Predictors of inadequate gestational weight gain according to iom recommendations and intergrowth-21st standards: the araraquara cohort study. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2024; 24:579. [PMID: 39227805 PMCID: PMC11373346 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-024-06749-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational weight gain (GWG) is a critical factor for maternal and fetal health. OBJECTIVE To identify maternal predictors of inadequate GWG according to the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations and Intergrowth-21st standards. METHODS A prospective epidemiological cohort study conducted from 2017 to 2023 in southeastern Brazil assessed 1,557 women at three different stages of pregnancy (≤ 18, 20-26, and 30-36 weeks of gestation) and at delivery. Sociodemographic, obstetric, lifestyle, nutritional, and maternal morbidity characteristics were collected, along with biochemical parameters. RESULTS Among the participants, 38.7% had GWG above IOM recommendations, while 67.5% had GWG above the Intergrowth-21st standards. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that women with pre-pregnancy obesity and women with the highest body fat percentage had, respectively, a 95% (OR = 1.95; 95% CI: 1.08-3.51) and 1% (OR = 1.01; 95% CI: 1.01-1.05) higher chance of GWG above IOM recommendations. Pregnant women in the lowest tertile of height, smokers, number of previous pregnancies, and women living in crowded homes had, respectively, a 57% (OR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.41-0.80), 36% (OR = 0.64; 95% CI: 0.37-0.86), 35% (OR = 0.65; 95% CI: 0.43-0.97), and 14% (OR = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.59-0.86) lower chance of GWG above IOM recommendations. Women with diabetes were 2.53 times more likely (OR = 2.53; 95% CI: 1.32-4.83) to have GWG below IOM recommendations. Using the Intergrowth-21st standards, women with the highest body fat percentage had a 12% (OR = 1.12; 95% CI: 1.02-1.24) higher chance of GWG above the 90th percentile. Pregnant women in the lowest tertile of height were 2.82 times more likely (OR = 2.82; 95% CI: 1.08-8.13) and women with the lowest hemoglobin concentrations had a 41% lower chance (OR = 0.59; 95% CI: 0.39-0.88) of having GWG below the 10th percentile. While both guidelines identified body fat percentage and pre-pregnancy obesity as significant predictors of excessive GWG, the Intergrowth-21st standards captured a higher percentage of women exceeding GWG limits. CONCLUSION The findings underscore the importance of comparing two instruments for assessing the adequacy of GWG. The IOM and Intergrowth-21st standards provide complementary insights, which can help implement targeted interventions for specific groups of women based on their nutritional and socioeconomic status, lifestyle, and obstetric factors to prevent pregnancy-related complications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dolutegravir (DTG)-based antiretroviral therapy is the World Health Organization's preferred first-line regimen for all persons with HIV, including pregnant women. While DTG has been implicated as an obesogen associated with greater weight gain compared to other antiretrovirals, there is a paucity of data in pregnant women and their children. The Obesogenic oRigins of maternal and Child metabolic health Involving Dolutegravir (ORCHID) study is investigating associations between DTG, weight gain, and metabolic outcomes in the context of HIV. MATERIALS & METHODS ORCHID is a prospective observational study taking place in Cape Town, South Africa (NCT04991402). A total of 1920 pregnant women with and without HIV infection are being followed from ≤18 weeks gestational age to 24 months postpartum with their children. Participants attend eleven study visits: 3 antenatal, delivery, and 7 postnatal visits. Several embedded sub-studies address specific scientific aims. Primary outcome measurements in mothers include anthropometry, blood pressure, body composition, dysglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), and dyslipidemia. Other maternal measures include demographics, resting energy expenditure, viral load, physical activity, dietary intake, hepatic steatosis, and repository specimens. Sub-study measurements include markers of adipose inflammation, gut integrity, and satiety/hunger, subcutaneous adipose tissue morphology and mitochondrial function, and metabolomics. Primary outcome measurements in children include anthropometry, adipose tissue mass, dysglycemia, IR, and dyslipidemia. Other variables include fetal growth, birth outcomes, medical/breastfeeding history, caloric intake, neurodevelopment, and repository specimens. Sub-study measurements include metabolites/lipid subspecies in umbilical cord blood, as well as breast milk composition and DTG exposure. DISCUSSION ORCHID will play a pivotal role in defining obesogenic mechanisms and clinical consequences of DTG use in pregnancy in women with HIV and their children. It will provide insights into metabolic disease risk reduction in the context of HIV/DTG, identify intervention targets, and inform public health approaches to diminish chronic metabolic co-morbidities for women and children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational weight gain (GWG) is an important indicator for monitoring maternal and fetal health. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of GWG outside the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) on fetal and neonatal outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A prospective cohort study with 1642 pregnant women selected from 2017 to 2023, with gestational age ≤ 18 weeks and followed until delivery in the city of Araraquara, Southeast Brazil. The relationship between IOM-recommended GWG and fetal outcomes (abdominal subcutaneous tissue thickness, arm and thigh subcutaneous tissue area and intrauterine growth restriction) and neonatal outcomes (percentage of fat mass, fat-free mass, birth weight and length, ponderal index, weight adequateness for gestational age by the Intergrowth curve, prematurity, and Apgar score) were investigated. Generalized Estimating Equations were used. RESULTS GWG below the IOM recommendations was associated with increased risks of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (aOR 1.61; 95% CI: 1.14-2.27), low birth weight (aOR 2.44; 95% CI: 1.85-3.21), and prematurity (aOR 2.35; 95% CI: 1.81-3.05), and lower chance of being Large for Gestational Age (LGA) (aOR 0.38; 95% CI: 0.28-0.54), with smaller arm subcutaneous tissue area (AST) (-7.99 g; 95% CI: -8.97 to -7.02), birth length (-0.76 cm; 95% CI: -1.03 to -0.49), and neonatal fat mass percentage (-0.85%; 95% CI: -1.12 to -0.58). Conversely, exceeding GWG guidelines increased the likelihood of LGA (aOR 1.53; 95% CI: 1.20-1.96), with lower 5th-minute Apgar score (aOR 0.42; 95% CI: 0.20-0.87), and increased birth weight (90.14 g; 95% CI: 53.30 to 126.99). CONCLUSION Adherence to GWG recommendations is crucial, with deviations negatively impacting fetal health. Effective weight control strategies are imperative.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to provide an overview of dietary interventions delivered during pregnancy for the prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). GDM increases the risk of adverse pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, and also increases future cardiometabolic risks for both the mother and the offspring. Carrying or gaining excessive weight during pregnancy increases the risk of developing GDM, and several clinical trials in women with overweight or obesity have tested whether interventions aimed at limiting gestational weight gain (GWG) could help prevent GDM. Most dietary interventions have provided general healthy eating guidelines, while some had a specific focus, such as low glycaemic index, increased fibre intake, reducing saturated fat or a Mediterranean-style diet. Although trials have generally been successful in attenuating GWG, the majority have been unable to reduce GDM risk, which suggests that limiting GWG may not be sufficient in itself to prevent GDM. The trials which have shown effectiveness in GDM prevention have included intensive face-to-face dietetic support, and/or provision of key foods to participants, but it is unclear whether these strategies could be delivered in routine practice. The mechanism behind the effectiveness of some interventions over others remains unclear. Dietary modifications from early stages of pregnancy seem to be key, but the optimum dietary composition is unknown. Future research should focus on designing acceptable and scalable dietary interventions to be tested early in pregnancy in women at risk of GDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The gestational weight gain (GWG) and hyperglycemia are two key factors affecting adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed to investigate the combinatorial effect of abnormal glucose metabolism and GWG on adverse outcomes in GDM. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 2611 pregnant women with GDM in Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University. Bases on the OGTT glucose levels, we categorized the GDM cohort into three subgroups: impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group, and combined impaired glucose (IFG&IGT) group. RESULTS Among pregnant women with IGT, insufficient GWG (IGWG) was an independent protective factor for pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (PIH) (aOR 0.55, 95% CI 0.32-0.95), macrosomia (0.38, 0.19-0.74) and large for gestational age (0.45, 0.32-0.62), as well as an independent risk factor for low birth weight infants (2.29, 1.24-4.22) and small for gestational age (1.94, 1.17-3.19); and excessive GWG (EGWG) was related to increased risks of PIH (1.68, 1.12-2.52), preterm delivery (1.82, 1.28-2.58), postpartum hemorrhage (1.85, 1.05-3.28), cesarean delivery (1.84, 1.38-2.46) and low body weight infants (2.36, 1.33-4.20). Moreover, EGWG was positively associated with PIH (3.27, 1.09-9.80) in the IFG group. But there were no significant associations between either IGWG or EGWG and any pregnancy outcomes in women with combined IFG&IGT. CONCLUSIONS The relationships between GWG and adverse outcomes were modified by abnormal glucose metabolism in women with GDM. Our results suggest that more specific GWG recommendations according to their metabolic state are needed for GDM.

Abstract
Purpose: Little is known on the potential effects of abnormal gestational weight gain (GWG) among low-risk, healthy pregnant women with no comorbidities or gestational complications. We investigated perinatal outcomes of these pregnancies according to GWG as per the 2009 National Academy of Medicine (NAM) recommendations. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of low-risk pregnant women giving birth at term between January 2016 and December 2020. Inclusion criteria were normal pregestational body mass index (pBMI) (18.5-24.9 kg/m2) and no pregestational or gestational complication. Self-reported prepregnancy weight was used to calculate pBMI; GWG was the difference between maternal weight at childbirth and prepregnancy weight. Women were classified according to the 2009 NAM guidelines for GWG: insufficient (iGWG, <11.5 kg), adequate (aGWG, 11.5-16 kg), and excessive (eGWG, >16 kg). Logistic regression analysis with aGWG as referent was performed to independently estimate dose-response associations. Results: During the study period, there were 4,127 (33.1%) births fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Fifty-two percent of women gained outside the recommended range: 33.5% had iGWG and 18.7% had eGWG. iGWG women were 40% more likely to have early-term births and small for gestational age neonates. In turn, eGWG women displayed increased odds of prolonged pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.32), cesarean section in labor (aOR 1.50), high-degree perineal tears (aOR 2.04), postpartum hemorrhage ≥1,000 mL (aOR 1.54), and large for gestational age newborns (aOR 1.83). Conclusion: Our data show that abnormal GWG independently associates with heightened risk of adverse outcomes among healthy, low-risk pregnant women with normal pBMI and no comorbidity or gestational complication.

Abstract
Affective states play a role in dietary behaviors. Yet, little research has studied within-subjects associations between affect and diet during pregnancy. We examined the acute bidirectional relationships between affect and food intake and moderation by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) in low-income, Hispanic pregnant women using ecological momentary assessment (EMA). Women (N = 57) completed four days of EMA during their first trimester. Women responded to five random prompts per day about their current affect and past two-hour food intake. Higher positive affect (PA) or lower negative affect (NA) predicted greater likelihood of fruit/vegetable consumption in the next two hours in women with lower pre-pregnancy BMI and lower likelihood in women with higher pre-pregnancy BMI. Higher PA predicted less likelihood of fast food consumption in the next two hours in women with lower pre-pregnancy BMI and slightly higher likelihood in women with higher pre-pregnancy BMI. Women with lower pre-pregnancy BMI had higher PA when they reported consuming chips/fries in the past two hours, and women with higher pre-pregnancy BMI had lower PA when they reported consumption of chips/fries in the past two hours. Results showed differential relationships between affect and food intake as a function of pre-pregnancy BMI.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is a common and serious pregnancy-specific disorder, which is closely linked with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate whether maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) was associated with preeclampsia and its phenotypes. In this prospective study, 32,531 women with singleton pregnancies were finally included. Compared with women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI, women with overweight and obesity were at increased risk of PE (RR = 1.62, 95%CI: 1.57−1.66; RR = 2.04, 95%CI: 1.97−2.11, respectively), while those who were underweight had a lower risk of PE (RR = 0.84, 95%CI: 0.81−0.88). When compared with women who gained adequate GWG, pregnant women with inadequate GWG and excessive GWG had an increased risk of PE (RR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.12−1.19; RR = 1.56, 95%CI: 1.52−1.60, respectively). The observed increased risk was generally similar for mild-, severe-, early- and late-onset PE, and the reduced risk was similar for severe- and late-onset PE. No significant interactions between GWG and pre-pregnancy BMI on the risk of PE were identified (p-interaction > 0.05). In conclusion, pre-pregnancy overweight or obesity and excessive GWG have established risk factors for PE, and that the potential risk may vary according to PE phenotypes. Moreover, the synergistic effect that may exist between pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG.

Dalfra' MG, Burlina S, Lapolla A. Weight gain during pregnancy: A narrative review on the recent evidences. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2022; 188:109913. [PMID: 35568262 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.109913] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Gestational weight gain is necessary for the normal fetus development, in fact a series of studies have evidenced that both low and excessive gestational weight gain is associated with negative fetal-neonatal outcomes. So, evidences on the optimal gestational weight gain across the ranges of the pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index are necessary. In this context, while for normal weight and underweight the recommendations of IOM are clearly stated and supported by well designed and conducted clinical studies, those for the obese pregnant women are even today debated. Pre-pregnancy obesity is associated with high risk to develop hypertension, gestational diabetes, cesarean section and high birth weight. The Institute of Medicine guidelines, in 2009, recommended that women with obesity gain 11-20 lb at a rate of 0.5 lb/week during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Successively, taking into account a series of meta-analysis, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists emphasized that the IOM weight gain targets for obese pregnant women are too high. However the high risk to have babies small for gestational age, related to a low weight gain or a losing of weight during pregnancy, has also been demonstrated. More recent studies have taken into consideration the maternal and fetal outcomes of obese pregnant women with different obesity class (I,II,III) and different weight gain during pregnancy. The analysis of these studies, discussed in this narrative review, show that the appropriate gestational weight gain should be personalized considering the three obesity class; furthermore both an upper and lower limit of gestational weight gain should be reconsidered in order to prevent the negative maternal and fetal outcomes in these women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present umbrella review evaluated risk factors prior to conception associated with placental abruption based on meta-analyses and systematic reviews. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science until June 25, 2021. All meta-analyses that had focused on assessing the risk factors associated with placental abruption were included. We calculated summary effect estimates, 95% CI, heterogeneity I2, 95% prediction interval, small-study effects, excess significance biases, and sensitive analysis. The quality of the meta-analyses was evaluated with A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2). RESULTS There was no risk factor in the present umbrella review with the high level of evidence (class I or II). Eight risk factors including maternal asthma (RR 1.29 95% CI 1.14, 1.47), prior cesarean section (RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.35-1.42), cocaine using (RR 4.55, 95% CI 1.78-6.50), endometriosis (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.12-1.76), chronic hypertension (OR 3.13, 95% CI 2.04-4.80), advanced maternal age (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.35-1.54), maternal smoking (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.75-1.85) (RR 1.65, 95% CI 1.51-1.80), and use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.70-2.06) were graded as suggestive evidence (class III). The other four risk factors including pre-pregnancy underweight (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.12-1.70), preeclampsia (OR 1.73, 95% CI 1.47-2.04), uterine leiomyoma (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.38-3.88), and marijuana use (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.32-2.40) were graded as risk factors with weak evidence (class IV). CONCLUSION Maternal asthma, prior cesarean section, cocaine use, endometriosis, chronic hypertension, advanced maternal age, maternal smoking, and use of ART, pre-pregnancy underweight, preeclampsia, uterine leiomyoma, and marijuana use were risk factors associated with placental abruption. Although factors associated with placental abruption have been investigated, the current meta-analytic associations cannot disentangle the complex etiology of placental abruption mainly due to their low quality of evidence.

When husband migrate: effects of international migration of husbands on fetal outcomes, body mass index and gestational weight of female spouses that stay behind. BMC Public Health 2022; 22:211. [PMID: 35105324 PMCID: PMC8805333 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-022-12615-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND International labour migration continues to be an integral component in Sri Lanka's economic development. Previous research indicates an adverse perinatal outcome in association with low maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (PBMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG). However, evidence of this association is limited in migrant families. This study aims to investigate the associations between PBMI, GWG among lactating mothers (LM), and fetal outcomes in migrant households, where the father is the migrant worker. METHODS A secondary data analysis was done using a nationally representative sample of 7,199 LM. There were 284 LM whose husbands were international migrant workers. Maternal factors were taken as PBMI<18.5 kg/m2 and GWG<7kg. Preterm birth and low birth weight (LBW) were taken as fetal outcomes. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess the associated factors. RESULTS There was significant difference between LM from migrant and non-migrant households with regards to place of residency, ethnicity, household monthly income, household food security, average household members, husband's education and husband's age. Among migrant, PBMI<18.5 kg/m2 was associated with current BMI and mode of delivery. Migrant LM had significantly higher weight gain (≥12 kg) during pregnancy (p=0.005), were multiparous (p=0.008), delivered in private hospital (p=0.000), lesser percentage of underweight (p=0.002) and higher birthweight (p=0.03) than non-migrant LM. Logistic regression model revealed that for each kilogram increment in birthweight and GWG, preterm delivery decreased by 89%(OR=0.11;95%CI:0.04-0.28) and LBW decreased by 12%(OR=0.89;95%CI:0.81-0.97) respectively. Caesarean deliveries were positively associated with low GWG. CONCLUSION Our study showed LM in migrant families had invested remittances to utilize private health facilities for deliveries, to improve weight gain during pregnancy and adequate PBMI to deliver higher birth weight babies. In depth study is needed to understand further utilisation of remittances to improve fetal outcomes by increasing birthweight and GWG in migrant families.

Abstract
Background: The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) is a dietary pattern effective in terms of prevention of many diseases such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Recently, many studies have paid attention to nutritional factors during pregnancy as a modifiable contributor to GDM risk.Objective: to investigate associations of nutrients intakes and MedDiet pattern of eating with risk of GDM.Subjects/Methods: This study conducted on N = 120; Pregnant women with GDM (n = 60) and without controls (n = 60). The dietary habits were assessed by a dietary history method and a validated food frequency questionnaire. We calculated a MedDiet score which measures the degree of adherence to a Med Diet.Result: A low Med Diet score was found in pregnant women with and without gestational diabetes in 46.7% and 38.8% of cases, respectively, with no significant difference. Our data showed that the higher the adherence score to the MedDiet, the lower the fasting blood glucose level and the plasma glucose 2 h post load. These findings concerned the two groups studied (P < 10-3). We also noted that controls had a significantly higher intake of legumes, vegetables and fish. Monounsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids consumption was significantly higher in the control group (2.3 ± 0.8 vs 1.7 ± 0.7, P < 10-3). GDM subjects consumed significantly more dairy products and cereals (P < 10-3). After adjustment for confounders, no nutrient was associated with the risk of developing gestational diabetes except vitamin D intake (OR 0.29 [0.15-0.54], P < 10-3) which had a protective effect.Conclusion: Our study underlines the importance of adequate vitamin D intake during pregnancy and suggests that the MedDiet may reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. polycystic ovary syndrome and obesity are associated with reduced fertility. The effect of metabolic syndrome on the success of infertility treatment and pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing ovulation induction has not been investigated. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to determine the associations of metabolic syndrome on the rate of live birth after ovulation induction and pregnancy complications in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome and determine whether there is a difference in outcomes concerning specific medications used for ovulation induction. STUDY DESIGN This prospective cohort analysis used data collected from participants in the Pregnancy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome II clinical trial conducted by the Reproductive Medicine Network. In the Pregnancy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome II trial, 750 women with polycystic ovary syndrome and infertility were randomized to either clomiphene citrate or letrozole for ovulation induction for 1 to 5 cycles or until pregnancy occurred. Cox regression and modified Poisson regression, chi-square test, and Student t test or Wilcoxon test were used in this study. Outcomes of interest were rates of live birth and clinical pregnancy and pregnancy complications. Having metabolic syndrome was defined by the presence of at least 3 of 5 cardiometabolic risk factors (waist circumference of >88 cm, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of <50 mg/dL, triglycerides of ≥150 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure of ≥130 or diastolic blood pressure of ≥85 mm Hg, and fasting glucose of >100 mg/dL). In addition, we used a continuous metabolic syndrome z score. Body mass index categories were defined as normal (body mass index of <25 kg/m2), high (25 to 35 kg/m2), and very high (>35 kg/m2). RESULTS As illustrated in the Table, early pregnancy losses showed no difference by metabolic syndrome. Fewer women achieved a clinical pregnancy (20.5% vs 29.7%; P=.007) or had a live birth (16.5% vs 27%; P=.001) in the presence of metabolic syndrome. Early pregnancy losses showed no difference by metabolic syndrome status. However, at least 1 pregnancy complication occurred more often with metabolic syndrome: 61.9% (26 of 42 cases) with metabolic syndrome vs 44.4% (59 of 133 cases) (P=.05) without metabolic syndrome. Gestational diabetes mellitus (35.7% vs 18.2%; P=.02) and macrosomia (21.4% vs 8.3%; P=.02) were more common in the presence of metabolic syndrome. After adjustment for other potential confounders, the rate ratio for live births for a 1-unit change in the metabolic syndrome z score was 0.89 (95% confidence interval, 0.79-1.00; P=.04) for those whose body mass index was 25 to 35 kg/m2. For the very high body mass index subgroup (>35 kg/m2), the independent effects of metabolic syndrome from obesity were harder to discern. The rate of live birth was higher with the use of letrozole, although metabolic syndrome had a different detrimental effect concerning the medication given. The overall incidence of pregnancy complications was high (approximately 49%) in the Pregnancy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome II trial and the 2 medications. Letrozole was associated with more obstetrical complications in the presence of metabolic syndrome, and clomiphene was associated with a lower rate of live birth rate when metabolic syndrome was present. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor that lowers the rate of live birth after ovulation for women with polycystic ovary syndrome, independent of obesity, and it is particularly associated with a lower rate of live birth for women using clomiphene compared with women using letrozole. In addition, metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for pregnancy complications for women with obesity using letrozole. Furthermore, having metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus and macrosomia.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by the presence of insulin resistance, and women with PCOS have high prevalence of gestational diabetes (GDM). Both conditions have been associated with increased risk for pregnancy complications such as preterm birth, preeclampsia and increased offspring birth weight. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of GDM in women with PCOS using both previous and new diagnostic criteria, and to analyse whether the risk of pregnancy complications increased with the presence of GDM. In addition, we aimed to assess the response to metformin treatment in PCOS women with GDM. We performed post-hoc analysis of three prospective, double blinded studies of altogether 791 pregnant women with PCOS randomized to either metformin or placebo treatment from first trimester to delivery. Glucose data allowing GDM classification after previous (WHO 1999) and new (WHO 2013 and Norwegian 2017) diagnostic criteria were available for 722 of the women. Complications such as preeclampsia, late miscarriage and preterm birth, birth weight and gestational age were correlated to the presence of GDM and metformin treatment. The prevalence of GDM was 28.3% (WHO 1999), 41.2% (WHO 2013) and 27.2% (Norwegian 2017). Having GDM already in first trimester associated with increased risk for late miscarriage (p<0.01). Having GDM according to newer criteria correlated to increased maternal age and BMI (p<0.001). Otherwise, having GDM (any criteria) correlated neither to the development of preeclampsia, nor to birth weight z-score or the proportion of offspring being large for gestational weight. Maternal age and BMI, parity and gestational weight gain, but not GDM or metformin treatment, were determinants for birth weight z-score. Conclusion: in pregnant women with PCOS, having GDM did not increase the risk for other pregnancy complications except for an increased risk for late miscarriage among those with GDM already in the first trimester.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide nationally representative estimates of gestational weight gain (GWG) and identify maternal characteristics associated with inadequate GWG in France. DESIGN A population-based study using data from the French National Perinatal Survey: 2010 and 2016. SETTING All maternity units in metropolitan, mainland France (n=535 in 2010; n=493 in 2016). PARTICIPANTS Singleton live births with GWG data (N=24 850). PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES GWG was calculated as end of pregnancy minus pre-pregnancy weight (kg) and categorised as 'insufficient', 'adequate', or 'excessive' using 2009 Institute of Medicine thresholds. Classification accounted for pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2; underweight (<18.5), normal weight (18.5-24.9), overweight (25-29.9), obese (≥30)) and gestational age at birth. We estimated average GWG and the percentage of women in each GWG category. Polytomous logistic regression identified characteristics associated with GWG adequacy. RESULTS Average GWG was 13.0 kg (SD 5.6), with 26.8% of women gaining insufficiently, 37.0% adequately and 36.1% excessively. Among other factors, insufficient GWG was associated with underweight (vs normal weight; adjusted OR (aOR) 1.4, 95% CI 1.2 to 1.5) and obese (aOR 1.5, 95% CI 1.4 to 1.7) BMI. Excessive GWG was associated with overweight (aOR 2.8, 95% CI 2.6 to 3.1) and obese BMI (aOR 3.3, 95% CI 2.9 to 3.6). Examining obesity classes separately, odds of insufficient GWG increased from obesity class I to III, while odds of excessive GWG decreased from obesity class I to III. Primiparity (insufficient: aOR 0.9, 95% CI 0.9 to 1.0; excessive: aOR 1.2, 95% CI 1.2 to 1.3), maternal characteristics indicative of lower socioeconomic status, and continuing or quitting smoking during pregnancy were also associated with inadequate GWG. CONCLUSIONS In France, insufficient and excessive GWG are common. For optimal outcomes, clinician education, with special attention to the needs of higher risk/vulnerable groups, is needed to ensure all women receive appropriate advice for recommended GWG.

Abstract
In 2009, the United States Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported the optimal gestational weight gain (GWG) during twin pregnancy based on the pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). However, there are ethnic variations in the relationship between GWG and pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to establish the criteria for optimal GWG during twin pregnancy in Japan. The study included cases of dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy registered in the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology Successive Pregnancy Birth Registry System between 2013 and 2017. We analyzed data for cases wherein both babies were appropriate for gestational age and delivered at term. Cases were classified into four groups based on the pre-pregnancy BMI: underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5 kg/m2 ≤BMI< 25.0 kg/m2), overweight (25.0 kg/m2 ≤BMI< 30.0 kg/m2), and obese (BMI ≥30.0 kg/m2) and we calculated the 25th-75th percentile range for GWG for the cases. The 3,936 cases were included. The GWG ranges were 11.5-16.5 kg, 10.3-16.0 kg, 6.9-14.7 kg, and 2.2-11.7 kg in the underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese groups, respectively. Thus, in the current study, the optimal GWG during twin pregnancy was lower than that specified by the IOM criteria. Factoring this in maternal management may improve the outcomes of twin pregnancies in Japan.

Gestational weight gain in sub-Saharan Africa: Estimation based on pseudo-cohort design. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0252247. [PMID: 34038488 PMCID: PMC8153429 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0252247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 04/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Inadequate or excess gestational weight gain (GWG) leads to multiple undesirable birth outcomes. Yet, in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) little is known about the weight gain pattern in pregnancy. The purpose of the study is to estimate the average gestational weight gain (GWG) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and to examined whether there had been recent improvements or not. Methods Based on cross-sectional anthropometric data extracted from multiple Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in SSA, we estimated the average GWG in the region. Pseudo-cohort design was used to reconstruct GWG trajectories based on aggregated data of 110,482 women extracted from 30 recent surveys. Trend in GWG between 2000 and 2015 was determined using the data of 11 SSA countries. Pre-pregnancy weight was estimated based on the weight of non-pregnant women at risk of conception. Results On average, women in SSA gain inadequate weight (6.6 kg, 95% confidence interval, 6.0–7.2) over pregnancy. No meaningful gain was observed in the first trimester; whereas, women in the second and third trimesters put on 2.2 and 3.2 kg, respectively. The highest weight gain (10.5, 8.2–12.9 kg) was observed in Southern African sub-region and the lowest in Western Africa (5.8, 5.0–6.6 kg). The GWG among women who had secondary or above education (9.5, 8.2–10.9 kg) was higher than women with lower education (5.0, 4.3–5.8 kg). Likewise, GWG in women from richest households (9.0, 7.2–10.7 kg) was superior to those from poorest households (6.1, 5.3–7.0 kg). The estimated recent (2015–20) mean GWG (6.6, 5.8–7.4 kg) was not significantly different from what had been at beginning of the new millennium (6.7, 5.9–7.5 kg). Conclusion In SSA GWG is extremely low and is not showing improvements.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW The purpose of this review was to compare physiological and metabolic changes in singleton and twin gestations and to review pregnancy outcomes with respect to current weight gain guidelines. RECENT FINDINGS Reviews in singleton gestations show that weight gain below the recommended guidelines has been associated with small for gestational age infants (less than the 10th percentile) which place these infants at increased risk for neonatal morbidities. Observational studies have shown that adequate and excessive gestational weight gain in twin gestations has been associated with longer gestations and less preterm birth along with increased birth weight at delivery. Weight gain in pregnancy has been identified as a factor that affects both maternal and infant health outcomes in singleton and twin gestations. There is a larger body of research examining these effects in singleton gestations than twin gestations; however, in both groups, the data remain mostly observational and retrospective. Thus far, the research supports the Institute of Medicine recommended weight gain guidelines in singleton and twin gestations for women with normal BMI, but future research should be directed toward underweight and overweight women and the long-term outcomes in all mothers and their offspring.

Pregnancy weight gain may affect perinatal outcomes, quality of life during pregnancy, and child-bearing expenses: an observational cohort study. Arch Gynecol Obstet 2021; 304:599-608. [PMID: 33665682 DOI: 10.1007/s00404-021-05983-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to examine the effect of gestational weight gain (GWG) on perinatal outcomes, quality of life (QoL) during pregnancy, and medical costs of childbirth. METHODS The observational cohort comprised 2210 pregnant women who were classified into three groups based on their pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and GWG in relation to the 2020 Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommendations. The data were collected on perinatal outcomes, urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy, changes in sexual function, and medical costs of hospitalization for delivery. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were employed to explore those associations. RESULTS Only 42.1% of women met the 2020 IOM guidelines. After adjustments for potential confounding factors, women with above-normal GWG had adverse pregnancy outcomes, including a large fetal head circumference and macrosomia, and women with below-normal GWG were more likely to deliver low-birthweight fetuses preterm than women with normal GWG. Only 16.8% of women reported sexual activity during pregnancy. There were not significant differences in sexual activity and satisfaction, or QoL among the three GWG groups. Child-bearing expenses were higher for women with above-normal GWG than for women with normal GWG. Although the child-bearing expenses were higher for the above-normal GWG, the proportion of women with expenses above the median increased according to pre-pregnancy BMI. CONCLUSION Our results show that inappropriate GWG is associated with a greater risk of adverse perinatal outcomes and increased medical expenses for delivery. Healthcare providers are advised to counsel women to maintain their GWG following the 2020 IOM recommendations throughout pregnancy.

Int J Obes (Lond) 2021; 45:1044-1051. [PMID: 33627772 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-021-00769-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2020] [Revised: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends gestational weight gain (GWG) of 5-9 kg in women with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2. Debate continues as to whether GWG less than that recommended is safe in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The study objective was to examine maternal and infant outcomes for obese women with GDM who lost weight or gained 0-5 kg during pregnancy. SUBJECTS/METHODS A 7-year retrospective cohort study of pregnancy outcomes for obese women with GDM recorded in the Atlantic Diabetes in Pregnancy database was conducted. We examined pregnancy outcomes for mothers with GDM and a BMI ≥ 30 who either lost weight or gained 0-5 kg (Group 1, n = 237) and women who gained 5-9 kg (Group 2, n = 77). We further divided groups 1 and 2 into women treated by diet only (GDM-D) (n = 120) and those requiring additional treatment with insulin (GDM-I) (n = 194). RESULTS GDM-D women in Group 1 were more likely to deliver earlier (38.9 vs 39.8 weeks, p < 0.01), to develop pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) (15.4% v 0%; p = 0.02) or have a post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) (13.2% vs 0, p = 0.03) compared to women in Group 2. Rates of prematurity were higher in group 1 vs 2 (14.3% vs 0%, p = 0.03). However, further logistic regression analysis adjusted for smoking status, family history of diabetes, ethnicity and age determined no significant difference in maternal or infant outcomes for women in Group 1 compared to those in Group 2. CONCLUSION In our population, weight gain less than IOM guideline appears safe and is not associated with any further increase in adverse outcomes. However, validation through a prospective study with a larger obese GDM cohort is required before the findings presented here could be recommended for routine clinical use.

Gestational diabetes mellitus, pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain predicts fetal growth and neonatal outcomes. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2021; 42:307-312. [PMID: 33745597 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2021.01.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are salient predictors of pregnancy-outcomes. However, findings on the association between GDM, BMI, and GWG with fetal growth measures are limited. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GDM on fetal growth measures and birth outcomes. METHODS All participants came from Tongji Maternal and Child health cohort, in which pregnant women were enrolled before 16 weeks of gestation and had their weights measured regularly during antenatal visits. GDM was diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during 24-28 weeks of gestation. Ultrasound measurements of fetal bi-parietal diameters (BPD), head circumferences (HC), abdominal circumferences (AC) and femur length (FL) before birth were collected and neonate outcomes were obtained from the hospital records. Odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression to assess the association of GDM, pre-pregnancy BMI, and GWG with fetal growth measures of ultrasound and birth outcomes, while controlling confounding. RESULTS Of 3253 singleton pregnant women, 293 (9.0%) were diagnosed with GDM, 357 (11.0%) were overweight before pregnancy, and 1995 (61.3%) had excessive GWG. GDM was associated with decreased intrauterine fetal growth measurements including BPD and AC. Maternal pre-pregnancy overweight was associated with increased fetal HC and neonatal birth weight and length, women gained excessive GWG had increased fetal growth measurements of BPD, HC, AC, FL, neonatal birth weight and length. Offspring of GDM women had increased odds of cesarean section 1.31 (1.03, 1.66) and preterm birth 2.02 (1.05, 3.91) in unadjusted models, but these associations disappeared after adjustment. Compared with neonate born to mothers with normal pre-pregnancy weight, those born to underweight mother had higher risk of SGA, and lower risk of cesarean section, LGA and macrosamia, whereas those born to overweight mother had increased risk of cesarean section, LGA and macrosamia. Compared with neonate born to mothers of adequate GWG, neonate of women with excessive GWG had elevated risk of cesarean section, LGA and macrosamia, but lower risk of preterm birth and SGA. CONCLUSION Pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG and GDM all associated with fetal growth and birth outcomes. The effect of GDM decreased after adjusting pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG. Early screening and management of GDM, preventing excessive GWG could help protect fetuses of GDM mothers from adverse birth outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early lifestyle intervention, including antenatal nutrition education, is required to reduce the triple burden of malnutrition. Understanding healthcare professionals' views and experiences is essential for improving future nutrition education programmes for Indonesian pregnant women. This study aimed to investigate the views of Indonesian antenatal healthcare professionals regarding nutrition education for pregnant women and the improvements required to provide more effective antenatal nutrition education. METHODS A descriptive qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews was conducted with 24 healthcare professionals, including nutritionists (n = 10), midwives (n = 9) and obstetricians (n = 5) in Malang, Indonesia, between December 2018 and January 2019. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. RESULTS The study identified four main themes. First, healthcare professionals were aware of the importance of providing antenatal nutrition education, which included supporting its targeted delivery. Second, there were differing views on who should provide nutrition education. Most midwives and obstetricians viewed nutritionists as the prime nutrition education provider. Nutritionists were confident in their capability to provide nutrition education. However, some nutritionists reported that only a few women visited primary health centres and received nutrition counselling via this pathway. Third, healthcare professionals revealed some barriers in providing education for women. These barriers included a limited number of nutritionists, lack of consistent guidelines, lack of healthcare professionals' nutrition knowledge and lack of time during antenatal care services. Fourth, participants expressed the need to strengthen some system elements, including reinforcing collaboration, developing guidelines, and enhancing capacity building to improve future antenatal nutrition education. CONCLUSIONS Healthcare professionals play a central role in the provision of antenatal nutrition education. This study highlighted the importance of educational models that incorporate various antenatal nutrition education delivery strategies. These methods include maximizing referral systems and optimizing education through multiple delivery methods, from digital modes to traditional face-to-face nutrition education in pregnancy classes and community-based health services.

Abstract
AIMS Early identification of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) aims to reduce the risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Currently, no acknowledged biomarker has proven clinically useful for the accurate prediction of GDM. In this study, we tested whether serum putrescine level changed in the first trimester and could improve the prediction of GDM. METHODS This study is a nested case-control study conducted in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. We examined serum putrescine at 8-12 weeks pregnancy in 47 women with GDM and 47 age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched normoglycaemic women. Anthropometric, clinical and laboratory variables were obtained during the same period. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the discrimination and calibration of the prediction models. RESULTS Serum putrescine in the first trimester was significantly higher in women who later developed GDM. When using putrescine alone to predict the risk of GDM, the AUC of the nomogram was 0.904 (sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 83%, 95% CI=0.832-0.976, P<0.001). When combined with traditional risk factors (prepregnant BMI and fasting blood glucose), the AUC was 0.951 (sensitivity of 89.4% and specificity of 91.5%, 95% CI=0.906-0.995, P<0.001). CONCLUSION This study revealed that GDM women had an elevated level of serum putrescine in the first trimester. Circulating putrescine may serve as a valuable predictive biomarker for GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with elevated body mass index are encouraged to lose weight before pregnancy, but no trials have tested the effects of prepregnancy weight loss on health outcomes. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine whether prepregnancy weight loss reduces gestational weight gain and improves pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Pragmatic randomized clinical trial was conducted between May 2015 and October 2019 at Kaiser Permanente Northwest, an integrated health system. Data collection was blind to condition assignment. Eligible participants were women aged 18 to 40 years with a body mass index of ≥27 kg/m2 who were planning pregnancy within 2 years. Recruitment contacts were sent to 27,665 health system members who met age and body mass index criteria; 329 women attended screening visits, and 326 were randomized. They were randomized to either a behavioral weight loss intervention or usual care control. The intervention consisted of health coaching phone sessions weekly for 6 months and then monthly for 18 months or until end of pregnancy. We used logistic regression to examine the a priori primary hypothesis that participants in the intervention would be less likely to exceed National Academy of Medicine guidelines for gestational weight gain during each trimester and overall. Secondary and exploratory outcomes included absolute weight gain before and during pregnancy and perinatal and newborn outcomes. RESULTS Of the 326 participants, 169 had singleton pregnancies lasting ≥14 weeks (analytical cohort: intervention, 89; control, 80). At baseline, mean age was 31.3±3.5 years, and body mass index was 34.8±5.8 kg/m2. Participants in the intervention group lost more weight before pregnancy than those in the control group (-0.25±0.51 vs -0.03±0.21 kg/wk; P<.001). However, participants in the intervention group gained more weight than those in the control group in the second trimester (0.42±0.26 vs 0.33±0.28 kg/wk; P=.04) and third trimester (0.56±0.37 vs 0.43±0.33 kg/wk; P=.02) and overall (13.2±8.20 vs 10.3±7.41 kg; P=.03). Nevertheless, arms did not differ in rates of exceeding gestational weight gain guidelines at any time point. Spontaneous pregnancy loss was less common in the intervention arm than in the control arm (8 [4.9%] vs 19 [11.8%]; odds ratio, 0.39 [0.16-0.92]), but we found no other differences in the secondary or exploratory outcomes. CONCLUSION Participation in the prepregnancy weight loss intervention had no effect on women's likelihood of exceeding gestational weight gain guidelines. Although the intervention group successfully lost weight before conception, the intervention group was associated with greater weight gain in late pregnancy. To effectively reduce weight throughout pregnancy and improve maternal and child outcomes, prepregnancy weight loss interventions may need to be combined with intensive weight management that continues throughout delivery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) is a modifiable risk factor associated with maternal and infant health, and pregnancy outcomes. However, several factors influence the provision of health promotion advice including professional knowledge. This review aims to summarize published evidence relating to midwives' and obstetricians' knowledge of GWG guidelines. METHODS Electronic database searches were carried out using EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database. English-language studies and quantitative results were included. Identified studies were screened by two authors independently. Disagreements were discussed with a third reviewer. A review protocol was submitted for registration with PROSPERO in May 2019. RESULTS From 10 960 records identified in preliminary searches, 12 studies reporting on 2652 midwives and obstetricians collectively were included. All studies were conducted in high-income countries. Synthesis of data was difficult as guidelines and methods for assessing knowledge varied. Midwives were mainly reported as the leading participant, with limited data available on obstetrician knowledge. Both groups demonstrated insufficient knowledge of GWG guidelines. Self-reported knowledge was significantly higher than those assessed by direct knowledge. CONCLUSIONS This review highlights a substantial gap in health care professionals' knowledge of GWG guideline content which needs to be addressed. Differences between professionals' direct knowledge and self-reported knowledge are important for clinical practice as it may inhibit the provision of evidence-based advice. It is important to accurately assess knowledge in this area to develop further training for midwives and obstetricians to improve health promotion during pregnancy.

Shimura M, Obata S, Misumi T, Miyagi E, Aoki S. Are the Institute of Medicine guidelines for optimal gestational weight gain in twin pregnancies applicable to Japanese women? J Obstet Gynaecol Res 2020; 47:337-342. [PMID: 33051925 DOI: 10.1111/jog.14529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate whether the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines for optimal gestational weight gain (GWG) in twin pregnancies are applicable to Japanese women. METHODS This was a retrospective study involving women who delivered full-term twins at our tertiary center diagnosed with a normal prepregnancy body mass index. The women were divided into two groups, according to the optimal GWG recommended by the IOM (16.8-24.5 kg): the adequate GWG (AGWG) group with GWG meeting the guidelines and the low GWG (LGWG) group with GWG below the guidelines. Next, the women were divided into two groups according to birthweight: a group with both twins born appropriate for gestational age (AGA group) and a group with one or both twins born small for gestational age (SGA group). Their GWG as well as their pregnancy outcomes were compared. RESULTS A total of 265 women were included. The AGWG group had a significantly higher proportion of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy than the LGWG group. There was no significant difference in the proportion of women with both twins born AGA or the rate of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. Meanwhile, the median GWG in the AGA group was 13.6 kg, which was significantly higher than 12.0 kg in the SGA group. And even the median GWG in the AGA group was below the lower limit of the IOM guidelines. CONCLUSION The optimal GWG for Japanese women with twin pregnancies may be below the IOM guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Excessive maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) is a risk factor for maternal and fetal complications. The lipid profile changes physiologically during pregnancy. Weight gain can affect lipid metabolism. The hypothesis of the study was that apoB levels early in pregnancy are associated with excessive GWG and predictive for adverse outcomes. METHODS Out of 547 patients there were 95 women with inadequate GWG, 171 with adequate GWG, and 281 with excessive GWG. Out of 581 patients there were 14 patients with pregnancy-induced hypertonus/pre-eclampsia, 67 with small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants, and 7 with fetal growth restriction (FGR). ApoB levels were measured by ELISA. RESULTS There was no significant difference in apoB levels between the different GWG groups. We found significantly higher levels of apoB in overweight and obese patients compared to those with normal BMI. Smoking was correlated with higher apoB levels. There were no differences either between women with PIH/PE and normotensive women or between SGA/IUGR and pregnancies without. Women with pre-existing hypertension showed significantly higher apoB levels than the control group. CONCLUSIONS ApoB cannot be used as a marker for identifying the risk of excessive GWG or adverse pregnancy outcomes early in pregnancy. However, it may be involved in the pathophysiology of adverse pregnancy outcomes in high-risk patients.

Predictors of Gestational Weight Gain in a Low-Income Hispanic Population: Sociodemographic Characteristics, Health Behaviors, and Psychosocial Stressors. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17010352. [PMID: 31947951 PMCID: PMC6981933 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17010352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2019] [Revised: 12/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Hispanic women have a higher prevalence of weight associated complications in pregnancy. This ethnic disparity is likely related to behavior patterns, social circumstances, environmental exposures, and access to healthcare, rather than biologic differences. The objective was to determine associations between sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, and psychosocial stressors and gestational weight gain (GWG) in low-income Hispanic women. During pregnancy, information on sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, and psychosocial stressors were collected. Linear regression estimated mean differences in GWG by selected predictors. Multinomial logistic regression estimated odds of inadequate and excessive GWG by selected predictors. Five-hundred and eight women were included, 38% had inadequate and 28% had excessive GWG; 57% with a normal pre-pregnancy BMI had inadequate GWG. Compared to women with normal BMI, women with overweight or obesity were more likely to have excessive GWG (aRRR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.04, 3.40 and aRRR = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.08, 3.62, respectively). Mean total GWG was higher among women who were nulliparous (ß = 1.34 kg, 95% CI: 0.38, 2.29) and those who engaged in ≥3 h of screen time daily (ß = 0.98 kg, 95% CI: 0.02, 1.94), and lower among women who were physically active during pregnancy (ß = −1.00 kg, 95% CI: −1.99, −0.03). Eating breakfast daily was associated with lower risk of inadequate GWG (aRRR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.26, 0.83). Depressive symptoms and poor adherence to dietary recommendations were prevalent, but none of the psychosocial or dietary variables were associated with GWG. In this cohort of primarily immigrant, low-income, Hispanic women, there were high rates of poor adherence to diet and physical activity recommendations, and a majority of women did not meet GWG guidelines. Modifiable health behaviors were associated with GWG, and their promotion should be included in prenatal care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prepregnancy obesity and extensive weight gain can lead to diseases in the offspring later in life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of anthropometric and metabolic factors on the fetal autonomic nervous system (ANS) in uncomplicated pregnancies. METHODS A total of 184 pregnant women in the second or third trimester were included, and for 104 women, maternal insulin sensitivity (ISI) was determined. Fetal heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) were determined by magnetic recording. Associations of maternal prepregnancy BMI, weight gain, and ISI with fetal HR and HRV were evaluated by ANCOVA, partial correlation, and mediation analysis. RESULTS HR was increased and HRV decreased in fetuses of mothers with overweight or obesity in comparison to normal-weight mothers. Fetal HR was negatively correlated with maternal weight gain. Maternal prepregnancy BMI was positively correlated with fetal high frequency and was negatively correlated with low frequency and low/high frequency ratio. Maternal ISI showed a negative correlation with fetal HR. CONCLUSIONS The results show that the fetal ANS is sensitive to alterations of prepregnancy BMI, weight changes, and glucose metabolism. These findings highlight the importance of the intrauterine environment on the developing ANS and the possible programming of obesity.

Abstract
Introduction Background: gestational weight gain (GWG) is one of the most commonly used indicators in prenatal care, and probably the most influential factor in perinatal outcomes. Objective: to determine the extent to which the GWG of pregnant women from the Ribera Health Department (Valencia) meets GWG international standards as recommended by the U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM). Methods: a retrospective observational study of a sample of 4,361 women who gave birth at Hospital Universitario de la Ribera between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2015. Pregnant women were classified according to GWG international recommendations: adequate weight gain, above and below. Results: a higher GWG increases the risk of cesarean delivery or instrumental delivery (OR = 1.454, p < 0.001; OR = 1.442, p < 0.001, respectively), and of having a macrosomic or larger newborn for gestational age (OR = 3.851, p = 0.008; OR = 1.749, p < 0.001, respectively) as compared to an appropriate GWG. GWG is related to birth weight (p < 0.001). Conclusions: the GPG recommendations issued by the IOM are generally well adapted to pregnant women in our environment. It has been found that a GPG other than these recommendations increases the probability of obtaining poor perinatal outcomes. Nevertheless, a more personalized approach is needed, adapting international recommendations to prenatal control for each of the pre-pregnancy BMI categories.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Pre-eclampsia is a disorder that may occur during pregnancy but is still unknown and / or multifactorial causes. Objective: To verify whether physical exercise and metformin may be helpful in preventing preeclampsia. Method: This is a systematic review of the literature in PubMed / MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS and Cochrane. This review followed the critiques of the PRISMA checklist. Bias assessment was used for the Cochrane Handbook for Systematical Reviews of Interventions (Version 5.1.0) for clinical trials and the Downs and Black scale for cohort and case-control studies. Results: 17 studies were within the established criteria. The subjects evaluated were: pre-eclampsia, cardiovascular metabolic factors, physiotherapeutic therapies and the effects of physical exercise and metformin on the circulatory system. Conclusion: There is a need for adapted techniques and new protocols according to the contingencies and complications of pregnancy. During pregnancy, it is suggested a greater interdisciplinarity of knowledge among professionals and that the therapy receives adjustments against the metabolic alterations of the reproductive system. In order to prevent preeclampsia, the study suggests a program of individual exercises that include greater assistance, verification and / or comprehension of possible changes and their limits during pregnancy. As well as, the adjuvant use of metformin of 1000 mg/d in the initial phase, with the purpose of maintaining the effects of the drug due to renal clearance during pregnancy, until reaching a maximum of 1500 mg/d, to avoid side effects of the drug.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether women who varied from recommended gestational weight gain guidelines by the Institute of Medicine (IOM, now known as the National Academy of Medicine) were at increased risk of severe maternal morbidity during delivery hospitalization compared with those whose weight gain remained within guidelines. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked 2008-2012 New York City discharge and birth certificate data sets. Cases of severe maternal morbidity were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification codes based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, which consists of 21 indicators of possible life-threatening diagnoses, life-saving procedures, or death. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between gestational weight gain categories based on prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and severe maternal morbidity adjusting for maternal demographics and socioeconomic status. The analysis was stratified by prepregnancy BMI categories. RESULTS During 2008-2012, there were 515,148 term singleton live births in New York City with prepregnancy weight and gestational weight gain information. In 24.8%, 35.1%, 32.1%, and 8.0% of these births, women gained below, within, 1-19 lbs above, and 20 lbs or more above the IOM guidelines, respectively. After adjusting for maternal demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, women who had gestational weight gain 1-19 lbs above (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.08, 95% CI 1.02-1.13) or 20 lbs or more above the IOM recommendations (AOR 1.21, 95% CI 1.12-1.31) had higher odds of overall severe maternal morbidity compared with women who gained within guidelines. Although the increased odds ratios (ORs) were statistically significant, this only resulted in an absolute rate increase of 2.1 and 6 cases of severe maternal morbidity per 1,000 deliveries for those who gained 1-19 and 20 lbs or more above recommendations, respectively. Women with gestational weight gain 20 lbs or more above recommendations had significantly higher ORs of eclampsia, heart failure during a procedure, pulmonary edema or acute heart failure, transfusion, and ventilation. CONCLUSION Women whose gestational weight gain is in excess of IOM guidelines are at increased risk of severe maternal morbidity, although their absolute risks remain low.

Potentially modifiable predictors of adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes in pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus: can they help for future risk stratification and risk-adapted patient care?

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) exposes mothers and their offspring to short and long-term complications. The objective of this study was to identify the importance of potentially modifiable predictors of adverse outcomes in pregnancies with GDM. We also aimed to assess the relationship between maternal predictors and pregnancy outcomes depending on HbA1c values and to provide a risk stratification for adverse pregnancy outcomes according to the prepregnancy BMI (Body mass index) and HbA1c at the 1st booking. METHODS This prospective study included 576 patients with GDM. Predictors were prepregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain (GWG), excessive weight gain, fasting, 1 and 2-h glucose values after the 75 g oral glucose challenge test (oGTT), HbA1c at the 1st GDM booking and at the end of pregnancy and maternal treatment requirement. Maternal and neonatal outcomes such as cesarean section, macrosomia, large and small for gestational age (LGA, SGA), neonatal hypoglycemia, prematurity, hospitalization in the neonatal unit and Apgar score at 5 min < 7 were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses and probability analyses were performed. RESULTS One-hour glucose after oGTT and prepregnancy BMI were correlated with cesarean section. GWG and HbA1c at the end pregnancy were associated with macrosomia and LGA, while prepregnancy BMI was inversely associated with SGA. The requirement for maternal treatment was correlated with neonatal hypoglycemia, and HbA1c at the end of pregnancy with prematurity (all p < 0.05). The correlations between predictors and pregnancy complications were exclusively observed when HbA1c was ≥5.5% (37 mmol/mol). In women with prepregnancy BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 and HbA1c ≥ 5.5% (37 mmol/mol) at the 1st booking, the risk for cesarean section and LGA was nearly doubled compared to women with BMI with < 25 kg/m2 and HbA1c < 5.5% (37 mmol/mol). CONCLUSIONS Prepregnancy BMI, GWG, maternal treatment requirement and HbA1c at the end of pregnancy can predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with GDM, particularly when HbA1c is ≥5.5% (37 mmol/mol). Stratification based on prepregnancy BMI and HbA1c at the 1st booking may allow for future risk-adapted care in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Suboptimal weight gain during pregnancy is a potentially modifiable risk factor. We aimed to investigate the association between suboptimal gestational weight gain and severe adverse birth outcomes by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) categories, including obesity class I to III. METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted a population-based study of pregnant women with singleton hospital births in Washington State, US, between 2004 and 2013. Optimal, low, and excess weight gain in each BMI category was calculated based on weight gain by gestational age as recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the Institute of Medicine. Primary composite outcomes were (1) maternal death and/or severe maternal morbidity (SMM) and (2) perinatal death and/or severe neonatal morbidity. Logistic regression was used to obtain adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals. Overall, 722,839 women with information on pre-pregnancy BMI were included. Of these, 3.1% of women were underweight, 48.1% had normal pre-pregnancy BMI, 25.8% were overweight, and 23.0% were obese. Only 31.5% of women achieved optimal gestational weight gain. Women who had low weight gain were more likely to be African American and have Medicaid health insurance, while women with excess weight gain were more likely to be non-Hispanic white and younger than women with optimal weight gain in each pre-pregnancy BMI category. Compared with women who had optimal weight gain, those with low gestational weight gain had a higher rate of maternal death, 7.97 versus 2.63 per 100,000 (p = 0.027). In addition, low weight gain was associated with the composite adverse maternal outcome (death/SMM) in women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI and in overweight women (AOR 1.12, 95% CI 1.04-1.21, p = 0.004, and AOR 1.17, 95% CI 1.04-1.32, p = 0.009, respectively) compared to women in the same pre-pregnancy BMI category who had optimal weight gain. Similarly, excess gestational weight gain was associated with increased rates of death/SMM among women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI (AOR 1.20, 95% CI 1.12-1.28, p < 0.001) and obese women (AOR 1.12, 95% CI 1.01-1.23, p = 0.019). Low gestational weight gain was associated with perinatal death and severe neonatal morbidity regardless of pre-pregnancy BMI, including obesity classes I, II, and III, while excess weight gain was associated with severe neonatal morbidity only in women who were underweight or had normal BMI prior to pregnancy. Study limitations include the ascertainment of pre-pregnancy BMI using self-report, and lack of data availability for the most recent years. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we found that most women do not achieve optimal weight gain during pregnancy. Low weight gain was associated with increased risk of severe adverse birth outcomes, and in particular with maternal death and perinatal death. Excess gestational weight gain was associated with severe adverse birth outcomes, except for women who were overweight prior to pregnancy. Weight gain recommendations for this group may need to be reassessed. It is important to counsel women during pregnancy about specific risks associated with both low and excess weight gain.

Abstract
Background Despite a large number of publications regarding the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and gestational weight gain (GWG), the literature is inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review of current evidence relating to the association between SES and GWG, according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2009 guidelines. Methods Six electronic databases were searched, with the final search run on first July 2016. The PRISMA Statement guidelines were followed and a modified version of the RTI Item Bank was used to assess risk of bias within studies. The primary outcome was inadequate, adequate or excessive GWG, as per the IOM guidelines. Results Sixteen studies were included. There was a positive skew in the number of studies that indicated that those who are less well educated are most at risk of gaining weight outside of the recommendations. Other measures of SES were not significantly associated with GWG. Conclusions Low educational attainment is likely to be associated with women gaining outside the IOM recommendations for GWG. Healthcare providers should provide additional support to pregnant women who are most at risk of gaining outside the recommendations, thus reducing the gap in health inequalities between those of high and low SES.

Abstract
Background Identifying the risk factors for preeclampsia (PE) is essential for the implementation of preventive actions. In the present study, we aimed at exploring the association between total gestational weight gain (GWG) and PE. Methods We performed a population-based cohort survey of 98,820 women with singleton pregnancies who delivered in Slovenia from 2013 to 2017. Aggregated data were obtained from the National Perinatal Information System (NPIS). The main outcome measure was the incidence of PE. The main exposure variable was total GWG standardized for the gestational duration by calculating the z-scores. The associations between total GWG and PE stratified by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) categories adjusted for a variety of covariates were determined using multivariable logistic regression. We calculated the crude odds ratio (OR) and adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with a 95% confidence interval using a two-way test. Results Excessive GWG was associated with increased odds of PE in all pre-pregnancy BMI categories. The increase in the odds of PE by 445% was the highest in underweight women and by 122% was the lowest in obese women. Low GWG was associated with decreased odds of PE in all pre-pregnancy BMI categories except in normal-weight women with a GWG below -2 standard deviation (SD) and underweight women. The decrease in the odds of PE by 67% was the highest in obese women and by 41% was the lowest in normal-weight women. Conclusion Excessive GWG is a significant risk factor for PE, especially in underweight women, while low GWG is an important protective factor against PE, especially in obese women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify if maternal educational attainment is a prognostic factor for gestational weight gain (GWG), and to determine the differential effects of lifestyle interventions (diet based, physical activity based or mixed approach) on GWG, stratified by educational attainment. DESIGN Individual participant data meta-analysis using the previously established International Weight Management in Pregnancy (i-WIP) Collaborative Group database (https://iwipgroup.wixsite.com/collaboration). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis of Individual Participant Data Statement guidelines were followed. DATA SOURCES Major electronic databases, from inception to February 2017. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials on diet and physical activity-based interventions in pregnancy. Maternal educational attainment was required for inclusion and was categorised as higher education (≥tertiary) or lower education (≤secondary). RISK OF BIAS Cochrane risk of bias tool was used. DATA SYNTHESIS Principle measures of effect were OR and regression coefficient. RESULTS Of the 36 randomised controlled trials in the i-WIP database, 21 trials and 5183 pregnant women were included. Women with lower educational attainment had an increased risk of excessive (OR 1.182; 95% CI 1.008 to 1.385, p =0.039) and inadequate weight gain (OR 1.284; 95% CI 1.045 to 1.577, p =0.017). Among women with lower education, diet basedinterventions reduced risk of excessive weight gain (OR 0.515; 95% CI 0.339 to 0.785, p = 0.002) and inadequate weight gain (OR 0.504; 95% CI 0.288 to 0.884, p=0.017), and reduced kg/week gain (B -0.055; 95% CI -0.098 to -0.012, p=0.012). Mixed interventions reduced risk of excessive weight gain for women with lower education (OR 0.735; 95% CI 0.561 to 0.963, p=0.026). Among women with high education, diet based interventions reduced risk of excessive weight gain (OR 0.609; 95% CI 0.437 to 0.849, p=0.003), and mixed interventions reduced kg/week gain (B -0.053; 95% CI -0.069 to -0.037,p<0.001). Physical activity based interventions did not impact GWG when stratified by education. CONCLUSIONS Pregnant women with lower education are at an increased risk of excessive and inadequate GWG. Diet based interventions seem the most appropriate choice for these women, and additional support through mixed interventions may also be beneficial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between pre-gestational body mass index (BMI), total gestational weight gain (GWG), and/or trimester-specific weight gain (GWGT) with adverse maternal or perinatal outcomes (AMPOs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Maternal clinical characteristics and pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were used to predict AMPOs. The predictive ability of BMI, GWG, or GWGT for AMPOs was analyzed using the area under the curve (AUC). Logistic regression models in a univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to estimate the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to predict maternal outcomes (pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia or gestational diabetes mellitus) and perinatal outcomes (small for gestational age, large for gestational age, 5-min Apgar score, admission to neonatal intensive care unit or umbilical cord pH <7.15). RESULTS Women with AMPOs (n = 293) were younger with higher rate of nulliparity (p < .001) and with lower height (p = .018) as compared to controls (n = 134). In the univariate study, GWGT in third trimester was associated with double risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension (OR 2.00; 95% CI, 1.01-3.97). Nonetheless, third-trimester GWG and total GWG have a negative relationship with gestational diabetes mellitus OR 0.32 (95% CI, 0.18-0.58) and OR 0.35 (95% CI, 0.21-0.59), respectively. Women with greater overall and in second trimester, GWG have a lower risk of having SGA neonates, OR 0.62 (95% CI, 0.39-0.98) and OR 0.60 (95% CI, 0.37-0.98), respectively. In the multivariate study, pre-gestational BMI is strongly related to the development of preeclampsia and the area under the curve (AUC) of the combination of pre-gestational BMI and total weight gain was 0.832 (95% CI, 0.63-0.81) for preeclampsia and 0.719 (95% CI, 0.71-0.94) for gestational diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION Our results suggest than timing of gestational weight gain influence in maternal and perinatal outcomes. Pre-gestational BMI is a determinant of preeclampsia, maternal weight gain in the third trimester is a determinant of pregnancy-induced hypertension and the increase in total GWG reduces the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus and small for gestational age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal asthma is associated with perinatal complications and respiratory illness in offspring. Obesity increases asthma exacerbation risk in pregnancy and risk of wheeze in offspring. OBJECTIVES In this secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial, we investigated the influence of maternal body mass index, gestational weight gain (GWG), and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO)-based management on asthma exacerbations in pregnancy and offspring wheeze. METHODS A total of 220 women were randomized to asthma treatment adjustment according to symptoms (control group), or FENO and symptoms (FENO group). Exacerbations were recorded prospectively. Height and weight were measured at baseline, and in late pregnancy. GWG was categorized according to Institute of Medicine guidelines. A validated parent-completed questionnaire assessed infant wheeze-related outcomes. RESULTS FENO-based management was associated with a significantly lower incidence rate ratio for maternal exacerbations in nonobese mothers (0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.31-0.88, P = .015, n = 129), and women with GWG within recommendations (0.35, 95% CI, 0.12-0.96, P = .042, n = 43), but not for obese mothers (0.59, 95% CI, 0.32-1.08, P = .089, n = 88), or women with excess GWG (0.58, 95% CI, 0.32-1.04, P = .07, n = 104). Recurrent bronchiolitis occurred in 5.3% (n = 1) of infants born to non-overweight mothers, 16.7% (n = 3) of infants of overweight mothers, and 21.7% (n = 5) of infants of obese mothers in the control group. In the FENO group, 2 infants of obese mothers had recurrent bronchiolitis (7.1%, P = .031). CONCLUSIONS The benefits of FENO-based management are attenuated among obese mothers and those with excess GWG, indicating the importance of weight management in contributing to improved asthma management in pregnancy.

Impact of the 2017 ACC/AHA Guideline for High Blood Pressure on Evaluating Gestational Hypertension–Associated Risks for Newborns and Mothers. Circ Res 2019; 125:184-194.

Abstract
Rationale:
In 2017, the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) released a new hypertension guideline for nonpregnant adults, using lower blood pressure values to identify hypertension. However, the impact of this new guideline on the diagnosis of gestational hypertension and the associated maternal and neonatal risks are unknown.
Objective:
To estimate the impact of adopting the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline on detecting gestational blood pressure elevations and the relationship with maternal and neonatal risk in the perinatal period using a retrospective cohort design.
Methods and Results:
This study included 16 345 women from China. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of each woman were measured at up to 22 prenatal care visits across different stages of pregnancy. Logistic and linear regressions were used to estimate associations of blood pressure categories with the risk of preterm delivery, early-term delivery, and small for gestational age, and indicators of maternal liver, renal, and coagulation functions during pregnancy. We identified 4100 (25.1%) women with gestational hypertension using the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline, compared with 4.2% using the former definition. Gestational hypertension, but not elevated blood pressure (subclinical blood pressure elevation), was significantly associated with altered indicators of liver, renal, and coagulation functions during pregnancy for mothers and increased risk of adverse birth outcomes for newborns; adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) for gestational hypertension stage 2 were 2.23 (1.18–4.24) for preterm delivery, 2.05 (1.67–2.53) for early-term delivery, and 1.43 (1.13–1.81) for small for gestational age.
Conclusions:
Adopting the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline would result in a substantial increase in the prevalence of gestational hypertension; subclinical blood pressure elevations during late pregnancy were not associated with increased maternal and neonatal risk in this cohort. Therefore, the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline may improve the detection of high blood pressure during pregnancy and the efforts to reduce maternal and neonatal risk. Replications in other populations are required.

[PMID: 31338340 PMCID: PMC6629988 DOI: 10.5468/ogs.2019.62.4.233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2018] [Revised: 12/31/2018] [Accepted: 01/22/2019] [Indexed: 01/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to determine the association between preeclampsia and the postpartum development of metabolic syndrome based on the pre-pregnancy status. Methods Korean women who delivered their first child between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2012, were enrolled. All subjects underwent a national health screening examination conducted by the National Health Insurance Corporation 1 or 2 years prior to their first delivery and within 2 years after their first delivery. Results Among the 49,065 participants, preeclampsia developed in 3,391 participants (6.9%). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was higher postpartum in women with preeclampsia than in those without preeclampsia (4.9% vs. 2.7%, respectively, P<0.001). Through the pre-pregnancy to postpartum period, women with preeclampsia had a greater increase in gestational weight retention, body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and triglyceride levels and a greater decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels than women without preeclampsia. Preeclampsia was associated with an increased risk of the postpartum development of metabolic syndrome in women without pre-pregnancy metabolic syndrome (odds ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.05–1.56). However, preeclampsia was not associated with postpartum metabolic syndrome in women with pre-pregnancy metabolic syndrome or 2 components of metabolic syndrome. Conclusion In this study, preeclampsia was associated with the postpartum development of metabolic syndrome in women without pre-pregnancy metabolic syndrome. However, the effects were attenuated by predisposing risk factors in the pre-pregnancy period.

Effects of maternal obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and fetal macrosomia on the frequency of cesarean deliveries among migrant and non-migrant women - a prospective study. J Perinat Med 2019; 47:402-408. [PMID: 30817307 DOI: 10.1515/jpm-2018-0399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2018] [Accepted: 01/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
Background Maternal obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and fetal macrosomia may affect the health of the mother and the newborn, and are associated with cesarean delivery. Pregnant women with a migration background have a higher risk of obesity but nevertheless a lower frequency of cesarean deliveries than women from the majority population. This study assesses which of these factors most influence the risk of a cesarean delivery and whether their prevalence can explain the lower cesarean rates in migrant women. Methods A total of 2256 migrant women and 2241 non-immigrant women subsequently delivering in three hospitals of Berlin/Germany participated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the effects of obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and macrosomia on cesarean delivery. Standardized coefficients (STB) were used to rank the predictors. Results Obesity was more frequent in immigrant than among non-immigrant women. The mean gestational weight gain was independent of migration status. The frequency of macrosomia increased with maternal weight. Obesity and excessive gestational weight gain were the most important predictors of cesarean besides older age; fetal macrosomia played a much smaller role. Despite similar distributions of the three risk factors, the frequency of cesarean deliveries was lower in migrant than in non-immigrant women. Conclusion The presence of obesity and/or excessive gestational weight gain is associated with an increased risk of a cesarean delivery; fetal macrosomia does not increase the risk when obesity and weight gain are considered. The distribution of these risk factors is similar in migrant and non-immigrant women, so they cannot explain the lower frequency of cesarean deliveries in migrant women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the change in body mass index (BMI) categories between pregnancies and its effect on adverse pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN We performed a retrospective cohort study of women with two consecutive deliveries from 2005 to 2010. Analysis was limited to women with BMI recorded at <24 weeks for both pregnancies. Standard BMI categories were used. Adverse pregnancy outcomes included preterm birth at <37 weeks, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), pregnancy-related hypertension, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Women with increased BMI category between pregnancies were compared with those who remained in the same BMI category. RESULTS In total, 537 women were included, of whom 125 (23%) increased BMI category. There was no association between increase in BMI category and risk of preterm birth, IUGR, or pregnancy-related hypertension. Women who increased BMI category had an increased odds of GDM compared with women who remained in the same BMI category (6.4 vs. 2.2%; p = 0.018). The increased risk remained after controlling for age, history of GDM, and starting BMI (adjusted odds ratio: 8.2; 95% confidence interval: 2.1-32.7; p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Almost one-quarter of women increased BMI categories between pregnancies. This modifiable risk factor has a significant impact on the risk of GDM.

The pattern of gestational weight gains among Chinese women: a repeated measure analysis. Sci Rep 2018; 8:15865. [PMID: 30367114 PMCID: PMC6203785 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-34227-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2018] [Accepted: 10/12/2018] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the pattern of gestational weight gain (GWG) among Chinese women. We included pregnant women, who delivered at a referral medical center in China and had no pre-specified adverse pregnancy outcomes. We collected weight data across all pregnancy visits, and used the two-level spline linear model to fit for the pattern of GWG according to pre-pregnancy BMI categories. In total, 4,567 pregnant women with 47,699 repeated measures were eligible. For those who were underweight, normal and overweight before pregnancy, the interquartile ranges (25th to 75th quartiles) of GWG between 14 and 36 gestational weeks were 12.9–17.7 kg, 12.6–17.3 kg and 11.7–16.8 kg, and the corresponding rates of GWG were 2.62 kg/month, 2.56 kg/month and 2.37 kg/month. For underweight and normal women, the rates of GWG were similar before 14 weeks (0.57 and 0.58 kg/month) and after 36 weeks (1.69 and 1.70 kg/month); however, the rates of GWG were higher for overweight women (0.66 kg/month before 14 weeks and 1.89 kg/month after 36 weeks). In summary, the pattern of GWG among Chinese pregnant women is generally consistent with the IOM recommendation, particularly for those who are normal or underweight. Modifications are, however, warranted for overweight pregnant women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between early-pregnancy weight gain and risk of preeclampsia to inform pregnancy weight gain recommendations. STUDY DESIGN We performed a case-cohort study using a hospital database including 80,812 singleton deliveries from Magee-Womens Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (1998-2011). In each of 6 prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) groups, we abstracted serial antenatal weight measurements from the records of up to 339 preeclampsia cases and 1254 randomly selected pregnancies. Early gestational weight gain (16-19 weeks' gestation) was standardized for gestational duration using BMI-specific z-score charts. Multivariable log-binomial regression was used to assess the association between weight gain z-score and risk of preeclampsia. We determined the impact of preeclampsia misclassification using probabilistic bias analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Risk of preeclampsia. RESULTS For normal weight women, there was a steady increase in preeclampsia risk with increasing early gestational weight gain z-score. For example, compared with a weight gain of 1.2 kg (z-score = -1 SD), a 7.2-kg weight gain (z-score = +1 SD) at 16 weeks was associated with 1.3 (0.50, 2.2) excess preeclampsia cases per 100 deliveries. Weight loss at 16-19 weeks among grade 2 or 3 obese women was associated with a reduced risk of preeclampsia. Associations were null among overweight and grade 1 obese women. The bias analysis supported the validity of the conventional analysis. CONCLUSIONS Early-pregnancy weight gain may be associated with preeclampsia in some BMI groups. Future revisions of pregnancy weight gain recommendations should account for preeclampsia risks from this and additional studies.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of diet and/or exercise in overweight or obese pregnant women on the risk of preeclampsia (PE). Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials examining the effect of diet and/or exercise interventions in overweight and obese pregnant women on the risk of PE and hypertensive disorders. We completed a literature search through PubMed, Embase, Cinahl, Web of science, Cochrane CENTRAL Library from their earliest entries to November 2017 and from references of other systematic reviews. No language restrictions were applied. Relative risks (RR) with random effect were calculated with their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: There were 23 eligible trials (7236 participants), including 11 (5023 participants) investigating the effect of diet and three (387 participants) investigating the effect of exercise on risk of PE, 14 (4345 participants) investigating the effect of diet, five (884 participants) investigating the effect of exercise and one (304 participants) investigating the effect of diet and exercise on risk of hypertensive disorders. Most studies were considered to be at low risk of bias for random sequence allocation and incomplete outcome data but at high risk of bias for blinding of participant and personnel. The heterogeneity of the studies on PE was low (I2 = 0-11%), but the heterogeneity of the studies on hypertensive disorders was variable (I2 = 0-53%). In women randomized to diet and/or exercise, compared to expectant management, there was no significant difference in the risk of PE (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.80-1.27; p = .96) or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (RR 0.87, 95% CI 0.70-1.06; p = .17). In the intervention group, compared to expectant management, gestational weight gain was significantly lower (-1.47 kg, 95% CI -1.97 to -0.97; p < .00001). Metaregression weighted by the size of the studies showed no significant association between gestational weight gain and the risk of PE or hypertensive disorders (p = .314 and p = .124, respectively). Conclusions: Diet and exercise in overweight or obese pregnant women are beneficial in reducing gestational weight gain. However, these interventions do not reduce the risk of PE or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2018; 18:312. [PMID: 30064390 PMCID: PMC6069538 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-018-1941-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2017] [Accepted: 07/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases the risk for negative effects on mother and child during pregnancy, delivery, and also postnatally. Excessive weight gain can be partially compensated by being sufficiently physically active, which can be measured using activity trackers. Modern activity trackers often use accelerometer data as well as heart rate data to estimate energy expenditure. Because pregnancy affects the metabolism and cardiac output, it is not evident that activity trackers that are calibrated to the general population can be reliably used during pregnancy. We evaluated whether an activity monitor designed for the general population is sufficiently accurate for estimating energy expenditure in pregnant women. Methods Forty pregnant women (age: 30.8 ± 4.7 years, BMI: 25.0 ± 4.0) from all three trimesters performed a 1-h protocol including paced and self-paced exercise activities as well as household activities. We tracked reference energy expenditure using indirect calorimetry and used equivalence testing to determine whether the estimated energy expenditure from the activity monitor was within the limits of equivalence. Results Overall we found an averaged underestimation of 10 kcal (estimated energy expenditure was 97% of the reference measurement). The 90% CI for the cumulative total energy expenditure was 94–100%. The activities of self-paced cycling, household activities, stair-walking, and yoga had one of their equivalence boundaries outside a 80–125% range of equivalence; for exercise on a cross-trainer, for self-paced and fixed-pace walking, fixed-paced cycling, and resting, the estimations were within the limits of equivalence. Conclusions We conclude that the activity monitor is sufficiently accurate for every-day use during pregnancy. The observed deviations can be accounted for and are acceptable from a statistical and an applied perspective because the positive and negative deviations that we observed cancel out to an accurate average energy expenditure over a day, and estimations during exercise are sufficiently accurate to enable coaching on physical activity. The positive and negative deviations themselves were relatively small. Therefore, the activity monitor can be used to help in preventing excessive weight gain during pregnancy by accurately tracking physical activity.
