Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: An associated increased risk of a number of serious adverse outcomes is seen in obesity in pregnancy, including miscarriage, fetal congenital anomaly, thromboembolism, gestational diabetes etc. Hence, we planned this study to assess the pregnancy and pregnancy outcome in obese patients. Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of obese and non-obese women with pregnancy. A total of 250 patients were assessed in the present study which included 125 morbidly obese women and 125 normal weighing pregnant women. For each study subject, the control was the next normal weight woman on the delivery register who was not diabetic with a singleton pregnancy. Complete data of all the subjects including the follow-up details were obtained for this present retrospective study. Results: The incidence of diabetes among obese and non-obese pregnant women was 16 and 2 respectively out of 125 subjects in each group. Significant results were obtained while comparing the incidence of diabetes and sub-fertility among obese and non-obese pregnant women. While comparing the incidence of caesarean among obese and non-obese pregnant women, it was observed that 42 and 20 women were affected respectively. Incidence of wound infections and blood transfusion among obese pregnant women was found to be 10 and 18 respectively. Conclusion: In contemporary obstetric practice, obesity in pregnancy is a big problem.
