Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to describe the relationship between obesity and pregnancy outcomes in severe preeclampsia.
Methods: This descriptive study used case control design to explain association preeclampsia to obesity. The population of this study is all pregnant women with preeclampsia and eclampsia hospitalized at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar during 2017-2019.
Results: Based on bivariate analyses found that obesity is associated with maternal outcome (p:0.006) and perinatal outcome (p:0.015). Nonobesity is more likely to have 6.5 times good maternal outcome (OR:6.504) and 1.9 times good perinatal outcome (OR:1.952) compared to obesity. Severe preeclampsia without complication was associated with good maternal outcomes (p: 0.001) and 15.3 times better in good maternal outcomes (OR: 15.348).
Conclusion: Obesity during pregnancy results in increased maternal and fetal mortality. Severe preeclampsia without complication is associated with good maternal outcomes, but unfavorable perinatal outcomes, whereas its complication increases the risk of maternal mortality.
