Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the obstetric complications that follow excessive weight gain during pregnancy in OBGYN emergency room at Hospital Central of Maracay, Venezuela, during July 2016 to July 2017. Materials and Methods: a cross-sectional study that included 124 patients, 50 exposed to excessive gestational weight gain, and 74 controls where we looked for obstetric complications such as hypertensive disorders, metabolic diseases and fetal complications as growth retardation, macrosomia, oligo – polyhydramnios. Data was analyzed in contingency tables to obtain Odds Ratios. ANOVA test performed to obtain statistical significance p < 0.05 comparing both groups, using free statistical software EPI INFO v7. Results: Gestational hypertension OR 7.48 (95% IC 2,26-26,71) and its comorbidities: fetal growth restriction OR: 2,86 (95% IC:1,16-7,07) and oligohydramnios OR: 2,79 (95% IC:1,23-2,34) were associated to higher risk. Other complications were observed without further statistical significance. Conclusions: Excessive weight gain can be considered a risk factor for obstetric complications, mainly associated with vascular problems such as hypertension. We recommend further investigations in this area.

The genus Amaranthus comprises about 70 species, of which 40 are native to the American continent and the rest of Australia, Africa, Asia and Europe. A. caudatus L., A. hypochondriacus L. and A. cruentus L. are the species that in recent years have created a strong interest as agricultural crops in many regions of the world due to the high nutritional value of their seeds and leaves. Amaranth, considered one of the most nutritious pseudocereals, mainly used for human consumption in several ways; highlighting among them the production of solid sweets with their seeds or drinks based on flour, as vegetables, as fodder for livestock and for obtaining oils and cosmetic products. In spite of being considered by FAO as the crop with the greatest potential for technical development for the regions and communities of America due to the nutritional characteristics of the whole plant as well as the attribute of its excellent capacity to resist soils and dry climates, It presents a very slow production curve, mainly at low yields, hence, the objective of this review is to perform an analysis of the multiple forms, in addition to consumption, in which amaranth can be used, and with this, in some way, motivate farmers to continue cultivating it.
