摘要：Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is known to be associated with a higher risk of small for gestational age infants (SGA) and maternal anemia. 71 patients with a history of bariatric surgery, who had at least one pregnancy ended with a delivery of a single live-born neonate after the bariatric surgery were included in the study. The main endpoints were gestational weight gain (GWG), GWG as % of the maternal weight at the beginning of pregnancy (GWG%), maternal anemia, SGA and large for gestational age infants (LGA), neonatal intensive care unit admission (NICU). GWG% was 23.8% ± 14.1 in the LGA group vs 13.9% ± 11.0 in the normal weight neonates group; p < 0.03. Patients diagnosed with anemia before pregnancy had higher GWG% than patients without pre-pregnancy anemia (20.1% ± 11.1 vs 13.4% ± 11.6); p < 0.05. GWG% was higher in patients, whose infants were admitted to NICU (25.3% ± 17.6 vs 14.1% ± 11.0; p < 0.04). GWG% can be considered a risk predictor of the LGA and NICU admissions in bariatric patients. Anemia diagnosed before pregnancy is associated with higher GWG%.
