Abstract
Objective: Pregnancy is a period of increased metabolic needs linked to physiological changes in the pregnant woman and the needs of the fetus. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of the variation in the nutritional blood parameters of women during childbirth on those of their newborn in Yopougon. Methods: For 28 days, 50 pregnant women who came to give birth at the maternity ward of the Yopougon Attié General Hospital were recruited, based on inclusion and non-inclusion criteria. Blood samples were taken from the women at childbirth and then from the umbilical cord. Blood samples are collected in two types of tubes. Some contain the anticoagulant EDTA for the determination of haematological parameters and the others, without anticoagulant, for the evaluation of biochemical parameters. Results: The results showed high proportions of anemia (20%) in women giving birth and (32%) in their newborns. In addition, four types of anemia which are normochromic hypochromic anemia (NHA), hypochromic microcytic anemia (AHm), hypochromic macrocytic anemia (AHM) and normochromic microcytic anemia (ANm) have been revealed in both women in childbirth than in their newborns. To these is added normochromic normocytic anemia (ANN) seen only in women during childbirth. Biochemically, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia were observed in women during childbirth, while these parameters were low in newborns. In addition, other biochemical parameters indicated higher mean values in newborns than in women giving birth. Conclusion: Ultimately the study reported high proportions of anemia, higher in newborns, the appearance of different types of anemia and significant variations in lipidemia and other biochemical parameters both in women during childbirth as newborns.
