Introduction:

Poor maternal, newborn and child health

remains a significant problem in developing countries.

According to WHO, approximately 15.5 percent of births

worldwide are low birth weight and 96% of these are from

developing countries. LBW together with preterm delivery

has also been recognized as a strong biological predictor

of unfavorable developmental outcomes. The impact of

maternal pregnancy weight andweight gain during pregnancy

on pregnancy outcomes has been reported. Maternal under

nutrition contributes to 8 lacs of neonatal deaths annually

through SGA births.

Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) of Nepal is 23/1000 live births.

LBW is an important cause of neonatal mortality. Maternal

BMI also plays a significant role in neonatal outcome. Hence,

we planned to undertake this study which will help in the

long run in the intervention leading to reduction of neonatal

mortality of this region.

Objectives:

• Study of Impact of maternal BMI on neonatal outcome at

BPKIHS

•StudyofImpactofmaternalBMIonNeonatalAnthropometry

• To find out the association of maternal BMI with mode of

delivery and neonate needs for NICU care.
