Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the perinatal outcome in pregnancies with different levels of hemoglobin/hematocrit to verify which category of women should have iron supplementation if not all.
Detailed Description
Anaemia in pregnant women has been reported to have various adverse effects on both the mother and unborn foetus. These effects include preterm birth, a low birth weight and an increase in the risk of maternal and perinatal mortality . Postpartum anaemia impairs wound healing, increases the risk for readmission and/or prolonged hospitalization, and increases the cost of care for families . Some investigators stated adverse perinatal outcome in pregnant mothers with high haemoglobin and haematocrit values and raised a question about the possible harmful effect of iron supplementation in such pregnancies.
