Gestational Blood Glucose Levels in Normal and Potentially Diabetic Women Related to the Birth Weight of Their Infants
Abstract
Data from 5,534 prenatal registrants who had blood glucose determinations following the ingestion of 50 gm. of glucose indicated that age is the only maternal factor of significance to resulting blood glucose levels when other variables are held fixed. The lack of a blood glucose—birth weight correlation in the general population was further explored with the demonstration that such a relationship exists among groups of potentially diabetic women. Overweight women giving birth to a large baby were found to have significantly higher mean blood glucose values. The overweight women with an infant of average birth weight or the normal weight women with a large baby had no such blood glucose elevation. These data imply that more accurate separation of either the overweight women or women giving birth to large babies into groups of special significance to future development of diabetes mellitus is possible.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
