A retrospective medical chart review was undertaken of 918 adolescents who had received prenatal care at an inner-city maternity clinic between 1990 and 2000."
"Multiple log-linear regression analyses were used to address relationships between hemoglobin and adverse birth outcomes. The prevalence of anemia during the third trimester averaged 57-66% and was substantially higher than typically reported in adolescent and adult women. Multiparity, inadequate prenatal care, low prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of self-reported cigarette use, and infection with sexually transmitted diseases were significantly associated with lower hemoglobin during pregnancy," reported S.C. Chang and colleagues, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Center for Human Nutrition.
"Adolescents with pre-eclampsia had higher hemoglobin (P <0.01). Compared with the reference group (106-120 g/L), high hemoglobin (>120 g/L) during the second and third trimester significantly increased the risk of low birth weight (risk ratio (RR)=3.11; [CI] ...
