Haemoglobin Concentrations and Maternal and Neonatal Outcomes: Identifying Optimal Haemoglobin Ranges

Key Points

• The study aims to determine the optimal haemoglobin concentrations that positively affect maternal and neonatal outcomes.
• Investigated haemoglobin concentrations during the second and third trimesters
• Analyzed maternal and neonatal outcomes in relation to haemoglobin levels
• Identified optimal haemoglobin range of 10.5-12.5 g/dL
• Found a U-shaped relationship between haemoglobin concentrations and outcomes
• Determined 10.5-12.5 g/dL as the optimal range for maternal and neonatal health
• Highlighted the need for multicentre studies to validate findings
