Key Points

• This research aims to assess how pre-pregnancy body mass index and diabetes status influence stillbirth risk depending on gestational age.
• Analyzed data from a nationwide retrospective cohort study
• Focus on obese women with varying diabetes statuses
• Considered gestational age-specific stillbirth outcomes
• Identified that gestational age for optimal delivery varies for obese women based on diabetes status
• Found increased stillbirth risk associated with later delivery for those with pre-pregnancy diabetes
