[The importance of the risk factor "obesity" during delivery, postpartal and for the newborn (author's transl)]. 1976

E Kubista, and H Kucera, and H Salzer

The course of delivery and labor, the post partum period and the postpartal condition of the newborn were reviewed in 315 obese patients with a bodyweight of 90 kg or more at delivery. The results were compared with those of a group of 315 patients with a body-weight of less than 90 kg, choosed by random and evaluated by statistic (t-test, x2-test). In the group of obese gravidae we found a significant higher rate of cases with induction of labor, protracted deliveries, breech presentation and operative deliveries. Also the rate of manual removal of the placenta, post partum uterine infections and disorders in the milk secretion was significant higher in this group. Post partum abnormal glucose tolerance tests ocurred abnormal more frequently in the obese patients. The weight of the infants of obese mothers was higher as in the control group. Significant higher were the perinatal mortality and the cases of fetal death in utero in the obese group compared to the non obese group.
