Abstract
Pregnancies affected by both pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus carry an increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. While the risks associated with diabetes in pregnancy have been well documented and span across all trimesters, maternal and neonatal morbidity have been associated with select third-trimester complications. Further, modifiable risk factors have been identified that can help improve pregnancy outcomes. This review aims to examine the relationship between select third-trimester complications (large for gestational age, intrauterine fetal demise, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm birth, perineal lacerations, shoulder dystocia, and cesarean delivery) and the aforementioned modifiable risk factors, specifically glycemic control, blood pressure control, and gestational weight gain. It also highlights how early optimization of these modifiable risk factors can reduce adverse maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. KEY POINTS: · Diabetes mellitus in pregnancy increases the risk of third-trimester complications.. · Modifiable risk factors exist for these complications.. · Optimizing these modifiable risk factors improves maternal and neonatal outcomes..
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
