Effects of Risk Factors for Pregnancy Outcomes of Subsequent Pregnancy Associated with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Cohort Study in China.

BackgroundSince the implementation of the three‑child policy in China, the number of high-risk pregnant women has increased, causing serious challenges to health care during pregnancy. In this article, we aimed to investigate the impact of several risk factors for maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and recurrent GDM to formulate a management strategy to minimize the effect of risk factors for gestational diabetes. ResultsPre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain affect maternal and child outcomes in the first and second onset of GDM. Pregnancy interval and fasting blood glucose in early pregnancy influence maternal and child outcomes of recurrent GDM. Maternal lipid levels during early pregnancy have a marked influence on neonatal outcomes in recurrent GDM.ConclusionsOn the basis of this result, weight management should be closely monitored before and during pregnancy. For planning of the second pregnancy with a previous history of GDM, a reasonable time between pregnancies is ideal. Moreover, in the next pregnancy, control of fasting blood glucose and lipid levels during the first trimester is necessary to improve both maternal and child outcomes.
