Pregnancy Anaemia in India
The 2nd most common cause of maternal deaths in India
(reference)
Definition
“The Quantitative or qualitative reduction of Haemoglobin (Hb) or
circulating the RBCs or both resulted in decreased level of oxygen carrying
capacity of the body” (Chowdhury, Rahman & Moniruddin, 2014)
WHO
- Haemoglobin (Hb) content less than 11gm/dl & hematocrit <33%
- Postpartum haemoglobin less than 100gm/dl
CDC definition
- Hb < 11gm/dl- 1st and 3rd trimesters
- <10..5gm/dl- 2nd trimesters

Pregnancy Anaemia
Cause of:
• Premature birth
• Cardiac failure of the mother
• Abruption
• Maternal deaths
• Stillbirths of babies
• Preeclampsia
• Reduces the tolerating power of bleeding during the child birth.
• Uterine atony
• Infections
• Behavioural abnormalities
• Adult onset HTN
• Low birthweight
• Cognitive dysfunction (World Health Organisation, 2016).

Burden of disease
• In the period between 1995 and 2011, pregnancy anemia
was the leading cause of about 68.4 million years of deaths
and disability (YLD) among women globally (Siddiqui et al.,
2017).
• It results in adverse affects on both the child and maternal
health outcomes right from low birth weight, Preeclampsia,
cognitive dysfunction, neonatal, maternal mortality etc.

Rates of
Pregnan
cy
anaemia
in India
In India, about 20% of the total maternal
deaths are because of Anemia (Anand et
al., 2014).
80% of the maternal death due to
pregnancy anaemia (Chowdhury,
Rahman & Moniruddin, 2014).
About 50.4% of pregnant women were
found to be Anemic in the year 2016 in
India as per the report of NFHS
