Abstract

Objectives: To compare preoperatively, intraoperatively and postoperatively the maternal and ne-onatal outcomes of normal-weight, obese and morbid obese pregnant women who delivered by cesarean section in our clinic. Methods: This study retrospectively included 151 singleton pregnancies delivered at ≥37 weeks of gestation by cesarean section. Demographic, clinical and neonatal results of the patients were not-ed and compared between the groups. Results: Among the pregnant women included in this study, length of postoperative hospital stay and presence of chronic diseases were determined to be significantly higher in the morbid obese group compared with other groups (p<0.05). In the morbid obese group, the average infant birth weight and the number of infants monitored due to respiratory distress as a neonatal complication were determined to be significantly higher (p<0.05). The presence of pregnancy complications, particularly the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia were found to be signif-icantly higher in the morbid obese group (p<0.05). Conclusions: We determined that the incidence of maternal and neonatal complications increases as the body mass index (BMI) increases. Therefore, it is evident that monitoring the BMI and pre-venting obesity would be effective in avoiding complications.
