Wiki Version:
The Redefining Maternal Anemia in Pregnancy and Postpartum (ReMAPP) study is a multisite, prospective, cohort study nested within the Pregnancy Risk, Infant Surveillance, and Measurement Alliance (PRISMA) Maternal and Newborn Health study. Research sites are located in Kenya, Ghana, Zambia, India, and Pakistan. Participants are 12,000 pregnant women who provide serial venous blood samples for hemoglobin assessment at five time points: at <20 weeks, 20 weeks, 28 weeks, and 36 weeks gestation and at six weeks postpartum. We will use two analytical approaches to estimate hemoglobin thresholds for defining anemia: (1) clinical decision limits for cutoffs in each trimester and at six weeks postpartum based on associations of hemoglobin levels with adverse maternal, fetal, and neonatal health outcomes and (2) reference limits for gestational-week-specific cutoffs and at six weeks postpartum for mild, moderate, and severe anemia based on tail statistical percentiles of hemoglobin values in a reference (i.e., clinically healthy) subpopulation. We will also conduct biomarker-intensive testing among a sub-sample of participants in each trimester to explore underlying contributing factors of maternal anemia.
