ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

To assess pregnancy weight gain and newborn anthropometry in mothers with homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease and normal controls.

METHODS:

An eleven-year retrospective review at the University Hospital of the West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica, revealed 128 singleton deliveries in women with SS disease who were matched by maternal age and birth date with 128 controls with a normal AA phenotype. Restriction to those commencing antenatal care before 16 weeks gestation resulted in the final study group of 80 SS patients and 115 AA controls. Weight and height were measured at first antenatal visit and weight at 20, 25, 30, 35 and 38 weeks gestation. Longitudinal regression used mothers'weight as the outcome, genotype as a predictor and gestational age as a random effect. Regression analyses ofmaternal weight on childhood anthropometry were repeated in separate maternal genotypes. Neonatal indices included gestational age, birthweight, head circumference and crown-heel length.

RESULTS:

Mothers with SS disease had lower weight and body mass index at first antenatal clinic visit (p < 0.001). Total weight gain was 6.9 kg for SS women and 10.4 kg for AA controls (p < 0.001) and weekly weight gain 0.263 kg (95% CI 0.224, 0.301) and 0.396 kg (95% CI 0.364, 0.427) respectively. A significant relationship occurred between birthweight and maternal weight gain at 25-30 weeks gestation in AA controls but this relationship appears delayed in SS disease.

CONCLUSION:

Different patterns of maternal weight gain in SS mothers and normal controls may have significance for the lower birthweight in SS mothers.
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Evaluar la ganancia de peso gestacional y la antropometría neonatal en madres con anemia de células falciformes (CF) homocigóticas y en controles normales.

MÉTODO:

Un examen retrospectivo de once años en el Hospital Universitario de West Indies West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica, reveló la ocurrencia de 128 partos únicos (e.d. de un solo bebé) en mujeres con la enfermedad de CF, que fueron comparadas sobre la base de la edad materna y la fecha de nacimiento, con 128 controles de fenotipo AA normal. A partir de restricciones a las gestantes que comenzaron el cuidado prenatal antes de las 16 semanas de gestación, se llegó finalmente al grupo de estudio de 80 pacientes con CF y 115 controles con AA. El peso y la altura se midieron en la primera visita prenatal, y el peso a las 20, 25, 30, 35 y 38 semanas de gestación. La regresión longitudinal usó el peso de las madres como resultado, el genotipo como predictor, y la edad gestacional como efecto aleatorio. Los análisis de la regresión de peso materno sobre la antropometría fueron repetidos en genotipos maternos separados. Los índices neonatales incluyeron la edad gestacional, el peso al nacer y la circunferencia cefálica.

RESULTADOS:

Las madres con la enfermedad de CF tenían más bajo peso e índice de masa corporal en la primera visita clínica prenatal (p < 0.001). La ganancia de peso total fue 6.9 kg para las mujeres con CF y 10.4 kg para los controles AA (p < 0.001) y la ganancia de peso semanal 0.263 kg (95% CI 0.224-0.301) y 0.396 kg (95% CI 0.364-0.427) respectivamente. Una relación significativa tuvo lugar entre el peso al nacer y la ganancia de peso materna en las semanas 25-30 de gestación en los controles AA, pero esta relación parece demorada en la enfermedad de CF.

CONCLUSION:

Los patrones diferentes de ganancia de peso materno en las madres con CF y los controles normales, pueden tener importancia significativa para las madres con CF.
