Methods: In a cross-sectional research, all mothers who had given birth at Bahar hospital from 2013 to 2015 were recruited in the study. The information of the mothers and neonates was extracted from their records. Data were analyzed using SPSS16 and t-test and Chi-square tests.

There was a significant relationship between Low birth weight and the mothers who were under 18 years, maternal Addiction, and type of delivery (Pvalue=0. 001). Also, there was a significant relationship between Preterm labor and prevalence of LBW, and the need to revive and hospitalization of baby in NICU (Pvalue=0. 001).
