Abstract:
Objectives: Calculate the frequency of anemia during pregnancy, describe the epidemiological profile and describe the management of anemia during pregnancy in the gynecology-obstetrics Department of the Labé regional hospital.
Methodology: This was a prospective, descriptive study lasting six (6) months from September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 All pregnant women who developed anemia and treated were considered for the study in the service. All pregnant women without anemia were included. Our data were analyzed by Epi-Info version 7.2.2.6 software, entered and presented by Pack office 2016 software.
Results: The frequency of anemia in pregnant women was 27.61% in the department. The epidemiological profile of anemia in pregnant women at the Labé regional hospital was that of: a woman aged 25-29 (30.63%), housewives (72.97%), women not attending school (66, 67 %.), those Coming from the rural areas (76.58%), married women (100%), pauciparous (29.73%) and only 14.42% did not carry out an antenatal consultation. The anemia occurred in the 3rd trimester (76.58 %,). The main reason for consultation was paleness of the conjunctivae and integuments (92.79%) and malaria the dominant antecedent (60.36%). Severe anemia was the most dominant clinical form (54.96%). Transfusion was performed in 54.95% of women with anemia. The average length of stay was 4.9 days with extremes of 1 and 10 days. The maternal prognosis was favorable in 96.40% with a maternal death rate of 3.60%.
Conclusion: Anemia is a major problem for pregnant women in the Gynecology-Obstetrics department at the Labé regional hospital. The improvement of the maternal prognosis would pass by chemoprophylaxis of malaria, the use of impregnated mosquito nets with long-lasting insecticide (LLINs), the prevention of intestinal parasitoses, the regular administration of iron, folic acid and the provision of quality prenatal consultation.
