Özet:

This study aims to investigate the fetal and maternal outcomes associated with macrosomic fetuses in our hospital. METHODS: Two hundred and forty three fetuses (Group 1) with 4500 grams and above and 378 fetuses (Group 2) with 3500-4500 grams who were born in Zeynep Kamil Women's and Children's Hospital of Education and Research between August 2013 and October 2017 were included in this retrospective study. Results: The average age was 30.97 ± 6.24 and the average parity was 2.28 ± 1.24. The average gestational week was 39.46 ± 1.30. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the number of pregnancies and pregnancy week(p <0.05). There was statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of postpartum hemorrhage (p <0. 01) and postterm rate (p <0.01). A significant difference was found in macrosomic group in terms of the number of cases with APGAR score <7 at 1 and 5 min, number of male infants and need for neonatal intensive care (p <0.05). Fetal macrosomy is associated with high mortality and morbidity. The type of delivery should be evaluated carefully.
