Abstract

Objective: Prevalence of LOW BIRTH WEIGHT deliveries may vary across different environments. The necessity of determination of regional data prompted this study. Methods: Information of all deliveries from January 2004 to December 2008 was obtained from delivery registry records retrospectively. Initial data including birth weight, vital status, sex, maternal age and mode of delivery were recorded using medical files. The frequency of LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, very LOW BIRTH WEIGHT, extremely LOW BIRTH WEIGHT and STILLBIRTH deliveries were determined.Findings: Among 19,533 total births, there were 450 (23.04 per 1000) STILLBIRTHs. LOW BIRTH WEIGHT rate was 10.61%. A significant increase in yearly distribution of LOW BIRTH WEIGHT deliveries was observed (P<0.001). Very LOW BIRTH WEIGHT and extremely LOW BIRTH WEIGHT delivery rates were 3.14% and 1.58% respectively. Among 2073 LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTs, 333 (16.06%) were STILLBIRTHs. The STILLBIRTH delivery rate and the birth of a female INFANT among LOW BIRTH WEIGHT deliveries were significantly higher than INFANTs with birth weight ³2500g (P<0.001, OR=28.37), (P<0.001) retrospectively. There was no statistical difference between LOW BIRTH WEIGHT and maternal age. The rate of cesarean section among LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTs was 49.4%.Conclusion: High LOW BIRTH WEIGHT and STILLBIRTH rates, as well as the increase in LOW BIRTH WEIGHT deliveries over the past five years in this study are striking. For reduction of increased LOW BIRTH WEIGHT rates, appropriate intervention methods should be initiated.
