Neonatal outcomes of live-born term singletons in vertex presentation born to mothers with diabetes during pregnancy by mode of birth: a New South Wales population-based retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the association between the mode of birth and adverse neonatal outcomes of macrosomic (birth weight ≥4000 g) and non-macrosomic (birth weight <4000 g) live-born term singletons in vertex presentation (TSV) born to mothers with diabetes (pre-existing and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)).

Design

A population-based retrospective cohort study.

Setting

New South Wales, Australia.

Patients

All live-born TSV born to mothers with diabetes from 2002 to 2012.

Intervention

Comparison of neonatal outcomes by mode of birth (prelabour caesarean section (CS) and planned vaginal birth resulted in intrapartum CS, non-instrumental or instrumental vaginal birth).

Main outcome measures

Five-minute Apgar score <7, admission to neonatal in
