Abstract

Introduction: Low birth weight and preterm birth are significant predictors of morbidity and mortality in newborns and infants. For more than 40 years, it has been known that babies born to smoking mothers weigh less than babies born to nonsmoking mothers. Preterm birth is also increased by smoking during pregnancy. There is evidence that using smokeless tobacco may be as harmful to fetal health as cigarette smoking. Low birth weight (LBW) is often associated with increased morbidities and mortalities in newborns. Maternal smoking has a great contribution to having LBW babies. 28% of women in Bangladesh use smokeless tobacco frequently. The goal of the study was to find out the association between prolonged (>5 years) smokeless tobacco (ST) use and LBW babies. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 300 mother-neonate pairs enrolled in the Department of Paediatrics and Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from January 2009 to December 2010. Result: The majority of the mothers in this study used shada, followed by jorda, shada+jorda and gul. Smokeless tobacco (ST) which was used by mothers for more than 5 years significantly associated with the delivery of LBW baby (P <0.001) and carries a risk of having delivery of LBW baby 3.5 times higher in contrast with non users of smokeless tobacco. Conclusion: This study observed that prolonged use of smokeless tobacco for more than 5 years is considerably associated with LBW baby.
