m 2 BMI, and aOR, 55 (95% CI, 41-75) with BMI 30 kg/m 2 . The probability of GH recurrence increased as BMI increased. For women with first-pregnancy hypertensive disorders, the likelihood of second-pregnancy GH increased from 12 to 26% with 15 to 50 kg/m 2 BMI. Adjusted OR for GH was 42 (95% CI, 26-66) for women with 25 kg/m 2 BMI, and in obese women (BMI 30 kg/m 2 ) the second-pregnancy GH aOR (95% CI) was 56 (33-95). Increased adiposity was associated with higher likelihood of second-pregnancy PE; aOR 1.4 (95% CI, 0.9-2.1) among women with normal BMI, aOR 1.9 (95% CI, 1.2-3.1) among obese women.This study found an increased risk of complications during the second pregnancy as maternal pre-pregnancy weight and BMI increased, especially in conjunction with first-pregnancy complications (ie, GDM and GH). Even modest adjustments in BMI could potentially improve maternal and neonatal outcomes. As the study data uses self-reported data and the data pool of women with pregestational diabetes and chronic hypertension was limited, further research should be conducted to confirm results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
