Factors Influencing Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract

Objective Analysis of gestational diabetes risk factors and their impact on pregnancy outcomes. Methods A retrospective analysis of pregnant women who delivered in the obstetrics ward of a tertiary hospital was performed, and the pregnant women were divided into a case group and a control group according to their compliance with the diagnostic criteria of GDM. The underlying pregnancy, delivery, and pregnancy outcomes of both groups were statistically analyzed. Results The detection rate and incidence rate of gestational diabetes were 13.0%, and the incidence rate was 14.5% compared to pregnancy and childbirth complications between the two groups. No statistical differences in placental weight and cord length were found compared to the sex of the newborns by comparing the basic profile of the two groups of perinatal infants. There was no statistical difference between fetal growth restriction and neonatal abnormalities, while there was a statistical difference in neonatal outcomes between the two groups. Conclusion Age, family history, and weight are the risk factors for GDM.
