Objective: This is to describe the epidemiological and prognostic aspects of obesity and pregnancy in the gynecology-obstetrics department at the Sylvanus Olympio University Hospital Center (CHU SO) in Lomé. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study concerning obesed pregnant women. The survey was conducted from the 1<sup>st</sup> to the 30th of June 2022 at the CHU SO. Results: We enrolled 55 obese pregnant women. The frequency of obesity and pregnancy was 5.14%. Resellers were represented at 41.8%. The average age was 31 years old. As risk factors, 85.5% claimed to have a fatty diet and 76% did not practice sports. The gestational pathologies found during pregnancy were hypertension in 47.4% of cases, preeclampsia in 24.6% and gestational diabetes in 7%. Caesarean section was the way of delivery in 63.6% of cases and those who gave birth vaginally presented a tear of the soft tissues in 85% of cases. Birth weight was abnormal (low weight and excess weight) in 61.8% of cases. Conclusion: The association between obesity and pregnancy constitutes an important risk factor for the mother and the fetus.展开更多

Methods: We analyzed all CS performed from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Results: Total number of 8676 women were delivered, of which 4583 were by CS (52.8%), emergent vs. planned;69.6% vs. 30.4%. Acute fetal asphyxia was the leading indication (25.4%), followed by pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (17.3%), and pelvic anomalies (12.2%). Analysis showed that 51% of cases had definite indications for CS, whereas in remaining cases, CS was performed for non-definite-indications. Conclusion: CS should be done based on definite indications. We must take an effort to educate this in this area, which, avoiding unnecessary CS, might reduce the CS rate in this area.展开更多
