Association of some determinants with high/low birth weight

Aims: both weight-related neonatal conditions (low birth weight-LBW and high birth weight-HBW have risks for the short and long term outcome of the babies, in different sense. The main goal of the antenatal and perinatal management is to achieve optimal birth weight, optimal health condition of the baby and the most appropriate intrapartal management to prevent any impairment. Aim: to investigate the correlation between some determinants and the low/high birth weight of the infants. This was an epidemiological study, correlating the obstetric determinants: age of the mother, parity, sex of the infant, weight gai…
