The mean birth weight of newborns of severely anaemic mothers, 2.03 Kgs is significantly lower than that in moderately anaemic, 2.77 Kgs and non-anaemic groups 3.02 Kgs (p value= <0.00001). Incidence of preterm births in severely anaemic mothers is grossly higher than those in moderate and non-anaemic groups 88.57% (SA), 12.45% (MA) and 4.66% (NA) respectively (p<0.00001).
