This study investigates the causes, effects, and risk factors associated with IUGR among newborns admitted to Banaadir Hospital, Mogadishu, Somalia. The research examines maternal, fetal, and environmental factors contributing to IUGR and its impact on neonatal health outcomes.</p> <p>Using a cross-sectional study design, data was collected through medical records, interviews with healthcare professionals, and surveys of pregnant women attending antenatal care. The findings indicate that maternal malnutrition, hypertensive disorders, infections during pregnancy, and inadequate prenatal care are major contributors to IUGR. Additionally, socio-economic factors, including poverty and limited healthcare access, exacerbate the condition. The study also highlights the association between placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction.</p> <p>The study emphasizes the need for early detection, improved maternal nutrition programs, and enhanced antenatal care services to prevent IUGR-related complications. Recommendations include strengthening prenatal monitoring, increasing awareness on maternal health, and implementing targeted interventions to improve fetal growth outcomes. These findings provide valuable insights for healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance maternal and neonatal health in Somalia.</p> |
