Study of Severe Iron Deficiency Anaemia During Labour

Key Points

To investigate the effects of severe iron deficiency anemia during labor on pregnancy outcomes.
Analyzed iron deficiency prevalence among pregnant women during labor.
Examined outcomes related to severe anemia, focusing on postpartum hemorrhage.
Reviewed dietary iron intake and its bioavailability among expectant mothers.
Identified a high prevalence of severe iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women during labor.
Reported increased risks of adverse outcomes, particularly postpartum hemorrhage.
Highlighted poor dietary iron intake as a contributing factor to anemia.

Abstract

Anemia among pregnant women is a serious global health concern, iron deficiency anemia being the most common cause of anemia. Iron deficiency is common during pregnancy due to increased iron requirement which is not easily fulfilled by dietary intake especially when iron bio availability is poor. Severe iron deficiency anemia during labour has adverse labour outcomes, postpartum haemorrhage being the most common and serious adverse outcome.
