BACKGROUND: The prevalence of anaemia is higher among women, including pregnant women. The estimation was about 24.8% of the population in the world suffering anaemia. Anaemia during pregnancy is a big problem because it can contribute morbidity and mortality, either in mother or newborn. The impacts of anaemia during pregnancy included post-partum haemorrhage, low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery, and low Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration (APGAR) score.
AIM: This study aimed to determine the correlation between haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy and the outcome of mothers and newborns.
METHODS: It was a cohort study that included 200 pregnant women in second or third trimester at antenatal care of Sundari General Hospital Outpatient Clinic on February until September 2018. The participants were interviewed using a questionnaire, and their blood was checked to measure haemoglobin concentration using portable Easy Touch Hemoglobinometer. In the next three until six months, the following investigation was conducted to assess the maternal and neonatal outcome.
RESULTS: The result of this study showed among the maternal outcome, only antepartum haemoglobin concentration had a statistically significant correlation with the haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy (p < 0.05), meanwhile, among the neonatal outcome. LBW was the only factor that statistically significantly correlated to the haemoglobin concentration during pregnancy (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: We can conclude that once anaemia occurs in pregnant women, then the women kept suffering from anaemia with its correlation was statistically significant.
