This is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes for both mother and child. Objective Our goal was to assess the impact of maternal overweight/obesity on neonatal outcomes in glucose-tolerant women. Study design A retrospective cross-sectional study included pregnant women receiving prenatal and perinatal care at our hospital who also have a negative 2h/75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Women were divided into three groups according to their pregestational body mass index. Neonatal outcome variables were compared between groups. Results A total of 1, 284 women were divided into the following groups on the basis of BMI criteria: normal weight (NW, BMI 18-24.99 ; № 834), overweight (OW, BMI 25-29.99 ; № 321) and obese (OB, BMI>30 ; № 129). Women’s age differed significantly between groups NW and OW (29.79±5.41 kg and 31.12±5.31 kg respectively, p 4 kg) babies (NW 15.59% ; OW 20.25% ; OB 24.03%, p90 centile) in OW and OB group (NW 13.19% ; OW 20.25% ; OB 27.13%, p |
