Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine whether body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) are associated with severe maternal morbidity (SMM) in twin gestations.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort of all twin pregnancies delivered at seven hospitals in New York from 2019 to 2023. Multivariable logistic regression modeled the probability of SMM as a function of BMI group, adjusting for excessive GWG, race-ethnicity, and obstetric comorbidity index. A total of 1,976 twin gestations were included.
Results: The SMM rate was 14.0 % (n=276).
Conclusions: Neither pre-pregnancy BMI nor GWG was associated with SMM, both before or after adjustment for covariates.
