Prenatal and Delivery Management to Reduce Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Associated with Maternal Weight 公开

Abstract
Pre-pregnancy obesity increases the risk of cesarean delivery,
excess fetal growth, and maternal and infant morbidity. However,
there is limited evidence on how to prevent adverse pregnancy
outcomes among obese gravidas. Similarly to maternal pre-pregnancy
weight, gestational weight gain (GWG) has important effects on
perinatal health. However, little is known about the association
between GWG and stillbirth. This dissertation explored ways to
reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with
maternal weight. Aim 1 evaluated the association between GWG
z-scores and stillbirth among 1,885 singleton deliveries in the
Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network Case-Control Study.
Gaining ≤35th percentile of GWG z-score increased the odds of
stillbirth (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] for the 10th versus 50th
percentile: 1.5 [95% Confidence Interval {CI} 1.3, 1.7]). Among
overweight women, stillbirth odds were elevated for GWG z-scores
≥75th percentile. Aims 2 and 3 assessed whether term elective
induction of labor (elective IOL, induction without indication) or
expectant management (delivery in later weeks) was associated with
lower odds of adverse pregnancy outcomes among obese women (Aim 2)
and their offspring (Aim 3). The data source for Aims 2-3 was the
2007-2011 California Linked Patient Discharge Data/Birth Cohort
file (N=219,360). Elective IOL between 37 and 40 weeks reduced the
odds of cesarean delivery among obese women (aORs between 0.6 and
0.9). From 38-40 weeks' gestation, elective IOL reduced the odds of
postpartum hemorrhage and severe maternal morbidity (aORs from
0.7-0.8). Elective IOL at 37 weeks was associated with increased
infant mortality among obese parous women (aOR: 3.5 [95% CI 1.4,
8.5]). Term elective IOL was associated with reduced odds of
macrosomia, infant hospital stay >5 days, meconium aspiration
syndrome, chorioamnionitis, shoulder dystocia, and brachial plexus
injury. This dissertation highlights possible ways to improve
pregnancy outcomes among obese gravidas and their offspring.
Gaining sufficient weight during pregnancy may reduce the risk of
stillbirth among obese women; this was also true in normal weight
and overweight women. Avoiding elective IOL <39 weeks' gestation
may reduce the risk of infant mortality, while elective IOL between
39 and 41 weeks' gestation may decrease the risk of maternal and
neonatal morbidity.
