Correlation between Maternal Mid Upper Arm Circumference and Neonatal Birth Weight: A Case-control Study

Introduction: Birth weight is the best marker of optimal foetal growth and development. Apart from being an important determinant of newborn survival, Low Birth Weight (LBW) also indicates nutritional deprivation and poor health of the mother during and before pregnancy. On the other hand, Maternal nutrition and anthropometry also affect infant’s birth weight. Aim: To find out the correlation of maternal Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) and neonatal birth weight. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was conducted at Datta Meghe Medical College and Shalinitai Meghe Hospital and Research Centre (tertiary care hospital), Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, from September 2021 to February 2022. Convenient sampling method was used to select cases and control. All the mothers who had delivered full term live singleton new born with birth weight <2.5 kg were selected as a case and mothers who had delivered singleton new born babies ≥2.5 kg were selected as a control. There was a total of 100 mother-infant dyads with 50 pairs having infant with LBW (cases) and the rest 50 with infants having normal birth weight (controls). Data was collected on the socio-demographic status of the mothers using a predesigned questionnaire along with their weight (from record), maternal MUAC measurement, and birth weight of their babies. Analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16.0. Results: Mean age of cases was 24.48±2.757 years and that of controls was 24.52±2.255 years. Mean birth weight was 2206±200.9 gm for cases and 2934±305.79 gm for the control group. Maternal MUAC was ≤23 cm in 52% of cases and only 16% in controls (OR- 5.69, CI: 2.23-13.74, p-value=0.001). A linear correlation was found between maternal MUAC and birth weight (r-value=0.3376, p-value=0.001). Conclusion: As there was a positive correlation between maternal MUAC ≤23 cm and LBW babies, maternal MUAC can be used as a predictor of LBW, and hence, measurement of maternal MUAC should be included during antenatal check-ups

An analysis of pulmonary function tests in construction workers.

In construction workers, repeated and constant exposure to noxious materials generated at construction sites often increases the risk of respiratory illness. Pulmonary function test (PFT) is an important tool utilized for both diagnosis the cause of unknown or unexplained respiratory symptoms and monitoring prognosis of patients with known respiratory pathology. In the present study, PFT of construction workers was assessed using spirometry. A total of 100 male construction workers (working for >1 year) belonging age group 21 to 60 years were included in the study. Additionally, equal number of age matched healthy individuals without any exposure to construction work was recruited as controls. Indices of pulmonary functions included forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), forced expiratory volume (FEV1), FEV1/FVC and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV). Maximum workers belonged to age group 21 to 40 years. A total of 37 had habit of smoking. Construction workers also suffered from respiratory ailments like cough, dyspnea, sorethroat etc. All indices of PFT were significantly decreased in construction workers compared to controls. Construction workers are at high risk of developing respiratory ailments due to continuous long term exposure to noxious material used in construction. Habit of smoking and consumption of alcohol also adds on to risk of developing respiratory disorders. Spirometry can be recommended as an effective tool for screening of construction workers for respiratory ailments. The present study highlights the importance of regular health camps, use of proper protective wears and initiation of awareness program to prevent respiratory ailments in construction workers
