Foetal Macrosomia and Foetal-Maternal Outcomes at Birth

Table 3

Neonatal outcomes.

	G Macrosomia; (n = 285)	G Upper-normal; (n = 593)	G Normal; (n = 495)	G comparisons
Birthweight (g)	4674; (4568 to 4840 g)	3816; (3657 to 4050)	3210; (3032 to 3358 g)	a, b, c
Apgar score at 5 min	10 (8)	10 (10)	10 (7)	a, b
Umbilical artery pH	7.2 (0.5)	7.2 (0.6)	7.2 (0.4)	a, b, c
pO2	2.6 (7.2)	3 (17.5)	3 (6.4)	a, b
pCO2	8.1 (12.5)	7.5 (14.2)	7.2 (9.2)	a, b, c
BE	−4.7 (23.8)	−5.2 (26.2)	−5.3 (19.9)

Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for the statistical analyses. Data are presented as the number (%) or the median (range). Variation in birthweight showed by interquartile range (Q3-Q1). G, group; a, p < 0.05 for G1 versus G2; b, p < 0.01 for G1 versus G3; c, p < 0,05 for G 2 versus G3; n, number of patients; pO2, partial pressure of O2; pCO2, partial pressure of CO2; and BE, base excess.
