The impact of obesity surgery on newborn anthropometrics in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome.

Purpose: Obesity surgery and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are both associated with increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction. We investigated whether offspring of mothers with PCOS who underwent obesity surgery had an increased risk of deviating birth anthropometrics compared to offspring of mothers without PCOS.

Methods: In this observational study, data from two study databases (BAROBS and PregMet2) were supplemented with data from patient's records from secondary and tertiary hospitals.
