Prognosis of Anaemic Pregnant Women at the Gabriel Touré University Hospital in Bamako (Mali)

The aim was to assess the prognosis of anaemic pregnant women at the Gabriel Toure University Hospital in Bamako (Mali). Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study. It covered a period of 6 months and involved 432 patients. Results: the frequency of anaemia associated with pregnancy was 28.7% or 432 cases of anaemia among 1505 pregnant women. The mean age was 25.99 years with extremes of 15 and 45 years. Among them, the majority were housewives and constituted 77.8% of the workforce compared to only 4.9% of civil servants. The etiological factors often associated were: gestationity (3.52 with extremes of 1 and 11); primiges (29.20%); parity (3.26 with extremes of 1 and 11). The mean birth interval was 24.4 months with extremes of minus 6 months and 158 months. In 78.7% of cases, patients were transfused. The prognosis was characterized by a maternal mortality rate of 4.4% and a neonatal mortality rate of 33.3%. The mean length of hospital stay was 5.21 days. Conclusion: Anaemia in pregnant women is a pathology that causes maternal and neonatal mortality. The unavailability of blood products worsens the prognosis.
