Abstract
In low- and middle-income countries, 42.7% of pregnant women had experienced anemia gravidarum. While in Indonesia according to Riset Kesehatan Dasar (Riskesdas) 2018, 48.9% of pregnant women in Indonesia have anemia (Kemenkes RI, 2020). This means that 5 out of 10 of these women have anemia and are at risk to experience adverse birth outcomes, namely low birth weight, preterm birth, small gestational age, stillbirth, perinatal mortality, and neonatal mortality. Due to the many earlier research around this area, this review aims to undertake a thorough investigation into anemia gravidarum and whether, based on previous research, there is a true association with these several adverse birth outcomes. This type of research is a comprehensive research by using literature review, focusing on the correlation between anemia gravidarum as a risk factor and the incident of adverse birth outcomes from earlier studies. This research found that there is a significant correlation between anemia gravidarum and the risk of adverse birth outcomes, where the lower the mothers’ hemoglobin levels, the higher the chance of giving birth to adverse outcome babies (such as low birth weight, preterm birth, small gestational age, stillbirth, perinatal mortality, and neonatal mortality). This means that the current research a prove that up until today, current studies are still align with findings from previous research.
