Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows prevalence of low birth weight linked to antenatal care and maternal nutrition.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of low birth weight was found to be 33%, indicating a significant public health concern for neonatal outcomes.
  • Inadequate antenatal visits, less than four, showed a significant association with low birth weight, with a p-value of 0.0002.
  • This study employed a hospital-based cross-sectional design over three months, examining 125 mother-infant pairs.
  • Strengthening prenatal services and improving maternal nutrition may significantly reduce low birth weight prevalence, as indicated by the findings.
