Changes in diabetes status between pregnancies and impact on subsequent newborn outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or preexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) are at high risk for adverse newborn outcomes. Whether GDM history, recurrence, or transition to DM modifies such risks is unknown.

Study design

Medical record data on 62,013 repeat singleton pregnancies were collected retrospectively from women who delivered at least twice in Utah (2002 through 2010). Poisson regression models with robust variance estimators were used to estimate relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) associated with GDM/DM status at the previous and/or current pregnancy relative to those without GDM/DM at either. Large for gestational age (LGA), shoulder dystocia, preterm birth (<37 weeks), respiratory distress syndrome, and other n
