Increased risk of neonatal complications or death among neonates born small for gestational age to mothers with gestational diabetes

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Dec 05, 2019

Barquiel B, et al. - In a retrospective analysis, experts explored whether neonatal complications or death are poorer for neonates born small for gestational age (SGA) vs those born with adequate weight or large for gestation age (LGA) to women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). For this investigation, they obtained clinical outcomes of neonates born to 3,413 women with GDM. Neonatal hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, hyperbilirubinemia, polycythemia, and death prevalence were contrasted among three birthweight groups: SGA, adequate, and LGA. Compared with adequate or LGA groups, neonatal complications were more frequent in the SGA group. According to findings, SGA is a risk factor for neonatal complications or death, regardless of maternal age, weight gain, fasting glucose, glycemic control, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, smoking, or neonatal prematurity. The authors’ findings suggest that women with GDM and SGA babies should be carefully monitored.
