Prediction of stillbirth in women with overweight or obesity-A register-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop a model for prediction of stillbirth after the 28th gestational week in singleton pregnancies of women with overweight or obesity.

Method

This is a register-based cohort study. The first trimester screening database including data from 2006 until 2015 was cross-linked with the Swedish Medical Birth Register and the Swedish Register of Total Population. The final study cohort comprised 145,319 pregnancies, out of which 45,859 pregnancies were complicated by overweight or obesity and without pre-gestational diabetes. There were in total 282 stillbirths. Prediction models for stillbirth in pregnancies with overweight or obesity were constructed based on maternal characteristics, pregnancy complications and biochemical markers.
