| Abstract | ||
| Background: Maternal complications, including gestational diabetes mellitus, hypertensive disorders and delivery of a preterm or a growth restricted baby, are higher among women with overweight or obesity. Objective: To determine perinatal and maternal outcome in relation to maternal obesity and overweight among Sudanese women. Methods: It was a descriptive, cross-sectional and hospital-based study conducted in Bashier Teaching Hospital, Sudan from July 2021 to January 2022. Three hundred pregnant women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study were enrolled in the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire which filled with women included in the study and after taking informed consent. Results: The mean of age was 31.31 ±2.88 among the overweight group and 29.03 ±3.83 among the obese group . The rate of preeclampsia was (38.5% vs. 12.9%), anemia (8.2% vs. 2.2%) , DVT (1.6% vs. 0.0%) , polyhydramnios (6.6% vs. 3.4%) and gestational diabetes (9.8% vs. 4.5%). These were significantly (p-value < 0.05) higher in obese cases as compared to overweight women. Significantly (p-value < 0.05) higher rates of IUFD (2.5% vs. 0.6%), low apgar score <7 (30. 3% vs. 11.8%) %), admission to NICU (26. 2% vs. 12.4%) was noted among obese group. Conclusion: The study concluded that overweight and obesity were associated with significant and higher maternal outcome such as development of gestational diabetes , hypertensive disorders, intraprtum and postpartum hemorrhage and other disorders. | ||
