When gender of 9,284 single fetuses, which were delivered at term in the Policlinic of Modena between 1997-2001, was stratified for month of conception and for quartiles of pregravid maternal weight, it showed that the ratio of male to female fetuses (secondary sex ratio) was characterized by a clear seasonal variation that was modulated by pregravid maternal weight. Two seasonal peaks of sex ratio (March and October +/- 31 days) were observed in mothers in the lowest two quartiles of prepregnancy body weight (< or =62 kg), and one single peak (October +/-36 days) was observed in mothers with preconception weight in the upper two quartiles.

Background: Earlier evidence indicated that metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may adversely affect neonatal outcomes among patients conceiving soon after MBS, but recent studies demonstrated conflicting results, especially for new surgical techniques.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of MBS types and surgery to birth interval on maternal, birth, and nonbirth outcomes in women with severe obesity.
Setting: New York State's all-payer hospital discharge database (2008-2019).
