Objective. To determine the effectiveness of a comprehensive pregravid preparation program on the basis of studying the features of the course of pregnancy in obese women.
Subjects and methods. Examinations were made in 118 reproductive-aged women who were permanent residents in the city of Perm. A study group consisted of 36 patients who underwent a comprehensive pregnancy preparation program (diet therapy, replenishment of macro- and micronutrients: vitamin D3, folic acid, iodine, iron, and an anti-obesity drug combination of sibutramine + metformin). Comparison and control groups included women who were unprepared for pregnancy: the comparison group comprised 62 obese patients; the control group consisted of 20 non-obese women.
Results. The study group showed an 8.3% weight loss. No reproductive losses were recorded in this group. It was established that threatened miscarriage was diagnosed in 10/32 (34.4%) patients who had received no pregravid preparation and in 7/36 (19.4%) women of the study group. During pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus developed in 16/32 (50%) women of the comparison group and in 4/36 (11.1%) women of the study group.
Placental insufficiency was detected in 8/36 (22.2%) patients who had received pregravid preparation and in 20/32 (62.6%) who had not.
Conclusion. The program proposed by the authors for pregravid preparation with the anti-obesity combination medication Reduxin Forte (especially for women with visceral abdominal obesity), vitamin D3, iodine, and folic acid and their recommendations for lifestyle modification significantly prevent gestational complications.
