Paper Title:
A comparative study to assess placental weight between anemic pregnant women and non anemic pregnant women and correlate the placental weight with baby`s weight at selected hospital, Lucknow
Abstract- Placental weight is a crucial determinant of fetal growth and development, and anemia during pregnancy has been linked to variations in placental weight, potentially impacting baby weight. This study aimed to compare placental weight between anemic and non-anemic pregnant women and examine its correlation with baby weight in a selected hospital in Lucknow. A comparative study was conducted at Veerangana Avanti Bai Mahila Chikitsalaya, Lucknow, using a quantitative research approach. A total of 100 participants, including 50 anemic and 50 non-anemic pregnant women, were selected through convenience sampling. Information were collected through interview method under two section, Section A consists of socio demographic information such as (age, parity, family income, type of family, educational status, occupation, food habit, living area, HB Level) and Section B consists of biological information such as (placental weight, membranes of placenta, diameter of placenta, umbilical cord length, cord insertion, umbilical cord artery, umbilical cord vein, thickness of placenta, number of cotyledons, baby weight), with statistical analysis performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including the unpaired t-test and chi-square test. The results revealed a significant difference in baby weight between anemic and non-anemic women, with non-anemic women having a higher mean baby weight of 2949.38 grams (± 427.32) compared to anemic women, who had a lower mean baby weight of 2574.50 grams (± 360.47), a difference that was statistically significant (t-test value = 4.742, p = 0.000). Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between placental weight and baby weight, with non-anemic women exhibiting a higher mean placental weight than anemic women. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that maternal anemia significantly affects placental weight, which in turn influences baby weight. These findings emphasize the critical role of maternal nutrition and hemoglobin levels in ensuring optimal fetal growth and development, highlighting the need for effective nutritional and medical interventions to address anemia in pregnancy and improve pregnancy outcomes.
