Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
oxidative stress status in plasma of pregnant women taking oral iron in daily versus weekly doses for anemia preventionTimepoint: At three point of time tests were conducted. Oxidative stress, micro nutrient and diet were assessed at the time of enrollment 14-16 weeks of primi pregnancy, after 3 months of supplementation and third time at 6 weeks post delivery	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
effect of pregnancy on oxidative stress, relationship of oxidative stress with birth outcome and effect of daily versus weekly iron on side effects, acceptability and mode of deliveryTimepoint: At 3 point of time, blood samples and information were sought from study participants, at baseline (14-16 weeks pregnancy, thirst trimester, 6 weeks post delivery	—
