Abstract

Background: Newborns with small gestational age often experience many adverse outcomes during pregnancy, at birth, and throughout their physical and cognitive development. This study pointed out several related factors to make an appropriate pregnancy care plan. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and some factors related to small for gestational age newborns according to the Intergrowth-21 chart at 34-40th week. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis was conducted on 1270 pregnant women giving birth in Can Tho Gynecology Obstetrics Hospital with a gestational age of 34-40th week from October 2022 to April 2024. Results: The prevalence of small for gestational age newborns according to Intergrowth-21 was 10.6%. Some factors related to small for gestational age newborns include maternal educational background under secondary (OR = 5.18; 95% CI: 1.68 - 15.98), pregnant women with gestational hypertensive disorders (OR = 3.06; 95% CI: 1.68 - 5.58), women with pre-pregnancy BMI below 18.5 kg/m2 (OR= 2.90; 95% CI: 1 .93 - 4.35) and pregnancy weight gain below the recommended level (OR= 1.98; 95% CI: 1.36 - 2.88). Conclusion: Nutritional regimen, maternal educational background and gestational hypertensive disorders increase the risk of giving small for gestational age newborns.
