Leybovitz-Haleluya N, et al. - In this population-based cohort analysis, researchers examined the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on the risk for childhood cardiovascular disease in the offspring. This investigation compared total and different subtypes of cardiovascular related pediatric diagnoses among offspring of mothers with GDM vs offspring of mothers with no diabetes. They found a significant association between GDM and the rate of cardiovascular hospitalizations in the offspring. Data revealed that GDM A1 was an independent risk factor for pediatric cardiovascular disease in the offspring.
