Macrosomia is defined as an infant\u2019s birth weight of more than 4000\u2009g at term which is to different maternal and neonatal complications. Several studies have been done on factors influencing risk of macrosomia, but there is lack of information and study in our country regarding macrosomia complications. <jats:italic>Objective<\/jats:italic>. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of macrosomia and its complications. <jats:italic>Method<\/jats:italic>. A cohort study was conducted from 2007 to 2011 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Razi Hospital in Ahvaz city, Iran. All pregnant mothers who were referred to Obstetrics and Gynecology Department for delivery were included in this study. The total number of 201,102 pregnant mothers was recruited and divided into case and control groups after delivery (macrosomia (case) and normal weight infants (control) groups). <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Out of total deliveries (201,102), there were 1800 macrosomia, (9%). Gestational diabetes, maternal obesity (BMI), maternal aged and positive history of previous macrosomia were the major risk factors for macrosomia which were compared with the normal weight infant groups (\n for all parameters). Neonatal complications associated with macrosomia included humerus\u2014clavicle fractures and arm\u2014brachial plexus injury which were significant compared to the control group ( for all parameters). <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The macrosomia is potentially dangerous for the mother and the neonate. It is important to recognize the suspected fetal macrosomia to prevent its risk factors and complications. There is a need to provide all delivery facilities and care services to prevent and reduce the maternal and neonatal macrosomia complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5402\/2012\/353791","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,14]],"date-time":"2012-11-14T21:01:36Z","timestamp":1352926896000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Occurrence of Fetal Macrosomia Rate and Its Maternal and Neonatal Complications: A 5-Year Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.5402","volume":"2012","author":[{"given":"Mahin","family":"Najafian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, School of Medicine, Ahwaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahwaz 61357-15794, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Cheraghi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health, Ahwaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahwaz 61357-15794, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1","first-page":"1","volume":"55","year":"2006","journal-title":"National Vital Statistics Reports"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mob.2002.127458"},{"issue":"5","key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.3109\/14767059709162004","volume":"6","year":"1997","journal-title":"Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine"},{"issue":"2","key":"4","first-page":"158","volume":"66","year":"1985","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.AOG.0000253311.44696.85"},{"issue":"3","key":"6","first-page":"183","volume":"6","year":"1952","journal-title":"British Journal of Social Medicine"},{"issue":"9","key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"903","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.1968.tb01615.x","volume":"75","year":"1968","journal-title":"The Journal of obstetrics and Gynaecology of the British Commonwealth"},{"issue":"6","key":"8","first-page":"784","volume":"68","year":"1986","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1550-8579(07)80004-0"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2006.11.019"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2004.05.052"},{"issue":"6","key":"12","first-page":"715","volume":"61","year":"1983","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"key":"13","first-page":"25","volume":"6","year":"1991","journal-title":"Goztepe Tip Derg"},{"issue":"6","key":"14","first-page":"505","volume":"45","year":"2007","journal-title":"Acta Medica Iranica"},{"issue":"5","key":"15","first-page":"775","volume":"81","year":"1993","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"key":"16","first-page":"158","volume":"2","year":"1992","journal-title":"Junekoloji Obstetric"},{"issue":"4","key":"17","first-page":"420","volume":"55","year":"1980","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"},{"issue":"7","key":"18","first-page":"656","volume":"82","year":"2004","journal-title":"La Tunisie Medicale"},{"key":"19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000078942"},{"issue":"6","key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.4103\/1947-2714.97212","volume":"4","year":"2012","journal-title":"North American Journal of Medical Sciences"},{"issue":"6","key":"21","first-page":"501","volume":"31","year":"1986","journal-title":"Journal of Reproductive Medicine for the Obstetrician and Gynecologist"},{"issue":"6","key":"22","first-page":"762","volume":"66","year":"1985","journal-title":"Obstetrics and Gynecology"}],"container-title":["ISRN Obstetrics and Gynecology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2012\/353791.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2012\/353791.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/archive\/2012\/353791.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,10]],"date-time":"2020-12-10T02:29:32Z","timestamp":1607567372000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/isrn\/2012\/353791\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,14]]},"references-count":22,"alternative-id":["353791","353791"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5402\/2012\/353791","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-4444"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-4444","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,14]]}}}
