To find the relationship between level of obesity and adverse maternal outcomes in pregnant women Methods: An observational analytic study with a cross sectional design with secondary data from medical record. Subjects were pregnant women who gave birth at RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in January 2015-December 2017. Samples were taken by purposive sampling technique. BMIs were divided into 5 categories based on WHO criteria, normoweight, overweight, obese level I, II, and III. Underweight was excluded from the study. Results: Of 252 research subjects, 94 (37.3%) were subjects with normal BMI, 102 (40.5%) were overweight, 44 (17.5%) were obese level I, 6 (2.4%) were level II, and 6 (2.4%) were level III. The maternal outcome consisted of 135 cases (53.6%) of preeclampsia, 6 cases of gestational diabetes mellitus (2.4%), 41 cases of uterine inertia (16.3%), 56 cases of preterm labor (22.2%), assisted delivery 111 cases (44%), and healthcare associated infections (HAIs) 6 cases (2.4%). Further analysis showed that increased level of maternal obesity is related significantly with preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, uterine inertia, and assisted delivery. Conclusion: There are statistically significant association between obesity level and the incidence of preeclamsia, gestational diabetes, uterine inertia and assisted delivery.
