The association of maternal anaemia with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes in Somali women: a prospective study.
Adil BarutDeka Omer MohamudPublished in: BMC women's health (2023)
Our findings suggest that anaemia in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes, with moderate or severe anaemia leading to increased risks for peri-, intra- and postpartum complications and that treatment of severe anaemia in pregnant women should be given particular consideration in our efforts to prevent preterm births, LBW and stillbirths.
