Abstract
Introduction: Obesity and overweight are significant risk factors for prenatal morbidity and death, and more females in reproductive age must have obesity surgery. The present study investigated the outcomes of pregnancies and births after bariatric surgeries.
Materials and Materials and Methods: All patients who gavexbirth from 2018 to 2023 in our clinic were included in this present study. The participants who had Bariatric Surgery (BS) previously were determined from the hospital database and their medicalxbirth records were obtained for data on pregnancy, birth, and perinatalxresults. The results of females who had bariatric surgeries previously were analyzed by comparing them with other pregnancies.
Results: A total of 298 females who had bariatricxsurgeries previously and 4374 women who had not undergone surgeries were included in the study. The group that underwent BS had a greater ratio of abortion (p:0.009) and IVF history (<.001). Pregnancy-inducedxhypertension (p<.001), preeclampsia (p:0.04), Gestational Diabetes (GDM) (p<i.001), premature birth (p<i.001), cesareanxdelivery (p<i.001) and small gestational age (p<i.001) rates were significantly higher in the bariatricxgroup.
Conclusion: Given the potential hazards for obese women who are of reproductive age, BS may be seen a prudent course of therapy. AfterxBS, there is a correlation between weight and pregnancy outcomes. Previous research revealed similar findings between groups in terms of pregnancy prognosis and pregnancy complications in obese and extremely obese patient groups.
