dc.description.abstract | BACKGROUND: To assess the perinatal morbidity and mortality of macrosomic (>4500 g) and low birth weight (LBW) (<2500 g) neonates in a Pacific Islander population (PIP) from Samoa compared to a Caucasian population (CP). METHODS: Case-control study. Clinical data were extracted by chart review. RESULTS: In 3166 (PIP) and 2101 (CP) deliveries, macrosomia was more prevalent and LBW less prevalent in the PIP [76/3166 (2.4 %) vs. 21/2101 (0.9 %); p < 0.0001 and 149/3166 (4.7 %) vs. 163/2101 (7.7 %); p < 0.0001, respectively]. Among macrosomic neonates, perinatal mortality and composite severe neonatal morbidity (CNM) were higher in the PIP compared to the CP [2/76 (3 %) vs. 0/21 (0 %) and 6/76 (7 %) vs. 1/21 (4 %), respectively]. Among LBW neonates, mortality, but not CNM, was significantly higher in the PIP [16/149 (7 %) vs. 2/163 (1 %), p < 0.0001 and 10/149 (6 %) vs. 5/163 (3 %), p = 0.2, respectively]. The proportion of macrosomic neonates transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit was significantly higher in the PIP [50/76 (65 %) vs. 0/21 (0 %), p < 0.0001]. Age, body mass index, and delivery mode did not independently predict CNM. CONCLUSION: Samoan women have higher rates of macrosomia and lower rates of LBW compared to Caucasians, suggesting an anthropomorphic basis of this phenomenon. | - |
