Trends in postpartum hemorrhage in high resource countries: a review and recommendations from the International Postpartum Hemorrhage Collaborative Group (2009, background): “Rising rates of obesity, demonstrated in many countries [43-47], may also impact on the incidence of PPH; raised Body Mass Index (BMI) is a reported risk factor for hemorrhage [48,49].”
Maternal Morbid Obesity and the Risk of Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (2004, result): “In a large study from London, no increased risk of instrumental delivery was seen among women with a BMI greater than 30.(3) That is in contrast with our findings because we found a slightly increased risk specifically for the massively obese women.”
Effect of Body Mass Index on pregnancy outcomes in nulliparous women delivering singleton babies (2007, methodology): “Most studies have used a retrospective cohort design using data from routinely collected hospital databases [12,21] or trial data (Weiss – FASTER trial) [24].”
Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index in Relation to Infant Birth Weight and Offspring Overweight/Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2013, methodology): “The first was according to the recommendation of Abrams and Parker [30]: underweight (BMI,20 kg m22), normal weight (20– 24.9 kg m22), overweight (25–29.9 kg m22), and obese ($30 kg m22).”
