Implication

Multicentre retrospective study reveals high GDM prevalence and highlights need for improved screening in pregnant women, indicating severe maternal complications related to GDM.

Key Points

  • Gestational diabetes mellitus significantly increases risks of caesarean delivery and preeclampsia in pregnant women.
  • Only 17% of women were screened for gestational diabetes before 24 weeks, highlighting critical gaps in care.
  • This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed 297 patient files across four hospitals in Southern Morocco from 2019 to 2023.
  • Increasing awareness and improved screening protocols can potentially reduce maternal complications related to gestational diabetes.
