Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To review some related factors and outcomes of pregnant women who give birth to babies over 4000g at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in 2023.
Materials and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 87 women who gave birth to babies over 4000g at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in 2023.
Results: Macrosomia is common in pregnant women aged 25-35 years old (accounting for 77.1%). The group of pregnant women giving birth to macrosomia with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 accounted for 90.81%. 25 cases had concomitant diseases, of which 14 cases had gestational diabetes (56%). In 87 studied cases, the rate of multiparous women accounted for 62.1%, maternal birth weight over 4000g accounted for 25.3%, the common gestational age group of 39-40 weeks accounted for 79.2%, the rate of male and female fetuses were 72.4% and 27.6%, respectively. The rate of cesarean section was 86.2%. There were no cases of postpartum hemorrhage. The rate of perineal injury was 8/12 pregnant women giving birth vaginally. The main neonatal complication was postpartum respiratory failure (4.6%).
Conclusion: Macrosomia is related to several factors: nutrition, history of macrosomia, gestional diabetes, and fetal sex. Most cases are indicated for cesarean section. However, there is no difference in the rate of postpartum complications between cesarean and vaginal deliveries.
