There is an important increase in maternal-infant morbimortality associated with obesity.
“También existe un aumento importante de la morbimortalidad maternoinfantil.(12,13)”
From Tendencias de la frecuencia de obesidad en mujeres en edad fértil. Estudio basado en la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar-ENDES, Perú, 2005-2018 (2024) · cites this paper as [13]
The paper’s “Obesity: another ongoing pandemic” section discusses obesity-related deaths in the general population and worse COVID-19 outcomes, but does not address maternal or infant morbidity or mortality. Searches for maternal-infant, pregnancy, obstetric, neonatal, and perinatal outcomes found no relevant passage in our copy; page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.75)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredObesity is closely related to perinatal complications such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, and fetal malformations, among others.
“Se conoce que la obesidad está estrechamente relacionada a complicaciones perinatales como por ejemplo la diabetes gestacional, la pre-eclampsia y malformaciones fetales entre otros.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
