“…Regarding parity, most of the studies did not prove a correlation between type of delivery and BW. 6 Similarly, we did not find any association between BW and parity. Nevertheless, GesAge has a positive effect on MGW, while multiparity and smoking showed a negative effect on BW.…”

“…Czarnobay et al 6 proved that BW is higher in the case of cesarean section versus vaginal delivery. Contrary to the findings of these authors, in our study, we did not find associations between BW and type of delivery.…”

“…A review from 2018 concluded that an excessive BW is triggered by excessive, pre-pregnancy BMI (≥25 kg/m 2 ) and gestational diabetes. 6 Moreover, Silva et al 7 underlined that the predictors for BW were pre-gestational BMI and postprandial glucose blood levels in mothers during the third trimester of pregnancy. Thus, Farah et al 8 showed that GWG influences BW with a value of 8.4% outcome variance, underlining that BW was correlated with smoking, parity, and GesAge.…”

“…The studies from the literature underline the fact that birth weight (BW) is influenced by gestational weight gain (GWG), pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational diabetes, and postprandial blood glucose level, and also by the type of delivery, educational degree, smoking status, and so on. 6–9…”

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the direct effects of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP9 rs17577, MMP9 rs17576) and alfa 2 adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A rs553668) gene polymorphisms investigated in mothers and their newborns on maternal weight gain (MWG) during pregnancy and the newborn’s birth weight (BW), taking into account the presence of other related factors.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional study in 197 mother–newborn pairs in an Obstetrics Gynecology Clinic, in order to evaluate the demographic and anthropometric parameters, and gene polymorphism.ResultsBW was positively correlated with maternal age (p = 0.021) and the educational level (p = 0.002), and negatively correlated with smoking status in pregnant women (p < 0.001). The MMP9 rs17577 variant genotypes in mothers led to a lower BW (p = 0.049). The mothers with a variant genotype of ADRA2A rs553668 gene polymorphism had newborns with a higher BW (p = 0.030). MWG and gestational age (GesAge) influenced BW (p < 0.05). We noticed that newborns’ variant genotype of MMP9 rs17577 was related to a significant increase in BW (p = 0.010), while the newborns who carried the variant genotype of MMP9 rs17576 expressed a negative correlation, decreasing the BW (p = 0.032).ConclusionOur study emphasizes the role of MMP9 rs17577, MMP9 rs17576, and ADRA2A rs553668 SNPs in BW determinism.

“…11 Detecting fetal growth abnormalities is very important for therapeutic decisions, both to correct predisposing factors and to predict the type and moment of delivery. 12 Nevertheless, the occurrence of LGA is also associated with obstetric and neonatal adverse outcomes, such as increased cesarean delivery rates, neonatal hypoglycemia, jaundice, 5-minute Apgar score < 7, higher stillbirth rate, and respiratory distress. 13,14 Some studies have also pointed out that the consequences of being born LGA may go beyond the neonatal period, increasing the risk of precocious puberty, childhood obesity, and metabolic syndrome in childhood and adulthood.…”

Objective To analyze the agreement, in relation to the 90th percentile, of ultrasound measurements of abdominal circumference (AC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW), between the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Fetal and Newborn Growth Consortium for the 21st Century (intergrowth-21st) tables, as well as regarding birth weight in fetuses/newborns of diabetic mothers. Methods Retrospective study with data from medical records of 171 diabetic pregnant women, single pregnancies, followed between January 2017 and June 2018. Abdominal circumference and EFW data at admission (from 22 weeks) and predelivery (up to 3 weeks) were analyzed. These measures were classified in relation to the 90th percentile. The Kappa coefficient was used to analyze the agreement of these ultrasound variables between the WHO and intergrowth-21st tables, as well as, by reference table, these measurements and birth weight. Results The WHO study reported 21.6% large-for-gestational-age (LGA) newborns while the intergrowth-21st reported 32.2%. Both tables had strong concordances in the assessment of initial AC, final AC, and initial EFW (Kappa = 0.66, 0.72 and 0.63, respectively) and almost perfect concordance in relation to final EFW (Kappa = 0.91). Regarding birth weight, the best concordances were found for initial AC (WHO: Kappa = 0.35; intergrowth-21st: Kappa = 0.42) and with the final EFW (WHO: Kappa = 0.33; intergrowth- 21st: Kappa = 0.35). Conclusion The initial AC and final EFW were the parameters of best agreement regarding birth weight classification. The WHO and intergrowth-21st tables showed high agreement in the classification of ultrasound measurements in relation to the 90th percentile. Studies are needed to confirm whether any of these tables are superior in predicting short- and long-term negative outcomes in the LGA group.

Background Evidence points to diverse risk factors associated with small- (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) births. A more comprehensive understanding of these factors is imperative, especially in vulnerable populations. Objectives To estimate the occurrence of and sociodemographic factors associated with SGA and LGA births in poor and extremely poor populations of Brazil. Methods The study population consisted of women of reproductive age (14–49 y), whose last child was born between 2012 and 2015. INTERGROWTH 21st consortium criteria were used to classify weight for gestational age according to sex. Multinomial logistic regression modeling was performed to investigate associations of interest. Results Of 5,521,517 live births analyzed, SGA and LGA corresponded to 7.8% and 17.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed greater odds of SGA in children born to women who self-reported as black (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.22), mixed-race (parda) (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.09), or indigenous (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.06, 1.15), were unmarried (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.08), illiterate (OR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.42, 1.52), did not receive prenatal care (OR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.53, 1.60), or were aged 14–20 y (OR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.20, 1.22) or 35–49 y (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.13). Considering LGA children, higher odds were found in infants born to women living in households with ≥3 inadequate housing conditions (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.12), in indigenous women (OR: 1.22; 95% CI: 1.19, 1.25), those who had 1–3 y of schooling (OR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.17, 1.19), 1–3 prenatal visits (OR: 1.16; CI 95%: 1.14, 1.17), or were older (OR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.25, 1.27). Conclusions In poorer Brazilian populations, socioeconomic, racial, and maternal characteristics are consistently associated with the occurrence of SGA births, but remain less clearly linked to the occurrence of LGA births.
