Key result
Different grades of maternal obesity (I, II, and III) showed no significant differences in the prevalence of maternal and perinatal outcomes (p>0.05).
Why the study?
Obesity in pregnancy carries high risks of maternal and fetal adverse effects, but the prevalence of maternal and perinatal complications across various obesity grades required evaluation.
Do different grades of maternal obesity affect the prevalence of maternal and perinatal complications?
Population
111 obese pregnant women who delivered at RSCM from 2014 to 2019
Comparison
Obese I vs obese II vs obese III

Do different grades of maternal obesity affect the prevalence of maternal and perinatal complications?
p-value: p=>0.05
In a cross-sectional study of obese pregnant women, the grade of obesity did not significantly affect the prevalence of maternal and perinatal complications.
Indarti et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Obesity in pregnancy (n=111). Maternal obesity grades (I, II, III) vs. Between obesity grades was evaluated on Maternal and perinatal outcomes (birth method, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, PROM, preterm birth, birth weight, APGAR score, NICU care) (p=>0.05). Different grades of maternal obesity (I, II, and III) showed no significant differences in the prevalence of maternal and perinatal outcomes (p>0.05).
