XXXX : significance on the preterm neonate.

@entity1 @entity6 @entity28
BACKGROUND: What is known of neonatal outcomes associated with maternal @entity28 is limited. The impact on the preterm neonate, delivery room (DR) course and need for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission has not been well established. METHODS: A review was done of our 17 county perinatal regions from the New York State Perinatal Data System database over the 3-year period of 1 January 2010-31 December 2012 for mother/baby dyad information for all live births 34-36 6/7 weeks' gestation. The National Institutes of Health body mass index (BMI) classification was used for maternal BMI with the category definitions of underweight, normal, overweight, @entity28 Level I, @entity28 Level II, and @entity28 Level III. RESULTS: Information was obtained on 2155 @entity1 . In this group, 29% had @entity28 BMIs. The incidence of @entity6 ( @entity6 ), @entity6 during gestation and cesarean delivery (CD) in @entity28 mothers was significantly different from normal weight mothers, P<0.001. More @entity1 of Level III mothers required DR resuscitation when compared with @entity1 of normal BMI mothers, 36 vs 16%, P <0.001. The need for assisted ventilation beyond 6   h of age and need for NICU admission was more likely in @entity1 of Level III mothers, P<0.001. @entity1 in all of the @entity28 subgroups had preterm @entity1 with increased birth weights (BWs) compared with preterm @entity1 of normal weight mothers, P<0.001. DISCUSSION: Late preterm @entity1 @entity28 mothers are more likely to be delivered by cesarean section and have larger BWs. We found that @entity1 @entity28 Level III mothers are much more likely to require assisted ventilation in the DR and NICU admission.International Journal of Obesity advance online publication, 30 June 2015; doi:10.1038/ijo.2015.107.
