ABSTRACT
Abstract

Objectives:

to determine the relationship between maternal hemoglobin (HbM) per gestational trimester and birthweight (BW).

Methods:

this was an analytical, cross-sectional observational study that included the prenatal records of494 pregnant women who delivered live newborns in the Department of Antioquia. The maternal health data collected included HbM and BW, and gynecological and obstetric, anthropometric, and maternal health-related data. The Mann-Whitney U test was applied, supplemented by effect size (ES) to compare the study groups.

Results:

HbMin the third trimester was significantly associated with BW (p=0.029).It showed a significant effect size on BW as follows first trimester ES=0.44 (CI95%= 0.183-0.697); second trimester ES=0.49 (CI95%= 0.187-0.79); and third trimester ES=0.43 (CI95% = 0.202-0.658). Maternal anemia was 4.2%>, 11.2%, and 21.4%> in the first, second, and third trimester, respectively.

Conclusions:

as it is an inexpensive indicator and easy to determine, the timely monitoring and assessment of HbM is required owing to its importance in maternal and neonatal health, quality of life, and human capital development.
RESUMEN
Resumen

Objetivos:

determinar la relación entre hemoglobina materna (HbM) por trimestre de gestación y peso al nacer (PN).

Métodos:

estudio observacional analítico, transversal, en 494 historias prenatales de gestantes con recién nacido vivo del departamento de Antioquia. Se tomaron datos de HbMy PN, ginecobstétricos, antropométricos y de salud materna. Para comparar los grupos de estudio, se aplicó la prueba U-Mann Whitney, complementada con el tamaño de efecto (ES).

Resultados:

la HbM de tercer trimestre se asoció significativamente con el PN (p=0,029); la HbM mostró un tamaño de efecto importante sobre el PN, así primer trimestre ES=0,44 (IC95%= 0,183 a 0,697); segundo trimestre ES=0,49 (IC95%= 0,187 a 0,79); tercer trimestre ES=0,43 (IC95%o= 0,202 a 0,658). La anemia materna fue 4,2°%, 11,2%o y 21,4°% en el primero, segundo y tercer trimestre, respectivamente.

Conclusiones:

Se necesita seguimiento y evaluación oportuna de la HbM, indicador de bajo costo y fácil determinación, por su importancia en la salud materna y neonatal, en la calidad de vida y desarrollo del capital humano.
