BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Diabetes is the most common medical disease in pregnancy. In the first of 20th century the most of diabetic women were infertile and some women who got pregnant had a poor prognosis, but now Insulin therapy increases the chance of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to compare maternal and neonatal morbidity in diabetic pregnant women with control group.
METHODS: This cohort study as simple sampling was done on 80 pregnant women with diabetes who were under treatment and 160 non diabetic pregnant women during 2 years. Data including maternal and neonatal characteristics and morbidity were recorded and compared.
FINDINGS: The mean age of patients in diabetic women and control group was 30.3±6.6 and 26.1±4.8 years, respectively. Gravid, parity, live birth, presentation and morbidity showed no significant difference between diabetic and control group. Percent of abortion in diabetic group (n=24, 30%) was significantly higher than control group (n= 9, 11.3%) (p=0.000). Percent of cesarean section and the mean of birth weight in diabetic group were significantly higher than control group (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Although diabetes is the commonest medical disease in pregnancy but good control of blood sugar can reduce the maternal and neonatal morbidity. |
