Prediction of uncomplicated pregnancies in obese women: a prospective multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

All obese pregnant women are considered at equal high risk with respect to complications in pregnancy and birth, and are commonly managed through resource-intensive care pathways. However, the identification of maternal characteristics associated with normal pregnancy outcomes could assist in the management of these pregnancies. The present study aims to identify the factors associated with uncomplicated pregnancy and birth in obese women, and to assess their predictive performance.

Methods

Data form obese women (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) with singleton pregnancies included in the UPBEAT trial were used in this analysis. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify sociodemographic, clinical and biochemical factors at 15⁺⁰ to 18⁺⁶
