High Gestational Weight Gain and the Risk of Preterm Birth and Low Birth Weight: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Many women have high gestational weight gain (GWG), but potential neonatal consequences are not yet well quantified. We sought to determine the relationship between high GWG and preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW) in singleton births.
DATA SOURCES: We searched Medline and Embase and reference lists.
