title: [The impact of selected factors on birth weight of newborns whose mothers were treated with fenoterol due to imminent preterm labor].
abstract: Various maternal genetic, morphometric and environmental factors may have important effect on birth weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of maternal pregravid weight, height, body mass index, weight gain during gestation and the length of fenoterol therapy on birth weight in case of imminent preterm labor. The study was performed in the group of 148 pregnant women who delivered after 36th week of gestation as a result of successful tocolytic treatment. Analyzed parameters were correlated with birth weight index and birth weight ratio, also in relation to parity. It was established that birth weight was significantly correlated with maternal morphometric factors but not with fenoterol therapy.
