Association between Maternal Blood Glucose Levels during Pregnancy and Birth Outcomes: A Birth Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal blood glucose levels during pregnancy and neonatal birth outcomes in Northwest China.

Methods

This population-based cohort study included 10,010 first-trimester pregnant women who joined the birth cohort of the Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from July 2018 to July 2020. Basic demographic characteristics, lifestyle and behavior patterns were collected. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results during the second trimester and pregnancy outcomes after childbirth were also collected. A generalized linear model was constructed to analyze the effects of blood glucose levels on neonatal birth outcomes.

Results

We found that every 1 mmol/L increase in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was assoc
