OBJECTIVES: 1. To measure the incidence of low birth weight from all institutional deliveries in a defined catchment area of urban Harare. 2. To estimate the relative proportions of preterm and small for gestational age (SGA).
DESIGN: The study was descriptive and was conducted during the last three months of 1986.
SETTING: The low risk maternity units in three high density suburbs, Highfield, Glen Norah and Glen View and the referral centre Harare Central Hospital.
SUBJECTS: All babies born to women residing in the study areas in the maternity clinics and those transferred to the referral hospital were identified and weighed.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: For low birthweight babies gestation was estimated by the Dubowitz method and perinatal outcome was recorded.
RESULTS: During the three month study period in 1986, 2,056 babies in total were born; 223 (10.8%) of which were low birthweight. Of these 65 (44%) were preterm and 55 (37%) were SGA.
CONCLUSION: The findings show a lower percentage of low birthweight and SGA babies than in many developing countries but higher than the norm for developed countries. The study demonstrates a need for resources to prevent low birthweight delivery and improve care for low birthweight babies.
