Abstract

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on maternal and fetal perinatal parameters, as well to evaluate the influence of GDM on neonatal early motoric development. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated 203 eligible participants that were admitted to obstetrics department for a labor. GDM was assessed by evaluation of maternal parameters, fetal parameters, as well its impact on infants early motoric development (Alberta Infant Motor Scale—AIMS). Results: Presence of GDM was significantly positively associated with: pre-pregnancy weight, obesity degree, weight at delivery, gestational weight gain (GWG), body mass index (BMI) at delivery, GWG and increased pre-pregnancy BMI, glucose levels in mother’s venous blood after the delivery, positive family history for cardiovascular disease, pregnancy-related hypertension, congenital thrombophilia, drug use in pregnancy, large for gestational age (LGA), mode of delivery (Cesarean section and instrumental delivery). Likewise, GDM association was detected for tested ultrasound parameters (biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femoral length (FL)), length at birth, birth weight, newborn’s head circumference, newborn’s chest circumference, AIMS supination and pronation at three months, AIMS supination, pronation, sitting and standing at six months. Only Amniotic Fluid Index and AIMS supination at three months of infant’s age remained significantly associated in multivariate regression model. Conclusions: The presence of significant positive association of numerous tested parameters in our study on perinatal outcomes and early motoric development, points to the necessity of establishing appropriate clinical decision-making strategies for all pregnant woman at risk and emphasize the importance of providing adequate glycaemia control options and further regular follow ups during the pregnancy.

  • In Serbia, Lackovic et al. assessed GDM incidence at 24.6% and found positive correlations between GDM and BMI at delivery, gestational weight gain, pre-pregnancy BMI, positive family history for cardiovascular disease, LGA, mode of delivery, congenital thrombophilia, and hypertension in pregnancy.

    “Lackovic et al. assessed the incidence of GDM at 24.6%. In addition, they found positive correlations between GDM and BMI at delivery, gestational weight gain (GWG), pre-pregnancy BMI, positive family history for cardiovascular disease, LGA, mode of delivery, congenital thrombophilia, and hypertension in pregnancy [190].”

  • In Serbia, ADA or IADPSG criteria for GDM diagnosis are used; earlier, 100 g OGTT was used in high-risk patients.

    “In Serbia the ADA or IADPSG criteria for GDM diagnosis are used [189,190,191]. Earlier, the 100 g OGTT was used in high-risk patients [189].”

    From Evolution of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus across Continents in 21st Century (2022) · cites this paper as [190]

    Methods §2.1 reports that this Serbian study diagnosed GDM using ADA recommendations and a 75 g OGTT, with higher-risk patients screened earlier in pregnancy. It does not report earlier use of a 100 g OGTT in high-risk patients or establish that IADPSG criteria are used in Serbia. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
