چکیده
OBJECTIVE To analyse data from a randomised, controlled study of prandial insulin aspart versus human insulin, both with NPH insulin, in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes for potential factors predicting poor pregnancy outcomes. RESEARCH DESIGN/METHOD: Post hoc analysis including 91 subjects randomised prior to pregnancy with known outcome in early pregnancy and 259 subjects randomised prior to pregnancy/during pregnancy of <10 weeks' gestation with known late-pregnancy outcomes. Poor early-pregnancy outcomes included fetal loss <22 gestational weeks and/or congenital malformation (n=18). Poor late-pregnancy outcomes included: composite endpoint including pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery and perinatal death (n=78); preterm delivery (n=63); and excessive fetal growth (n=88). RESULTS 18 patients experienced a malformed/lost fetus in early pregnancy - none preceded by severe hypoglycaemia. Albuminuria in early pregnancy was a significant predictor of poor late-pregnancy outcome (composite endpoint; p=0.012). In the third trimester, elevated HbA1c, ≥ 1 plasma glucose (PG) measurement >11 mmol/L (198 mg/dL) and %PG values outside 3.9-7.0 mmol/L (70-126 mg/dL) were significant predictors of poor late-pregnancy outcomes (all p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Elevated HbA1c, high glucose spikes and out-of-range %PG in the third trimester, and albuminuria in early pregnancy, are associated with poor late-pregnancy outcomes.

متن کاملEarly screening of gestational diabetes mellitus using maternal hemoglobin A1C: Revision of current screening guidelines
Background: HbA1C has been a known predictor and diagnostic test for diabetes type 2. However, this test has not yet been widely studied in GDM and more importantly no cutoff point has been defined for HbA1C in GDM. We investigated the efficacy of screening during first and second trimester of pregnancy and defined appropriate cutoff points according to HbA1C and FBS for predicting maternal GDM...

Background: Even though hormonal changes in pregnancy have been associated with plasma lipid variation, is not yet understood the mechanism which pregnancy alters lipid metabolism. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study conducted between March 2011 and May 2012 in Shariati Hospital on 112 pregnant women with GDM and 159 healthy pregnant women. In order to determine lipids or li...
متن کاملRisk of macrosomia remains glucose-dependent in a cohort of women with pregestational type 1 diabetes and good glycemic control
Macrosomia risk remains high in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) complicated pregnancies. A linear relationship between macrosomia risk and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was described; however, low range of HbA1c has not been studied. We aimed to identify risk factors and examine the impact of HbA1c on the occurrence of macrosomia in newborns of T1DM women from a cohort with good glycemic control. In t...
متن کاملIncreased second trimester maternal glucose levels are related to extremely large-for-gestational-age infants in women with type 1 diabetes.
OBJECTIVE Large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants (birth weight > or = 90th centile) are a continuing problem in pregnancies of women with type 1 diabetes. We used the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) to assess the relationship between 24-h diurnal glucose profiles in all three trimesters of pregnancy and infant birth weight. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty-nine pregnant women w...
