Maternal and perinatal outcomes during the COVID-19 epidemic in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes = Zapleti pri porodu pri nosečnostni sladkorni bolezni v Sloveniji v času epidemije COVID-19Munda, Ana ...Introduction: Gestational diabetes (GDM) is one of the most common complications in pregnancy, with a prevalence that continues to rise. At the time of the COVID-19 epidemic, immediate reorganisation ... and adjustment of the system was needed. Telemedicine support was offered in order to provide high-quality treatment to pregnant women. However, the success of the treatment is unknown. We therefore aimed to evaluate COVID-19 epidemic effects on pregnancy outcomes in GDM. Methods: The maternal outcomes (insulin treatment, gestational weight gain, caesarean section, hypertensive disorders) and perinatal outcomes (rates of large and small for gestational age, preterm birth and a composite child outcome) of women visiting a university hospital diabetes clinic from March to December 2020 were compared with those treated in the same period in 2019. Results: Women diagnosed with GDM during the COVID-19 epidemic (n=417), were diagnosed earlier (23.9 [11.7–26.0] vs. 25.1 [21.8–26.7] gestational week), had higher fasting glucose (5.2 [5.0–5.4] vs. 5.1 [4.8–5.3] mmol/l) and earlier pharmacological therapy initiation, and had achieved lower HbA1c by the end of followup (5.1% (32.2 mmol/mol) [4.9% (30.1 mmol/mol)–5.4% (35.0 mmol/mol)] vs. 5.2% (33.3 mmol/mol) [5.0% (31.1 mmol/mol) – 5.4%·(35.5 mmol/mol)], p<0.001) compared to a year before (n=430). No significant differences in perinatal outcomes were found. Conclusions: Although GDM was diagnosed at an earlier gestational age and higher fasting glucose concentration was present at the time of diagnosis, the COVID-19 epidemic did not result in worse glucose control during pregnancy or worse pregnancy outcomes in Slovenia.Source: Zdravstveno varstvo : Slovenian journal of public health. - ISSN 0351-0026 (Letn. 62, št. 1, 2023, str. 22-29)Type of material - article, component part ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2023Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 138433539
