Gestational overweight decreased risk of antepartum hemorrhage in pregnant women with complete placenta previa: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antepartum hemorrhage (APH) is associated with perinatal mortality and maternal morbidity. Previous studies have reported that obesity in pregnancy adversely influences both fetal and neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to investigate gestational overweight and the risk of APH in pregnant women with complete placenta previa (CPP).

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women with CPP delivery at our hospital from 2013 to 2015. Outcomes were stratified according to APH and non-APH.

Results

Of 193 pregnancies with CPP, 40.4% (78) were diagnosed with APH. Maternal weight and BMI at delivery were significantly decreased in women with APH (61.15 ± 8.73 vs. 65.22 ± 7.80, 24.47 ± 3.12 vs. 26.21 ± 2.85; P = 0.001, P =
