Hemoglobin concentration is a clinical metric used to assess health during pregnancy, as evidenced by its use in defining anaemia in pregnant women [1]. Studies analyze the mean hemoglobin concentration specifically within the pregnant population [2] and track how these levels fluctuate across different trimesters of pregnancy [3].

measurementThe study defined the primary outcome as the presence of anaemia, measured using a Hemocue 301 device, defined as a haemoglobin concentration of less than 11g/dl regardless of the trimester of pregnancy.
measurementThere was no statistically significant difference in the mean haemoglobin concentration among pregnant women across the six regions (p = 0.422).
measurementThe mean haemoglobin concentration among pregnant women drops significantly as the trimester advances, with the highest values observed in the first trimester and the lowest in the third trimester (p < 0.001 for the general pregnant population; p = 0.02 for the anaemic sub-group).
