Abstract
Objective: To analyze the correlation between pregnancy anemia and serum ferritin (SF) levels in Jinan area and explore methods for preventing iron deficiency. Methods: A total of 1000 pregnant women who underwent prenatal check-ups and gave birth in the hospital from January 2020 to July 2022 were selected as samples. Routine blood tests and SF detection were performed, and the number of patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in the second and third trimesters, blood routine data, and SF level data were recorded. Results: There were 160 cases (16.00%) of IDA in the second trimester and 200 cases (20.00%) in the third trimester. The erythrocyte parameters and SF levels of IDA pregnant women in the second trimester were lower than those of healthy pregnant women (P < 0.05). The incidence of IDA was higher in pregnant women with SF < 10 ng/mL than in those with SF 10–19.9 ng/mL, SF 20–29.9 ng/mL, and SF ≥ 30 ng/mL, and the lower the SF level, the higher the incidence of IDA (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in adverse pregnancy outcomes between anemic and non-anemic pregnant women among different levels of SF (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Pregnant women with low SF levels in the second and third trimesters are more prone to IDA. Active intervention can reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes and ensure the safety of mothers and babies.
