摘要

More than 20 million infants in the world (15.5% of all births) are born with low birth weight. Ninety-fivepercent of them are in developing countries. The objective of this study was to examine different factorswhich may contribute to preterm delivery of low birth weight (PLBW) in a recent sample of Rwandanbirth. The study sample included 200 randomly selected women admitted to the department ofobstetrics-gynecology of the teaching hospital of Butare in Rwanda. Mothers were asked to complete aquestionnaire and obstetrics records were used in order to identify factors which might pose a healthrisk to them and their infants. Maternal weight, height, history of previous preterm and healthyconditions of the children in the family showed a significant relationship with PLBW. Maternal level ofeducation, number of pregnancies of the mother, urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted disease,antibiotic administration, diabetes, history of heart disease, alcohol consumption and smoking showeda relationship with PLBW but the relationship was not significant. More studies are required for a betterunderstanding of the mechanism leading to preterm delivery of low birth infants.
