Özet
Aim: The aim was to evaluate the incidence of iron deficiencyanemia in pregnancy in the East Marmara region of Turkey in orderto determine its prevalence along with the effects and associationsof iron supplementation on maternal and neonatal outcomes.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in sixcenters and included a total of 1102 pregnant women.Blood samples were collected for hematological status andserum ferritin levels during pregnancy, and the adversematernal and perinatal outcomes were determined. Irondeficiency anemia was diagnosed according to the WorldHealth Organization criteria as hemoglobin level of < 11g/dl and ferritin level of <15 ?g/dL.Results: The rate of anemia was 19.8%, with 44% of themreceiving iron supplementation. The maternal age was lower in theanemic group (26.5 vs. 27.7, p = 0.01). Selective iron use wasmore frequent in the anemic group, while routine iron use wasmore frequent in the non-anemic group (47.1% vs. 29.3%; p =0.01).Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia is a frequent problem inpregnancy. However, many anemic pregnant women do notreceive iron therapy. Iron supplementation may have positiveeffects on maternal and perinatal outcomes. In order to combat irondeficiency anemia in pregnancy, wide spread use of ironsupplements should be established.
