Outcome was a culture-confirmed EOS diagnosis. We estimated hazard ratios (HR) of EOS according to BMI using proportional hazard models, and identified potential mediators.

Compared with infants of normal-weight mothers (BMI, 18.5\u201324.9), the adjusted HR (95% confidence interval [CI]) of EOS for BMI categories &amp;lt;18.5, 25.0\u201329.9, 30.0\u201334.9, 35.0\u201339.9, and \u226540.0 were, respectively, 1.07 (.83\u20131.40), 1.19 (1.08\u20131.32), 1.70 (1.49\u20131.94), 2.11 (1.73\u20132.58), and 2.50 (1.86\u20133.38). Maternal overweight and obesity increased the risk of EOS by group B Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Half of the association was mediated through preeclampsia, cesarean section delivery, and preterm delivery. A dose-response association was consistently apparent in term infants only. In sibling-controlled analyses, every kilogram per meter squared interpregnancy BMI change was associated with a mean 8.3% increase in EOS risk (95% CI, 1.7%\u201315.3%; P = .01).<\/jats:p>\n
