Objective: To investigate the role of maternal height and body mass index in the prediction of preterm birth
Material and Method: Patients who had either cesarean section and/or normal delivery in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in the last 5 years were included in the study. Demographic data, weeks of gestation at the time of delivery, maternal height and body mass index of the patients with preterm delivery were recorded retrospectively for the study group. The control group consisted of retrospectively selected patients who had given birth after the expected date of delivery using the Naegele method.
Results: In the study, 295 of 541 pregnant women had a preterm birth (study group), while 246 women had given birth after the expected date of delivery (control group). Maternal height and body mass index had an influence on preterm birth. The sensitivity and specificity values for a height of 152.5 cm and a body mass index of 21.3 kg/m2 were (1.0 and 0.13) and (1.0 and 0.06), respectively. In the receiver characteristics analysis of these variables affecting preterm birth, the area under the curve for body mass index and maternal height were 0.763 and 0.708, respectively.
Conclusion: We conclude that height and body mass index were found to be good discriminators for the prediction of preterm birth.

Erken doğumu öngörmede anne boyu ve vücut kitle indeksinin rolü

Öz

Amaç: Erken doğumun öngörülmesinde anne boyu ve vücut kitle indeksinin rolünü araştırmak
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Kliniğinde son 5 yıl içinde sezaryen ve/veya normal doğum yapan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Çalışma grubu için erken doğum yapan hastaların demografik verileri, doğum sırasındaki gebelik haftaları, anne boyu ve vücut kitle indeksi retrospektif olarak kaydedilmiştir. Kontrol grubu, Naegele yöntemi kullanılarak beklenen doğum tarihinden sonra doğum yapan ve retrospektif olarak seçilen hastalardan oluşmuştur.
Bulgular: Çalışmada 541 gebenin 295'i erken doğum yapmış (çalışma grubu), 246'sı ise beklenen doğum tarihinden sonra doğum yapmıştır (kontrol grubu). Anne boyunun ve vücut kitle indeksinin erken doğum üzerinde etkisi vardı. Boy uzunluğunun 152,5 cm ve vücut kitle indeksinin 21,3 kg/m2 olması için duyarlılık ve özgüllük değerleri sırasıyla (1,0 ve 0,13) ve (1,0 ve 0,06) idi. Erken doğumu etkileyen bu değişkenlerin alıcı özellikleri analizinde, vücut kitle indeksi ve anne boyu için eğri altında kalan alan sırasıyla 0,763 ve 0,708'dir.
Sonuç: Boy ve vücut kitle indeksinin erken doğumun öngörülmesinde iyi ayırt edici değişkenler olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
