Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatal Health
  • Maternal Health

Background:

  • Parity, the number of times a mother has given birth, is a significant factor in maternal and infant health.
  • Previous research indicates varying associations between parity and birthweight across different populations.
  • Understanding these relationships is crucial for prenatal care and predicting infant outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between maternal parity and newborn birthweight in Saudi patients.
  • To analyze birthweight trends in relation to increasing parity, considering sex-specific differences.
  • To examine the relationship between maternal age and parity in the studied Saudi population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 4,664 newborn records from Tabuk and Najran, Saudi Arabia (1985-1988).
  • Data collection included birthweight, maternal parity, and maternal age.
  • Statistical examination of correlations between parity, birthweight, and maternal age.

Main Results:

  • 30.7% of newborns were born to mothers with parity greater than 5.
  • A positive correlation was observed between increasing parity and birthweight from parity 9 onwards.
  • Male newborns showed increasing birthweight from parity 9 to 11, while female newborns exhibited different patterns. Maternal age increased with parity.

Conclusions:

  • Higher maternal parity is associated with increased birthweight in Saudi newborns, particularly from parity 9.
  • Sex-specific differences in birthweight trends exist at higher parities.
  • Maternal age demonstrates a positive correlation with increasing parity in this Saudi cohort.
