Abstract :

Background and aim:Delivery of low birth weight newborn is one of the main causes of neonatal mortality.The prevalence and its risk factors are different in each community. With identification of cause we can reduce incidance of LBW. The aim of this study is to evaluate, prevalence of LBW and determining of proportion intra uterine growth retardation to premature and some maternal LBW risk factors. Materials and methods:This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted in one year on newborn with LBW in Mashad 22 Bahaman hospital, at beginning of birth, all neonatal being weight.Target population in our study were neonatal with birth weight, less than 2500 gram.Then neonatal and maternal data and Newballard table completed for them. Data were statistically analyzed by SPSS, Pearson's Chi Square,Fishers Exact and T-test. Findings:Out of 866 newborn, 143 were LBW which prevalence was 16/5 percent. The proportion of preterm neonate to IUGR was 3 times.The study of risk factors indicate, significant difference between premature delivery history (p=0/0449),neonatal congenital malformation (p=0/0389) and APGAR score(p= 0/0041).In other variables of our study such as maternal demographic information, gestation rank prenatal health care, pregnancy weight gaining, chronic diseases and gestational infection and drug consumption, previous low birth weight history and neonatal gender and multiple births, there is no significantly difference. Conclusion:According to results this study suggested that: with controlling of LBW influence factors we can reduce LBW prevalence and morbidity &mortality.Also with execution of heath education program and improve quality of pregnancy care and undertaking of high risk groups. There are good strategy for neonatal health status.
