To Study Effect of Maternal Haemoglobin on Baby Birth Weight and Apgar Score
Abstract: Background: Maternal anaemia remains common in pregnancy and may compromise placental oxygen delivery, fetal growth and neonatal adaptation. Objective: To determine the association of maternal haemoglobin concentration with neonatal birth weight, APGAR scores and early neonatal outcomes among term singleton births. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 283 women with singleton pregnancies delivered at 37-40 weeks in a government tertiary-care hospital in Bikaner. Maternal haemoglobin was classified as normal (≥11 g/dL), mild anaemia (9.0-10.9 g/dL), moderate anaemia (7.0-8.9 g/dL) or severe anaemia (
