Abstract

Purpose: There is a trend that causes an increase in newborn weights and macrosomy rates in many countries around the world. The aim of our study is to compare the mean newborn weights in 2012 and 2016, to investigate whether there is a tendency to increase in the mean newborn weight and macrosomia rates, and to evaluate the effects of neonatal gender, mode of birth, maternal age and the season of birth on newborn weight.
