Pregnancy and Physiological Factors Contributing to Anemia across the Three Stages of Pregnancy in Zliten
Keywords:
Anemia, Hemoglobin, Pregnant, Risk factors, Trimesters, Immune systemAbstract
Anemia is a condition where your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells to deliver oxygen efficiently. During pregnancy, your body requires extra iron to generate red blood cells for both you and your developing baby. In collaboration with gynecologists, we have gathered samples from the project-targeted patients and performed blood tests (CBC) on expectant mothers at each of the three stages of pregnancy. At the 5% significance level, there is no statistically significant variation in hemoglobin levels across the trimesters, according to the p-value (0.086), which is higher than the generally accepted significance level of 0.05. The p-value is around to 0.05, though, indicating that there may be a pattern worth looking into more thoroughly, particularly if clinical or practical significance is taken into account.
