The management of diabetes in pregnancy is a great challenge in a low resource setting because of limited resources and facilities to care for these women. Aim: To determine the maternal and perinatal outcomes of diabetic pregnant women managed at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki, Southeast, Nigeria. Materials and methods: This was a 7-year retrospective case-control study that compared pregnancy outcomes among women with pregnancies complicated by diabetes and those without diabetes managed at Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakalikibetween January 1st, 2012 and December 31st, 2018. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Results: The incidence of diabetes in pregnancy in this study was 6.6 per 1000 deliveries. Of 126 women in diabetic arm of the study, 81 were diagnosed during pregnancy and 45 were known diabetic prior to conception. Over two-thirds of 126 women with pregnancy complicated by diabetes achieved good blood glucose control during pregnancy. Both groups differ in their mean BMI and women with diabetes in pregnancy were more likely to be obese compared with control (diabetic;30.1 ± 2.5 versus control;23.4 ± 2.1, P < 0.0001). Pregnant women with diabetes were more likely to be delivered by cesarean section when compared with non-diabetic women (86 versus 23, OR = 9.6, 95% CI: 5.35 - 17.32, P < 0.0001). Similarly, the incidence of polyhydramnious was higher in paturients with diabetes when compared with the control groups (26 versus 13, OR = 2.2, 95%CI: 1.10 - 4.63, P = 0.02). There were no differences between both study groups with regards to other maternal outcomes. The incidence of fetal macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome were significantly higher among women whose pregnancies were complicated by diabetes when compared with the control [Diabetics;fetal macrosomia (62.7%), neonatal hypoglycemia (44.4%) and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (22.2%) versus Control;fetal macrosomia (34.1%), neonatal hypoglycemia (7.9%) and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (5.6%) respectively]. Conclusion: Women with pregnancies complicated by diabetes had a higher incidence of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. Clinical recognition of diabetes in pregnancy is important because institution of therapy, and antepartum fetal surveillance can reduce the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with the condition.展开更多

It is defined as any level of glucose intolerance, appearing or first being recognized during pregnancy. It is essential to diagnose and treat GDM early, in order to reduce or avoid complications for mother and fetus. Recently, new guidelines have changed the diagnosis criteria, and it is expected that the prevalence of GDM will increase by approximately 18%. A relevant goal of these new definitions is to provide a better care for pregnant women, in an attempt to reduce fetal and maternal complications. These new criteria will also increase the impact on costs of the health care system. Treatment must be individualized for best results, including a specific diet, physical activity and the use of medications. Metformin and Insulin use are analyzed in detail, in face of new evidences regarding their safety and efficacy during pregnancy.展开更多

METHODS In this systematic literature review, PubM ed/MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched(13 November 2015) using terms for diabetes(type 1, type 2, or gestational), depression, and pregnancy(no language or date restrictions). Publications that reported on women who had both DIP(any type) and depression or depressive symptoms before, during, or within one year after pregnancy were considered for inclusion. All study types were eligible for inclusion; conference abstracts, narrative reviews, nonclinical letters, editorials, and commentaries were excluded, unless they provided treatment guidance.RESULTS Of 1189 articles identified, 48 articles describing women with both DIP and depression were included(sample sizes 36 to > 32 million). Overall study quality was poor; most studies were observational, and only 12 studies(mostly retrospective database studies) required clinical depression diagnosis. The prevalence of concurrent DIP(any type) and depression in general populations of pregnant women ranged from 0% to 1.6%(median 0.61%; 12 studies). The prevalence of depression among women with gestational diabetes ranged from 4.1% to 80%(median 14.7%; 16 studies). Many studies examined whether DIP was a risk factor for depression or depression was a risk factor for DIP. However, there was no clear consensus for either relationship. Importantly, we found limited guidance on the management of women with both DIP and depression. CONCLUSION Given the increasing prevalence of diabetes and depression, high-quality research and specific guidance for management of pregnant women with both conditions are warranted.展开更多

However, the relationships between them remain ambiguous. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results on adverse perinatal outcomes. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included data from 15 hospitals in Beijing from June 20, 2013 to November 30, 2013. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were categorized according to the number and distribution of abnormal OGTT values, and the characteristics of adverse pregnancy outcomes were evaluated. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the associations. Results: in total, 14,741 pregnant women were included in the study population, 2927 (19.86%) of whom had G DM. As the number of hyperglycemic values in the OGTT increased, the risk of cesarean delivery, preterm births, large-for-gestational age (LGA), macrosomia, and neonatal complications significantly increased. Fasting hyperglycemia bad clear associations with macrosomia (odds ratios [ORs]:1.84, 95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 1.39-2.42, P 〈 0.001), L(SA (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.29-2.25. P 〈 0.001), and cesarean delivery (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.15-1.55, P 〈 0.001). The associations were stronger as tasting glucose increased. GDM diagnosed by hyperglycemia at OGTT-2 h was more likely to lead to preterm birth (OR: 1.50, 95% Cl: 1. 11-2.03, P 〈 0.01). Conclusions: Various characteristics of OGTTs are associated with different adverse outcomes. A careful reconsideration ofGDM wiih hierarchical and individualized management according to OGTT characteristics is needed.展开更多

Study Design: A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, with analysis of 25 studies that recorded neonatal and maternal outcomes in women who used metformin during pregnancy. The outcomes assessed in this review include congenital deformities, miscarriages, preterm labour, gestational diabetes (GDM) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Results: We found that the use of metformin throughout pregnancy correlated with decreased rates of preterm labour, GDM and PIH. Conflicting evidence exists over whether metformin use during pregnancy reduced miscarriage rates. The use of metformin during pregnancy did not increase teratogenicity risks. Conclusion: The use of metformin throughout pregnancy is associated with decreased rates of preterm labour, GDM, and PIH. However, more randomised controls involving larger numbers of participants are required for more definitive results.展开更多

METHODS In this systematic literature review, PubM ed/MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched(13 November 2015) using terms for diabetes(type 1, type 2, or gestational), depression, and pregnancy(no language or date restrictions). Publications that reported on women who had both DIP(any type) and depression or depressive symptoms before, during, or within one year after pregnancy were considered for inclusion. All study types were eligible for inclusion; conference abstracts, narrative reviews, nonclinical letters, editorials, and commentaries were excluded, unless they provided treatment guidance.RESULTS Of 1189 articles identified, 48 articles describing women with both DIP and depression were included(sample sizes 36 to > 32 million). Overall study quality was poor; most studies were observational, and only 12 studies(mostly retrospective database studies) required clinical depression diagnosis. The prevalence of concurrent DIP(any type) and depression in general populations of pregnant women ranged from 0% to 1.6%(median 0.61%; 12 studies). The prevalence of depression among women with gestational diabetes ranged from 4.1% to 80%(median 14.7%; 16 studies). Many studies examined whether DIP was a risk factor for depression or depression was a risk factor for DIP. However, there was no clear consensus for either relationship. Importantly, we found limited guidance on the management of women with both DIP and depression. CONCLUSION Given the increasing prevalence of diabetes and depression, high-quality research and specific guidance for management of pregnant women with both conditions are warranted.

文摘BACKGROUND Nickel(Ni)may accumulate in the human body and has biological toxicity and carcinogenicity.Ni has an extensive impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses during gestation.AIM To evaluate Ni exposure in pregnant women in Kunming,Yunnan Province,China;to describe the distribution of Ni in the maternal-fetal system and placental barrier function;and to investigate the effect of Ni exposure on fetal health in mothers with pregnancy complications.METHODS Seventy-two pregnant women were selected using a case-control design.The women were divided into two groups:The control group(no disease;n=29)and the disease group[gestational diabetes(GDM),hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy(HDCP),or both;n=43].The pregnant women in the disease group were further divided as follows:14 cases with GDM(GDM group),13 cases with HDCP(HDCP group)and 16 cases with both GDM and HDCP(disease combination group).Basic information on the pregnant women was collected by questionnaire survey.Maternal blood,placenta blood and cord blood were collected immediately after delivery.The Ni content in paired samples was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.RESULTS Compared to the control group,age was higher and body mass index was greater in pregnant women in the disease groups(28.14±2.54 vs 28.42±13.89,P<0.05;25.90±3.86 vs 31.49±5.30,P<0.05).The birth weights of newborns in the HDCP group and the control group were significantly different(2.52±0.74 vs 3.18±0.41,P<0.05).The content of Ni in umbilical cord blood in the entire disease group was higher than that in the control group(0.10±0.16 vs 0.05±0.07,P<0.05).CONCLUSION In the maternal-fetal system of women with pregnancy complications,the barrier effect of the placenta against Ni is weakened,thus affecting healthy growth of the fetus in the uterus.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of allocating case managers for gestational diabetes patients.Methods:200 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus from December 2021 to December 2022 were included in this study,and the collection period.They were divided into groups according to the interventions received.Each patient in the observation group was managed by a case manager,while the control group were managed with conventional methods without the supervision of a case manager.There were 100 cases in each group,and the curative effects of the two groups were compared.Results:The fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The re-admission rate of patients due to poor blood sugar control in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The pregnancy outcome of the observation group was better than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Case management of gestational diabetes can not only control the blood glucose of pregnant women,but also improve pregnancy outcomes.
文摘Background: Hyperglycemia is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the relationships between them remain ambiguous. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results on adverse perinatal outcomes. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included data from 15 hospitals in Beijing from June 20, 2013 to November 30, 2013. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were categorized according to the number and distribution of abnormal OGTT values, and the characteristics of adverse pregnancy outcomes were evaluated. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the associations. Results: in total, 14,741 pregnant women were included in the study population, 2927 (19.86%) of whom had G DM. As the number of hyperglycemic values in the OGTT increased, the risk of cesarean delivery, preterm births, large-for-gestational age (LGA), macrosomia, and neonatal complications significantly increased. Fasting hyperglycemia bad clear associations with macrosomia (odds ratios [ORs]:1.84, 95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 1.39-2.42, P 〈 0.001), L(SA (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.29-2.25. P 〈 0.001), and cesarean delivery (OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.15-1.55, P 〈 0.001). The associations were stronger as tasting glucose increased. GDM diagnosed by hyperglycemia at OGTT-2 h was more likely to lead to preterm birth (OR: 1.50, 95% Cl: 1. 11-2.03, P 〈 0.01). Conclusions: Various characteristics of OGTTs are associated with different adverse outcomes. A careful reconsideration ofGDM wiih hierarchical and individualized management according to OGTT characteristics is needed.
文摘Background:Facing the increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM),this study aimed to evaluate the management of GDM and its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:The data of 996 inpatients with GDM who terminated pregnancies in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2015 were collected.Treatments during pregnancy and the last hospital admission before delivery were analyzed.Pregnancy outcomes of the GDM patients were compared with 996 nondiabetic subjects matched by delivery year and gestational age.The association between fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and adverse pregnancy outcomes was examined by logistic regression analyses.Results:The average prevalence of GDM over the 5 years was 4.4% (1330/30,191).Within the GDM patients,42.8% (426/996) received dietary intervention,whereas 19.1% (190/996) received insulin treatment.Adverse outcomes were more likely to occur in patients with unsatisfactory control of blood glucose such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS,x2 =13.373,P < 0.01).Elevated FPG was identified as an independent risk factor for premature birth (odds ratio [OR] =1.460,P < 0.001),neonatal care unit admission (OR =1.284,P < 0.001),RDS (OR=1.322,P =0.001),and stillbirth (OR =1.427,P < 0.001).Conclusions:Management of GDM in the real world of clinical practice was unsatisfactory,which might have contributed to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
文摘Background:Weight gain during pregnancy reflects the mother's nutritional status.However, it may be affected by nutritional therapy and exercise interventions used to control blood sugar in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).This study aimed to evaluate weight gain during gestation and pregnancy outcomes among women with GDM.Methods:A retrospective study involving 1523 women with GDM was conducted between July 2013 and July 2016.Demographic data, gestational weight gain (GWG), blood glucose, glycated-hemoglobin level, and maternal and fetal outcomes were extracted from medical records.Relationships between GWG and pregnancy outcomes were investigated using multivariate logistic regression.Results:In total, 451 (29.6%) women showed insufficient GWG and 484 (31.8%) showed excessive GWG.Excessive GWG was independently associated with macrosomia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.50-3.52, P<0.001), large for gestational age (aOR 2.06, 95% CI 1.44-2.93, P<0.001), small for gestational age (aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.25-0.97, P=0.040), neonatal hypoglycemia (aOR 3.80, 95% CI 1.20-12.00, P=0.023), preterm birth (aOR 0.45, 95% CI 0.21-0.96, P=0.040), and cesarean delivery (aOR 1.45, 95% CI 1.13-1.87, P=0.004).Insufficient GWG increased the incidence of preterm birth (aOR 3.53, 95% CI 1.96-6.37, P<0.001).Conclusions:Both excessive and insufficient weight gain require attention in women with GDM.Nutritional therapy and exercise interventions to control blood glucose should also be used to control reasonable weight gain during pregnancy to decrease adverse pregnancy outcomes.
文摘Objective: The purpose of this article is to review the literature assessing foetal and maternal pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS who used metformin during pregnancy. Study Design: A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE, with analysis of 25 studies that recorded neonatal and maternal outcomes in women who used metformin during pregnancy. The outcomes assessed in this review include congenital deformities, miscarriages, preterm labour, gestational diabetes (GDM) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Results: We found that the use of metformin throughout pregnancy correlated with decreased rates of preterm labour, GDM and PIH. Conflicting evidence exists over whether metformin use during pregnancy reduced miscarriage rates. The use of metformin during pregnancy did not increase teratogenicity risks. Conclusion: The use of metformin throughout pregnancy is associated with decreased rates of preterm labour, GDM, and PIH. However, more randomised controls involving larger numbers of participants are required for more definitive results.
