The Significance of Maternal and Fetal Risk Factors in Determining Low Birth Weight Perspectives from Obstetrics and Gynecology
Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Iraq by collecting demographic information and data on 120 Iraqi pregnant women patients, targeting risk factors for pregnant women, and conducting logistic analysis to find out what factors pose a risk to women. In this study, (exchange cards, date of birth, and growth history of newborns) were collected between 2023 and 2024.
