Introduction: Currently, the impact of COVID-19 on sociodemographic and
obstetric factors, linked to nutritional status and anemia in pregnant women,
represents a significant change in management and healthcare paradigms.
Objectives: To consider a multiple logistic regression model and multiple
comparisons (Mann-Whitney U test) based on sociodemographic-obstetric
factors, nutritional status and anemia in pregnant women before and during
Covid-19.
Methods: In this study, 113 medical records of pregnant women attended
between November 2019 and April 2020 at a Hospital II-1 in Trujillo, Peru were
analyzed. Multiple logistic regression model showed a good fit and allowed to
correctly classify most of pregnant women.
Results: The covariates; employment situation, obstetric history, nutritional
condition and anemia were significant. Differences were observed between
sociodemographic factors such as employment status, obstetric factors such as
obstetric history, and factors related to nutritional status and clinical symptoms
of anemia.
Conclusions: The impact of COVID-19 reflected in the relationships between
sociodemographic and obstetric factors with nutritional status and the anemia
diagnosed in pregnant women treated in a Hospital II-1 in Trujillo, Peru, was
evidenced
