Abstract
Objective:
To analyze maternal and perinatal outcomes in
pregnancies complicated by pre-gestational and gestational
diabetes.
Methods:
This is an analytical observational study with a
cross-sectional design. We examined 57 women, 39 of pre-
gestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) women, and 19 had
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The data were analyzed
using the chi-square and Fisher’s exact test.
Results:
There were no maternal deaths in either group.
Pre-eclampsia was significantly higher in the PGDM group.
Perinatal deaths and asphyxia were the same in both groups.
Prematurity was higher in the PGDM group. Neonates of
GDM women appeared to be heavier. Intrauterine fetal
death (IUFD) rates were higher in the GDM group. Congenital
anomalies were found in the GDM group.
