BRITO MENDEZ, Eligio Cándido; GUISADO MILANES, Severino Ramón  y  BARRERO RODRIGUEZ, Dannys. Risk factors related to low birth weight. Multimed [online]. 2023, vol.27  Epub 14-Nov-2023. ISSN 1028-4818.

Reducing low birth weight is important for better outcomes in infant mortality. That is why we set ourselves the objective of: identifying the factors associated with the risk of low birth weight, due to its increase in Río Cauto. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted, which included 51 pregnant women who had low birth weight newborns from January to December 2022. The following variables were used: gestational age at the time of delivery, health areas, live birth weight and maternal age groups, parity and pathologies detected during pregnancy. There were 528 live births and 51 had a weight of less than 2500 grams, with a rate of (9.66%); preterm delivery predominated at the Camilo Cienfuegos Polyclinic with 5 neonates (5.00%) and intrauterine growth retardation at the Ernesto Guevara Polyclinic with 14 births (9.03%); The highest percentage of underweight occurred between 20 and 34 years of age, 35 (68.63%), where the Máximo Gómez 18 polyclinic (75%) stood out. In births by age group, the rate of low birth weight was higher in patients under 20 years of age, 14 (12.84%). Nulliparous women predominated in 25 births (49.02%), anemia and pregnancy in 27 (52.94%), and vaginal discharge syndrome in 20 (39.22).
