AB - Objective: To evaluate the association between maternal hemoglobin levels and perinatal outcomes. Subjects and methods: Seven hundred twenty-eight pregnant women attended in the Hospital Universitario de Canarias, Tenerife (Spain) between January and April 2004 were studied. The women were divided into three groups: women with anemia (n = 61), women with normal hemoglobin levels (n = 587) and those with hemoconcentration (n = 80). An observational retrospective study was performed. Perinatal outcomes were compared among the groups studied and the possible correlations among hemoglobin levels and perinatal variables were analyzed. Results: A significant quadratic relationship was found between maternal hemoglobin levels and both gestational age at delivery and birthweight. Multiple regression analysis showed that these variables were independent predictors of maternal hemoglobin concentration. Conclusions: Gestational age at delivery and birthweight were lower in both the anemia and hemoconcentration groups. Maternal anemia is associated with a higher risk of having a small-for-gestational-age neonate regardless of the risk of preterm delivery.
