Introduction.
Malaria is the leading cause of consultation in Guinea health facilities.
During pregnancy, it remains a major health concern causing considerable risks for mother, fetus, and newborn.
However, little is known about the epidemiology of malaria among pregnant women in Guinea.
We aimed to provide information on malaria-associated factors in parturients.
Methods.
It was a cross-sectional survey in two regional hospitals and two district hospitals.
1000 parturients and their newborns were surveyed.
All patients were interviewed, and thick and thin blood smears were examined.
To determine the predictive factors of malaria in parturients, the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) was first performed by using peripheral and placental malaria as dependent variables and sociodemographic and antenatal characteristics as independent variables; then, explanatory profile variables or clusters from these trees were included in the logistic regression models.
Results.
We found 157 (15.8%) and 148 (14.8%) cases of peripheral and placental malaria, respectively.
The regular use of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) before delivery was 53.8%, and only 35.5% used sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine doses ≥3.
Factors significantly associated with malaria were as follows: women from Forécariah and Guéckédou who did not regularly use LLINs and accomplished less than four antenatal care visits (ANC <4) and primigravid and paucigravid women who did not regularly use LLINs.
Similarly, the odds of having malaria infection were significantly higher among women who had not regularly used LLINs and among primigravid and paucigravid women who had regularly used LLINs compared to multigravida women who had regularly used LLINs.
Conclusion.
This study showed that pregnant women remain particularly vulnerable to malaria; therefore, strengthening antenatal care visit strategies by emphasizing on promoting the use of LLINs and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, sexual education about early pregnancies, and family or community support during first pregnancies might be helpful.
