This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of "Safety of weight changes in pregnant women with obesity". The format used here is a so-called "Journal Club Summary", in which we summarize the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
This study questions the current recommendations for weight gain in pregnant women with obesity. It suggests that these guidelines should be adapted according to the severity of obesity and suggests that the lower limit for weight gain should be reconsidered, with separate guidelines for grade 3 obesity being beneficial.
Note: All "speakers" appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to improve the didactics of the videos. The people on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use. All content is based on high-quality scientific sources and is created and reviewed by the Medudy medical team.
