- Abstract:
- To compare the obstetric and neonatal outcome in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus after amniocentesis for amniotic fluid insulin measurement or maternal blood glucose monitoring or both as selection criterion for therapy. In a retrospective study, 408 diabetic pregnancies were analyzed; 307 were treated with diet alone (group 1) and 101 with diet and insulin (group 2). Pearson's chi2 or Fisher's exact test was used to assess obstetric and anthropometric data within these groups, and p values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Group 1 - According to the method used, no significant differences were found for gestational age at birth (p = 0.396), mode of delivery (p = 0.79) and neonatal outcome parameters determined as mean birth weight (p = 0.348), birth weight above the 75th percentile (p = 0.473), mean ponderal index (PI; p = 0.434), pH of umbilical artery (p = 0.065) and of umbilical-vein blood (p = 0.052), mean Apgar scores at 1 (p = 0.56) and 5 min (p = 0.072), insulin (p = 0.25) and glucose (p = 0.535) in cord blood. Significant differences were found for birth weight above the 90th percentile (p = 0.005) and Apgar score <7 at 1 min (p = 0.019). Group 2 - Again, no significant differences were observed in terms of gestational age at birth (p = 0.219), mode of delivery (p = 0.386), mean birth weight (p = 0.59), birth weight above the 75th (p = 0.701) and 90th percentiles (p = 0.487), mean PI (p = 0.156), pH of umbilical-artery (p = 0.197) and umbilical vein blood (p = 0.056), Apgar scores at 1 (p = 0.58) and 5 min (p = 0.52), insulin (p = 0.67) and glucose (p = 0.11) in cord blood. In retrospective analysis there was no significant difference in outcome parameters in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes dependent on the method used as selection criterion for therapy.
