gestational weight gain/hemorrhage

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to find the perinatal risk factors of intravenricular hemorrhage in twin neonates. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 203 twin pregnancies and deliveries between 2003 and 2009 was performed. Then data according birth state and neonatal complications in 406 twins

To clarify the predisposing factors associated with blood loss after delivery in mothers with full-term singleton babies. In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated 1,294 women who delivered singleton babies vaginally in 2011 at a medical center in Tokyo. We determined the amount of blood

To investigate the single and joint effects of prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) on pregnancy outcomes, electronic medical records of 14,196 women who delivered singleton live infant at a maternal and child health hospital in Beijing, China, in 2012 were reviewed.

Background: Gestational weight gain is a modifiable factor that could impact maternal and infant health. However, its effect on delivery outcomes is not well established. Objectives:

Objective: Obesity in the USA continues to be a prominent medical and public health concern. Due to increasing rates of maternal obesity, the current Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines recommend 11-20 pounds of total weight gain during pregnancy in women with a BMI ≥30 kg/m².

OBJECTIVE To assess the association between pre-gestational obesity and weight gain with cesarean delivery and labor complications. METHODS A total of 4,486 women 20-28 weeks pregnant attending general prenatal care clinics of the national health system in Brazil from 1991 to 1995 were enrolled and

Objective: To analyze the status of gestational weight gain (GWG) among Chinese mothers who gave singleton and full-term births, and to look at optimal GWG ranges. Methods: In 2013, using the multi-stage stratified and population proportional cluster sampling method, we investigated 8 323

OBJECTIVE To compare perinatal and pregnancy outcomes including adherence to the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) recommendations for gestational weight gain (GWG) in pregnant women with conception <18 months (early group) compared to ≥18 months following gastric bypass (late

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between gestational weight gain and maternal and neonatal outcomes in a large, geographically diverse cohort. METHODS Trained chart abstractors at 25 hospitals obtained maternal and neonatal data for all deliveries on randomly selected days over 3 years

The effects of artificial oligemic anemia on dams and their fetuses were investigated in pregnant rats. Animals divided into ten groups of four to six each were bled from the jugular vein at various stages of gestation. Hematological examination was performed on day 20 of gestation, then dams were

OBJECTIVE To compare maternal and neonatal outcomes in obese women according to weight change and obesity class. METHODS Cohort study from the Consortium on Safe Labor of 20,950 obese women with a singleton, term live birth from 2002-2008. Risk for adverse outcomes was calculated by multiple

Background: Short inter-pregnancy interval (IPI) is a potential risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Previous reports from sub-Sahara Africa documented increasing incidence of short IPI but evidence is lacking in its effect on

Smoking habits, prenatal health, and pregnancy outcome were surveyed among 1700 nulliparous women. During pregnancy, increases in levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit and the frequency of women reporting bleeding and decreases in diastolic pressure and frequency of toxemia were observed with

The main objective of the study was to examine the role of selected socio-occupational factors on the development of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in the urban population of Lódź, Poland. An epidemiological model of the case-control study was employed. Both the cases and controls were
