Article Synopsis
- The study examines how Bariatric Surgery (BS) affects pregnancy outcomes in women, comparing those who had BS to those in different BMI categories (obesity, overweight, normal weight).
- A total of 6,212 pregnant women were analyzed, revealing that post-BS women were more likely to experience cesarean deliveries, preterm births, stillbirths, and have low-birth-weight babies.
- The authors suggest that pregnancies following BS should be regarded as high-risk, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring during antenatal and postnatal care.
Objectives: Customized birthweight centiles have improved the detection of small for gestational age (SGA) and large for gestational age (LGA) babies compared to existing population standards. This study used perinatal registry data to derive coefficients for developing customized growth charts for Qatar.
Methods: The PEARL registry data on women delivering in Qatar (2017-2018) was used to develop a multivariable linear regression model predicting optimal birthweight.
Background: Bariatric surgery is performed in obese women of reproductive age to help achieve a healthy prepregnancy weight to reduce the complications associated with obesity in pregnancy. However, these procedures can impact maternal nutrition and gestational weight gain (GWG). This study evaluates the maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with prepregnancy bariatric surgery and determines the impact on GWG.

This retrospective cohort study aims to examine the incidence of maternal and neonatal complications in women with multiple CDs.
Methods: This study used data from a national perinatal database obtained from a single tertiary maternity care hospital.
Background: The prevalence of childhood and adult obesity is rising exponentially worldwide. Class IV obesity (body mass index, BMI ≥50 kg/m) is associated with a higher risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. This study compared these outcomes between women with class IV obesity and women in the normal or overweight categories during pregnancy.
