[Materno-Fetal Prognosis Of Anemia In Bougouni]
Goal:
The goal was to assess the maternal-fetal prognosis of anemia in pregnant women in the Bougouni reference health center.
Methods:
We carried out a prospective descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from January 1 to December 31, 2013 at the Bougouni reference health center. It covered all pregnant women with a hemoglobin level below 11g/dl regardless of the outcome of the pregnancy.
Results:
The prevalence of anemia in pregnant women was 33.2%. They were women married to peasants in 88.6% of cases, unschooled in 93.2% of cases, having not done antenal care in 56.8% of cases. Malaria was the most common etiology in 75% of cases. Anemia was severe in 61.4% of cases. The maternal-fetal prognosis was dominated by 3.3% of maternal death, 12.5% of abortion, 7.6% of prematurity and 6.8% of fetal death in utero.
Conclusion:
Anemia in pregnant women is the source of many maternal-fetal complications.
