O impacto do grau da anemia nas gestantes nos desfechos maternos e neonatais

Abstract

Iron deficiency is a common problem in pregnancy, with serious health consequences including maternal anemia, increased number of packed red blood cell transfusions, preterm labor, low birth weight, Apgar score <7 at 5 ° minute of life, increased admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, and long-term psychomotor and mental development problems in children. Anemia during pregnancy is, therefore, a very relevant issue of public health importance, but few studies have related the severity of anemia with these maternal and fetal outcomes. Therefore, we suggest a retrospective, observational, single-center and cross sectional study, which aims to demonstrate the impact of the degree of anemia in the pregnant women, when entering the maternity hospital for delivery, on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Pregnant women with anemia (Hb<11g/dL in the prenatal card) who were admitted to the Maternidade Escola Assis Chateaubriand (MEAC) for vaginal delivery or cesarean section of gestational age from 21 to 41 weeks and 6 days from January to December 2020 will be included.
