Introduction:
Malaria in pregnancy (MIP) is a major public health problem, with considerable risks for the mother, fetus and newborn. This study assessed the effectiveness of preventive measures against malaria and the effect of malaria on immediate neonatal outcome (INO) in parturient in the Do health district.
Methods:
This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from November to December 2022. Clinical data on women and newborns were collected. Factors associated with the occurrence of malaria and INO were investigated using logistic regression.
Results:
We enrolled 250 parturient with a median age of 25 years. The use of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) reduced the risk of gestational malaria (OR = 0.25 [0.06-0.99], p=0.049). The INO was favorable in 85.20% of cases and hospitalization for malaria compromised the INO (OR = 11.23 [2.49-50.56] p=0.002).
Conclusion:
The emphasis must be on prevention through the use of LLINs and the introduction of effective, early treatment in the event of malaria.
