Abstract :

 INTRODUCTION  :Anaemia is one of the most preventable nutritional deficiency problem afflicting pregnant women in developing countries. Severe anaemia in pregnancy carries significant risk to mother and fetus. During the last two decades significant knowledge has been gained about the effect of iron deficiency anaemia on work capacity, work performance, muscle function, resistance to infection. However, information on the effects of the maternal anaemia during pregnancy on the fetal outcome has been meagre and conflicting. Hence we conducted a study to look into these aspects.OBJECTIVE:1)To study the relationship between maternal anaemia and perinatal outcome . 2)To highlight the importance of the antenatal care regarding maternal and fetal health.METHOD AND MATERIAL: 100 pregnant women admitted for the delivery having Hb less than 10gm/dl (cases) and 100 women admitted for delivery having Hb more than 10gm/dl (control) matched for age, parity, booked/unbooked and gestational age, to analyse the adverse pregnancy outcome in the form of low birth weight, low APGAR SCORE at 1 min and perinatal  outcom.RESULT:Perinatal outcome include preterm delivery, low APGAR SCORE at 1min and preinatal mortality higher in study group  in comparison to control  group. There is direct correlation between maternal anaemia and low birth weight.
