Maternal body mass index at time of birth and selected risk factors associated with severe neonatal outcomes: a secondary analysis of the WHO Better Outcomes in Labour Difficulty (BOLD) project.

In this study, BMI at the time of birth was not associated with neonatal near miss or death. We found that previous maternal obesity, diabetes, and chronic hypertension were associated with SNO. Maternal pathology in the index pregnancy such as other obstetric hemorrhage, preeclampsia, anemia, and gestational diabetes were associated with SNO.
