    A modern approach to management of pregnant diabetics: a two-year analysis of perinatal outcomes.

    Gyves MT, Rodman HM, Little AB, Fanaroff AA, Merkatz IR.

    Abstract

    Increased understanding of maternal-fetal carbohydrate homeostasis together with modern perinatal technology now provides a more rational basis for obstetric management of the pregnant diabetic patient. These concepts were applied at MacDonald House in the care of 96 diabetic pregnant women over a two-year period. Pregnancy outcomes were compared with prior experiences with the same group of women. The perinatal mortality rate was reduced from 13.5 to 4.2%, and the rate of macrosomia (infants large for gestational age) was reduced from 30.9 to 17.7%. Patients with gestational diabetes, with a prior loss rate of 8.3%, suffered no losses in the current series. Maternal age was not found to correlate with an untoward outcome in this subgroup.
