Popis: Background. One of the most prevalent illnesses in the world is anemia. Anemia in pregnant women has been a pressing obstetric issue for many years and is one of the most common complications of pregnancy in the world, particularly in developing countries. Aim. To study the condition of neonates born to women with anemia during pregnancy. Methods. A retrospective analysis of 230 patients' medical records in maternity and pregnancy pathology departments. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 consisted of patients suffering from iron deficiency anemia, Group 2 comprised patients without iron deficiency anemia. Results. The height-to-weight ratio in the group of neonates born to mothers with anemia statistically was significantly lower compared to the control group. The proportion of neonates with hypotrophy in the group born to mothers with anemia statistically was significantly higher. Body length and birth condition indices assessed according to the APGAR scale were virtually identical across the groups. Conclusions. Anemia during pregnancy affects the trophism of a fetus, which is largely reflected in the health of neonates. Treating maternal anemia is important to prevent or decrease the incidence of underweight in infants at birth.
