Objective: Assess the relationship between maternal body mass index and second trimester cervical length Method: This is a prospective study conducted on 100 singleton women, aged between 18 to 34 years with mean age of 24.03 ± 4.34 from 2017 to 2019, all these women have their BMI measured in 1sttrimester according to WHO criteria and cervical length measured in 2nd trimester (16-24 weeks) Results: The rate of premature delivery among women aged = 25 years was 52.3% compared to 35.7% among those aged <35 years (p = 0.097). The rate of premature delivery among women living in rural areas was 52.9%, compared with 41% among women living in urban areas (p = 0.363). The more the body mass index (BMI), the less the rate of premature delivery (p = 0.002) where it was 50% among thin women and 0% among obese women. Premature delivery was 89.5% among women with short cervical length and 32.1% among women with normal cervical length (p < 0.001). 19% of the women of the whole sample had short cervix but none of the women with normal weight or obese had short cervix. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a relationship between BMI and cervical length suggesting that obesity may be associated with longer cervical length. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
