Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre atención prenatal inadecuada (APNI) y bajo peso al nacer (BPN) en recién nacidos de madres de gestación única en Perú. Métodos: Fue un análisis secundario de datos de la Encuesta de Demografía y Salud de 2019. Se incluyó un total de 10.186 mujeres en edad reproductiva (15 – 49 años) que dieron a luz a un hijo único en los últimos 5 años. La variable dependiente fue BPN (< 2500 g). Las variables independientes fueron APNI (inadecuado: cuando al menos uno de los componentes de APNI estaba ausente [número de visitas de APN ≥ 6, primera visita de APN durante el primer trimestre, cumplimiento del contenido de la visita de APN y visitas de APN realizadas por personal de salud capacitado]) y cada uno de sus componentes. Se evaluó la asociación utilizando modelos de regresión logística para estimar los odds ratios crudos y los odds rat...

“Objective To assess the association between inadequate prenatal care (IPNC) and Low birth weight (LBW) in newborns of singleton gestation mothers in Peru. Methods We performed a secondary analysis of data from the 2019 Demographic and Health Survey. We included a total of 10,186 women of reproductive age (15 – 49 years) who had given birth to a singleton child in the last 5 years. The dependent variable was LBW (< 2500 g). The independent variables were IPNC (inadequate: when at least one of the IPNC components was absent [number of PNC visits ≥ 6, first PNC visit during the first trimester, compliance with PNC visit contents, and PNC visits provided by trained health personnel]) and each of its components. We evaluated the association using logistic regression models to estimate crude odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI...
