Abstract
PURPOSE: Bariatric surgery is associated with elevated risks for adverse birth outcomes, such as small-for-gestational-age infants (SGA). Maternal mental health is a critical regulator of fetal growth, but it is largely overlooked in pregnant women post-surgery. This study aimed to examine the associations between maternal mental health and birth outcomes in pregnant women post-bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of medical records of women who had a singleton delivery following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Mental health measures included depression/anxiety and substance use (cigarettes, alcohol, opioids, and marijuana). Birth outcomes were fetal growth restriction, SGA, low birthweight, and preterm birth. Logistic regressions were used to assess the associations between maternal mental health and each of the birth outcomes. A post hoc logistic regression was conducted to assess factors that influenced maternal marijuana use. RESULTS: Participants (N = 179) were mostly white (64.6%), non-Hispanic (84.5%), with a mean age of 32.7 ± 4.6 years, and mean body mass index of 37.2 ± 8.4 kg/m2 at conception. Maternal marijuana use significantly increased the odds for fetal growth restriction, SGA, low birthweight, and preterm birth. Cigarette use increased the risk for low birthweight. Conversely, alcohol use was protective of low birthweight and preterm birth. A post hoc analysis revealed that married women were less likely to use marijuana than those who were single, divorced, or widowed. CONCLUSION: This analysis identified marijuana and cigarette use as risk factors for adverse birth outcomes post-bariatric surgery. Future studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm study findings.
