热点地区。
横断面研究。
2005 年至 2016 年期间的埃塞俄比亚人口研究。
本研究分析了 3350 名孕妇。
孕妇贫血的热点地区、贫血趋势和相关因素。
孕妇贫血的患病率多年来呈显著波动。2005 年至 2011 年，患病率从 30.9%显著下降至 21.5%，而 2011 年至 2016 年，患病率从 21.5%增加至 29.58%。孕妇贫血的确定因素是女性为户主、属于最高财富五分位数、处于妊娠第二或第三阶段、是职业妇女和居住在索马里地区。在索马里、德雷达瓦、阿法尔和哈拉里地区确定了贫血患病率特别高的热点地区。
怀孕期间贫血是埃塞俄比亚的一个主要公共卫生问题，2011 年至 2016 年期间令人担忧地增加。索马里、德雷达瓦、阿法尔和哈拉里等热点地区尤其受到影响。令人震惊的是，埃塞俄比亚近三分之一的孕妇患有贫血。为了有效解决这个问题，需要优先考虑经济困难的家庭和妊娠第二和第三阶段的孕妇，进行有针对性的干预措施。监测空间模式和促成因素对于制定有针对性的干预措施和改善这些高风险地区的孕产妇健康结果至关重要。通过在全国范围内有针对性地针对热点地区，可在降低孕妇贫血方面取得重大进展。
