| Summary, etc. | Abstract: <br/><br/>Low birth has been one of the major problems interfering with child health. It occurs when a child has a birth weight of less than 2500 grams. It can be due to preterm birth or a term infant being small for gestation age. It has been documented to be the major cause of morbidity among neonates. <br/><br/>The objectives of the study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with low birth weight among neonates born at Bugando medical centre hospital, Mwanza. A prospective cross sectional study was carried out among low birth weight neonates born at Bugando hospital. Sampling procedure was by convenience and a total of….neonates were recruited in the study.<br/><br/>A total of 1763 infants were enrolled in this study where 209 (10.85%) were found to have been born with low birth weight. Premature delivery was the most common reason low birth weight which was 173 (83%) of those who had low birth weight. The low birth weight was also strongly associated with multiple gestation where 99 (47%) babies were multiples, low socioeconomic status whereby 19.8% of small scale peasants had low birth weight babies. High risk pregnancy also contributed multiple independent risks. <br/><br/>Based on this study; prematurity, multiple gestation, low socioeconomic status and high risk pregnancy were the most important risk factors for LBW. There was also a association between maternal age low birth weight. <br/><br/>Antenatal care services that focus on screening for and managing factors associated with low birth weight is needed to reduce the number of low birth weight in our country. <br/> |
