Table 1 Mean Hemoglobin concentration of mothers in reference to classification of anemia by WHO.
Maternal Hemoglobin g/dL (WHO Classification) | Mean maternal Hemoglobin g/dL | No of patients | Pearson’s correlation coefficient R | p value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Non anemic Hb > 11 g/dL | 12.17 ± 0.81 | 60 | 0.460 | p < 0.05 |
Mild anemia Hb = 10–10.9 g/dL | 10.57 ± 0.27 | 33 | 0.456 | p < 0.05 |
Moderate Anemia Hb = 7–9.9 g/dL | 9.18 ± 0.65 | 20 | 0.499 | p < 0.05 |
Severe anemia Hb < 7 g/dL | ………. | 1 | ……. | ……… |
