Pre-Pregnancy Body Mass Index, Diabetes Status, and Gestational Age-Specific Stillbirth Risk: A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to quantify and compare the gestational age-specific risks of stillbirth associated with pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and diabetes status. Their findings indicate that stillbirth rates increase with higher BMI and are significantly higher in women with pre-pregnancy diabetes, with the optimal gestational age for delivery varying based on the presence of these risk factors.
