Background.
Anaemia is a global public health problem which has an eminence impact on pregnant mother.
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and predictors of maternal anemia.
Method.
A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1 to April 30, 2012, on 302 pregnant women who attended antenatal care at Gondar University Hospital.
Interview-based questionnaire, clinical history, and laboratory tests were used to obtain data.
Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors.
Result.
The prevalence of anemia was 16.6%.
Majority were mild type (64%) and morphologically normocytic normochromic (76%) anemia.
Anemia was high at third trimester (18.9%).
Low family income (AOR [95% CI] = 3.1 [1.19, 8.33]), large family size (AOR [95% CI] = 4.14 [4.13, 10.52]), hookworm infection (AOR [95% CI] = 2.72 [1.04, 7.25]), and HIV infection (AOR [95% CI] = 5.75 [2.40, 13.69]) were independent predictors of anemia.
Conclusion.
The prevalence of anemia was high; mild type and normocytic normochromic anemia was dominant.
Low income, large family size, hookworm infection, and HIV infection were associated with anemia.
Hence, efforts should be made for early diagnosis and management of HIV and hookworm infection with special emphasis on those having low income and large family size.
