Özet:

 Aim: Anemia is a common pregnancy complication, with iron, folate, and vitamin B12 deficiencies being the most frequent causes. This study aimed to evaluate the role of micronutrient deficiencies in the etiology of anemia during the first trimester of pregnancy. Material and Method: Between January 2023 and January 2024, 271 pregnant women aged 1850 years who presented to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Outpatient Clinic of a tertiary university hospital were included in this study. Demographic data and hemoglobin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity TIBC, ferritin, folate, and vitamin B12 levels were obtained retrospectively from medical records. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC, 1st trimester hemoglobin 11 gdl and hematocrit 33 were considered as anemia, ferritin 15 ngml as iron deficiency, serum folate 3 ngml, and vitamin B12 200 pgml as a deficiency. Results: In total, 107 39.5 pregnant women had anemia. Pregnant women with and without anemia were similar in terms of age, gravidity, parity, abortion, gestational week, infant birth weight, APGAR scores at 1 and 5 min, folate levels, and vitamin B12 deficiency levels. Those with anemia had significantly lower serum iron p0.006 and ferritin levels p0.001, and higher TIBC levels p0.001 than those without anemia. Ferritin was 15 ng ml in 61.7 n66 of those with anemia p0.001. Vitamin B12 deficiency was present in one of the three pregnant women with anemia. There were only four pregnant women with folate deficiency, and none of them had anemia. Conclusion: Providing adequate micronutrient support before and during pregnancy prevents anemia. Therefore, pregnancy follow-up protocols should emphasize regular screening for micronutrient deficiencies.
