Abstract
MR diffusion and MR dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences in the characterization of ovarian tumors
Highlights
low birth weight (LBW) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as birth weight of a live born infant of less than 2500 g regardless of gestational age (WHO & UNICEF, 2013)
As regard interpregnancy interval (IPI), our results revealed that 64.75% of LBW cases were born to mothers who had IPI of less than 3 years; this result was similar to result of the study that was conducted in two urban primary health care (PHC) centers in Fayoum district, which found that LBW was significantly related to short IPI (Mahfouz et al, 2018)
The current study showed that maternal working status, passive smoking, short IPI, history of preterm, twin pregnancy and preterm labor (PTB) were risk factors for LBW
Summary
LBW is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as birth weight of a live born infant of less than 2500 g regardless of gestational age (WHO & UNICEF, 2013). A large body of work shows links between LBW and all-cause mortality, developmental disabilities, and diminished respiratory functionning later in life in developing and developed countries (Schieve et al, 2016). More than 20 million infants, representing 15.5% of all births, are born with LBW; 95.6% of them lived in developing countries, accounting for 17% of all births in developing countries (Gebremedhin, 2015). Several risk factors have been found to be associated with LBW, including maternal age, ethnicity, lifestyle maternal characteristics such as smoking and alcohol consumption, education level, working conditions, access to obstetric observation, diabetes mellitus, mental stress and depression, body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy and additional weight-gain during pregnancy (Goldenberg et al, 2008)
