What is Racial Disparities in a Comorbidity-based Screening Tool to Predict Severe Maternal Morbidity about?
preeclampsia was higher for women who quit smoking than for nonsmokers, especially evident with excessive gestational weight gain. There was an almost six-fold increase in the rate of stillbirth for persistent smokers (2.3%) compared to quit smoking (0.4%) and non-smoker (0.4%). CONCLUSION: Quitting smoking early in pregnancy is associated with an increased rate of preeclampsia, regardless of BMI or gestational weight gain. Gestational weight gain was highest in people who quit smoking early in pregnancy, demonstrating that women who quit smoking early in pregnancy were more likely to gain excessive weight and develop preeclampsia. Although quitting smoking early in pregnancy may significantly increase a woman's risk of preeclampsia, it does not significantly impact the mean gestational age at delivery, neonatal birthweight, and it significantly reduces the risk of stillbirth compared to persistent smokers.
