Gestational reactive hypoglycaemia and adverse pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Reactive hypoglycaemia is a condition where blood glucose drops after a glucose load, and may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to determine the association between gestational reactive hypoglycaemia (GRH) and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes including those related to diabetes. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching 4 databases: Medline, Embase, Web of science, and Maternity & infant care database, from inception to 1 December 2023. The outcomes of interest were any reported adverse pregnancy outcomes including large for gestational age (LGA), macrosomia, small for gestational age (SGA), fetal growth restriction (FGR), low birth weight (LBW), caesarean delivery, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, neonatal hypoglycaem
