Abstract

Highlights • Nutritional status in a pregnant woman is crucial. It determines the fetal outcome.• We added a case of spina bifida after Omega Gastric Bypass.• Biochemical and ultrasound monitoring should be performed regularly in pregnant women with a history of bariatric surgery.• Vitamins, minerals and trace metals deficiencies after bypass bariatric surgery could be prevented by adequate supplementation administered before and during pregnancy.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
