Number of meta-analyses: 2

Project Description:

I am a first year PhD student from Brazil. I am a registered dietitian and a big research enthusiast. My main research field embraces the effect of the nutritional status on the frequency of adverse outcomes in the pregnant women. My first meta-analysis will investigate the impact of maternal anemia on the frequency of pregnancy outcomes such as spontaneous abortions, IUGR, preterm delivery, and small for gestational age. The second one analyses the impact of maternal anemia on the frequency of congenital abnormalities. My mission is to develop better screening strategies to prevent anemia-related outcomes.
