Since the level of significance (0.230) is bigger than
0.05, we accept the hypothesis and conclude that
“There exists no significant relationship, in the
significance level 0.05, between taking iron during
pregnancy and gestational age in the delivery.
Simple Linear Regression model: between
taking iron during pregnancy and
gestational age in the delivery.
B t
Supplementation of anemic or no
anemic pregnant women with (IDA)
does not appear to increase birth
weight or the duration of gestation.
(Rasmussen, K, 2001).
A negative association between
anemia and duration of gestation and
low birth weight has been reported in
the majority of studies, although a
causal link remains to be proven.
(Allen, LH. 2000).
Finally; we reject our hypothesis,
and found that their was no causal
relationship between maternal – iron
deficiency anemia & birth outcomes.
Limitation of the study
First, there is a chance of recall bias in the
process of gathering data. Given low
income and low socioeconomic status of
the pregnant women of this study, it was
not feasible to carry out longitudinal
studies.
Second, it is difficult to determine the
prevalence of maternal iron deficiency in
the pregnant women because of the criteria
used to define iron deficiency.
Third; our result indicate that the third
trimester of pregnancy have no affect on
birth outcomes, but it doesn’t measure the
effect of the second or first trimester
pregnancy .
Prescribe 30 mg of supplemental
iron per day when the hemoglobin
concentration is 11.0 g/dl.
