Overview

Prospective cohort study reveals a significant link between blood glucose control and maternal, neonatal outcomes.

Key Points

  • Women with gestational diabetes are at higher risk for maternal complications, with 27.8% reporting adverse outcomes.
  • A significant association was found between poor blood glucose control and increased maternal complications (p < 0.001).
  • The majority of participants were aged 35 or older, with 67.6% classified as obese, highlighting risk factor prevalence.
  • Targeting modifiable risk factors and enhancing diabetes management adherence is crucial for better outcomes.
