Zanzibari Women's Pregnancy Characteristics

The document contains 4 tables that provide characteristics and outcomes of 158 Zanzibari women who participated in a study. Table 1 describes baseline characteristics such as age, weight, education level, and anemia rates. Table 2 describes labor and delivery characteristics such as duration of labor and gestational age. Table 3 examines the relationship between anemia and blood loss, finding higher blood loss levels associated with lower hemoglobin levels. Table 4 identifies factors associated with blood loss amounts based on a regression analysis, including lower hemoglobin levels and higher placental weight.
