Evaluation of the Relationship Between HbA1C Values of Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes and Anthropometric Measurements of Their Newborn

Abstract

AIM: In our study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the HbA1c values of pregnant women who admitted to Umraniye Training and Research Hospital and diagnosed with GDM and the anthropometric measurements of the newborns. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 200 pregnant women with gestational diabetes between the ages of 18 and 43 with sufficient data were accepted to our study Also, 200 healthy pregnant women formed the control group. The data of both groups were statistically compared. RESULTS:. Gravidity of pregnant women was 1-8 and parity 1-7 and all between 27-42 gestational weeks. HbA1c values ranged from 4.3 to 8.3. The height of the babies was between 30 and 57 cm, birth weight between 800 and 4760 grams, and head circumference between 22 and 65 cm. While 1st minute apgar values varied between 2 and 9, 5th minute apgar values varied between 4 and 10. While 55.3% of the pregnant women had a normal birth, 44.7% of them had cesarean section. 95.5% of HbA1c values were less than 6.5 and 4.5% of them were at least 6.5. 45% of the newborns were girls and 55% were boys. 7% were low birth weight, 87% normal weight and 6% macrosomic. While 21.5% of newborns had complications, 78.5% had no complications. CONCLUSION: The complication rate was higher in pregnant women with GDM and cesarean rate was higher due to increasing birth weight in our study.
