A retrospective comparative study of antenatal healthy lifestyle service interventions for women with a raised body mass index

CONCLUSION: Internal audit had suggested the antenatal healthy lifestyle service was successful at managing gestational weight gain in women with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m². However, no benefit on gestational weight gain was evident once the service was evaluated against a comparison cohort with adequate adjustment for confounders. It is essential that future services are evaluated against a relevant comparison group.PMID:37679254 | DOI:10.1016/j.wombi.2023.08.010
