چکیده مقاله:

Background and Aim: Low birth weight (LBW) is an effective factor in neonatal mortality and morbidity. Growth retardation and subsequent chronic diseases are other complications of LBW. The goal of this study is to determine prevalence and related factors of LBW in Rafsanjan city in in 2016. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated all live births born in Niknafas Rafsanjan Maternity Hospital, the main maternity hospital in the city, and other delivery centers, from March 2016 to 2017. Data were collected from the Iranian maternal and neonatal online system, one of the main sources of information for assessing the health status of Iranian mothers and neonates. This online system contains online information about Iranian mothers and neonates. The information was analyzed in two stages using univariate, and multivariate logistic regression model, to control the effect of confounding variables. Results: The prevalence of LBW was 9.7% in Iranian population of which 4.5% had a gestational age of 37 weeks and more. In non-Iranian population, prevalence of LBW was 13.8% and the percent of gestational age of 37 and more with weight under 2500 gram is 6.7. The main risk factor was gestational age under 37. Other important variables in this study that had significant effects after controlling for the confounding were age over 35 years, gestational age of ≥37 weeks, addiction, Abortion history, Place of living, Maternal educational Level, infant’s gender and delivery type. Conclusion: Although our results confirm LBW prevalence and risk factors of other studies, this study suggest to run population based and prospective studies for recognition other risk factors and designing effective plans for LBW reduction.
