Abstract

Objective: The comparison of the adverse Feto-maternal outcomes in both the groups of Normal and overweight pregnant woman was the objective of this particular research. Methods: Design of the research was comparative cohort, which was completed in the time span of November, 2016 to October, 2018 (Mayo Hospital, Lahore) on a sample of 200 gravid ladies. Sample was divided into two main groups named as overweight and normal pregnant women of hundred cases each. Sample was comprised of pregnant women having gestational age in the range of 08 weeks – 40 weeks. Overweight and normal cases were categorized respectively as (BMI 25 – 29.9 Kg/m2) and (BMI of 18.5 – 24.9), normal cases were taken as controls. Feto-maternal outcomes were compared through Chi-square test and the pvalue was taken as (< 0.05). Results: Women selected for the research were in the age bracket of 30 – 45 years with a mean age of (30 ± 4.1 years). High frequency of pre-eclampsia was observed in overweight women in comparison to the normal group (27% vs 9%), gestational diabetes mellitus (DM) (22% vs 5%), PIH (24% vs 8%), Caesarean section (44% vs 16%), prolonged labor (4% vs 6%), Postpartum Hemorrhage (5% vs 2%) and Wound infection (3% vs 2%). The significant P-value was taken as (< 0.001). In terms of fetal complications in both the groups when compared were as Early neonatal death (11% vs 1%), Still birth (13% vs 2%), NICU admission (47% vs 10%) and shoulder dystocia (5% vs 1%). Except the incidence of shoulder dystocia outcomes were statistically significant. Conclusion: It is concluded that deleterious effects are related to the incidence of obesity on the Feto-maternal outcomes. Key Words: Outcomes, Controls, Pregnant Overweight Women and Adverse Feto-maternal.
