Adverse neonatal outcomes (ANO)
There were no differences in the rates of SGA, LGA, fetal/neonatal
death, neonatal hypoglycemia, or the composite ANO
(death/dystocia/LGA/SGA) when index and subsequent GDM pregnancies were
compared as a group (Table 1). Babies from subsequent pregnancies were
delivered slightly earlier (38.5±1.4 vs 38.7 ±1.6 weeks gestation,
p=0.02) than those from index pregnancies. While birth weight was
increased in the subsequent pregnancy (3392±587 g vs 3315±554 g,
p=0.005), customized birth centiles were similar (54 (28-80) % vs 50
(27-77) %, p=0.23) (Table 1).
