Keywords: Abdominal Circumference, Fetus, Zinc, Pregnant
Abstract Aim: To assess the percentile change in fetal abdominal circumference by giving zinc to pregnant women Methods: This is an observational analytical study with a prospective design. The sample was pregnant women who did antenatal care examinations at the University of North Sumatra Hospital and other private hospitals in the city of Medan during the 2020 study period who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sampling using consecutive sampling technique with 31 sample size. Statistical data were analyzed using independent sample t-test data and correlation and linear regression tests with a significance level of p=0.05. Results: The mean fetal abdominal circumference before treatment in zinc group was 153.15 mm (SD = 26.74 mm) while in the control group was 148.85 mm (SD = 40.06 mm). There was no significant difference in mean fetal abdominal circumference between the treatment and control groups (p = 0.692). The size of the fetal abdominal circumference after zinc administration increased to 282.15 mm (SD = 24.63 mm), there was a significant difference in the size of the fetal abdominal circumference before and after the administration of zinc tablets (p<0.001). The increase in fetal abdominal circumference in the zinc-treated group was 129 mm (SD = 8.29 mm) while in the control group it was 117.55 mm (SD = 9.89 mm). Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the size of the fetal abdominal circumference between the group of mothers who were given zinc tablets and the control group.
