Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Anemia associated with pregnancy is keen of interest to both the mother and the obstetrician and oral iron supplementation for iron deficiency anemia(IDA) during pregnancy is commonpiece. The purpose of this study is to compare the changes in hematologic parameters between iron supplemented and non-iron supplemented women just prior to and 24 hours after delivery. METHODS: A comparative study was conducted concerning the difference in hematologic changes between 30 iron-supplemented and non-iron-supplemented women, who have delivered at Yonsei University Medical School Yongdong Severance Hospital from 1999. 11. 1 from 2000. 1. 18. RESULTS: Between the iron-supplemented and the non-iron-supplemented group, no statistically significant difference was observed for the duration of gestation, neonatal birth weight and maternal age. However, the mean hemoglobin levels were 11.78mg% and 10.34mg% prior to delivery(p<0.001) and 10.52mg% and 9.59mg% 24 hours after delivery, respectively, thus showing a statistically significant decrease in the non-iron-supplemented group(p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Adequate iron supplementation during the antenatal period significantly improves the hematologic status of the mother.
