Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the validity of an enhanced nutrition management model for all pregnant women in reducing the incidence of macrosomia.Methods:This retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Beijing Birth Cohort database established by Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University. A total of 73 193 pregnant women who underwent regular prenatal examinations and delivered at the hospital between January 2018 and December 2023 were consecutively included. From 2018 to 2020, all participants received nutrition education, and high-risk pregnancies predisposed to macrosomia were referred to nutrition clinics for further follow-up. From 2021 to 2023, obstetricians participated in nutritional assessments and gestational weight gain guidance, with repeated nutrition evaluations and education provided during early, mid, and late pregnancy. A multidisciplinary team (obstetrics and nutrition departments) collaborated to implement an enhanced nutrition management model for all pregnant women. General data, parity, gestational age at delivery, neonatal birth weight, and clinical information were collected. Annual incidences of macrosomia and low birth weight were calculated. Chi-square tests and variance analysis were used to analyzed yearly changes in macrosomia rates and evaluate the impact of the two-phase management strategies on macrosomia incidence, thereby to explore the validity of an enhanced nutrition management model for all pregnant women in reducing the incidence of macrosomia.Results:The number of deliveries included annually from 2018 to 2023 was 14 578, 15 413, 11 496, 11 146, 10 396, and 10 164, respectively. Maternal pre-pregnancy body mass indices in 2022 to 2023 were higher than those in 2018 to 2021 [(22.26±3.50) and (22.23±3.65) vs (21.87±3.27), (21.82±3.31), (21.86±3.34) and (21.94±3.39) kg/m2, respectively (all P<0.05)]. Neonatal birth weights in 2021 to 2022 were lower than those in 2018 to 2020 [(3 271±514) and (3 270±513) vs (3 323±504), (3 314±500), and (3 315±510) g], and the birth weight in 2023 was further reduced compared to that in 2018 to 2022 [(3 236±506) vs (3 323±504), (3 314±500), (3 315±510), (3 271±514) and (3 270±513) g] (all P<0.05). The incidence of macrosomia in 2021 to 2022 was lower than those in 2018 to 2020 (5.55%, 5.75% vs 6.97%, 6.68%, 6.67%), and the incidence in 2023 further decreased compared to those in 2018 to 2022 (4.16% vs 6.97%, 6.68%, 6.67%, 5.55%, 5.75%) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The enhanced nutrition management model for all pregnant women effectively reduces the incidence of macrosomia, demonstrating significant clinical value for widespread implementation.
