| Abstract |
Purpose
: This study was performed to examine the impact of gestational diabetes
mellitus (GDM) on perinatal outcomes, especially macrosomia and metabolic complications
in Korean women.
Methods
: We studied perinatal outcomes of 65 women with GDM
who delivered a singleton infant and were not complicated by medical disease that might
effect the fetal growth, 65 women with normal glucose tolerance were selected to match
subject with GDM matched to age, height, and prepregnancy weight.
Results
:
1) Mean birth weight in infants of mothers with GDM was significantly heavier than
that in infants of control mothers, even though the delivery was almost one week
earlier(3524 vs. 3364gm).
2) Although length and head circumference of infants were not different between 2
groups, chest circumference and Ponderal index were significantly higher in infants of
mothers with GDM.
3) The frequencies of LGA infants and macrosomia were higher in GDM group, but
frequency of prematurity was not different between 2 groups.
4) The proportion of disproportionate growth among macrosomic infants was significantly
higher in GDM group.
5) In infants of mothers with GDM, the frequencies of LGA infants were not
significantly different between 2 groups which were separated according to the fasting
glucose level measured at the time of diagnosis.
6) In infants of mothers with GDM, the frequencies of hypoglycemia, polycythemia,
hypocalcemia and hyperbilirubinemia were 21.5%, 18.5%, 3.1% and 33.8% respectively.
When infants of mothers with GDM were divided to 2 groups (LGA, AGA), the frequencies
of polycythemia and hyperbilirubinemia in LGA infants were higher than those
in AGA infants (30.8 vs. 10.3% and 50.5 vs. 23.1%, respectively).
6) There was a significant positive correlation between Ponderal index and chest
circumference/head circumference ratio(r=0.37, p< 0.01).
Conclusion
: Inspite of tight metabolic control of mothers with GDM, perinatal
complications, such as macrosomia, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia were frequent in
infants of mothers with GDM. In case of infants of mothers with GDM, perinatal
complication should be treated earlier or prevented by careful physical examination and
intensive management. |
