Overt diabetes imposes a comparable burden on outcomes as pregestational diabetes: a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Women with diabetes first diagnosed during pregnancy (overt diabetes) may be at the same risk level of adverse outcomes as those with known pregestational diabetes. We compared pregnancy outcomes between these groups.

Methods

We evaluated pregnant women with type 2 diabetes, pregestational or overt diabetes, attending high risk antenatal care in two public hospitals in Southern Brazil, from May 20, 2005 to June 30, 2021. Outcomes were retrieved from electronic medical records. Risk of adverse outcomes, expressed as relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), were calculated using Poisson regression with robust estimates.

Results

Of 618 women, 33% were labelled as having overt diabetes and 67%, pregestational diabetes. Baseline maternal characterist
