Abstract :

 OBJECTIVES: To assess the fetomaternal outcome of pregnancy in mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with healthy pregnant women.

METHOD: A cross sectional study, conducted in 1860 patients, where 30 pregnant women with risk factors for GDM attending antenatal clinic and admitted in antenatal ward , was carried out in the department of obstetrics & gynecology of Mahathma Gandhi Memorial government hospital, a tertiary health care referral centre, Trichy, over a period of 1 month from MARCH 2017 – APRIL 2017.

RESULTS: The findings of the present study confirmed that GDM patients are liable to have adverse pregnancy outcomes. As expected, women with GDM in present study were found to have a higher maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality compared to normal pregnant women. Increasing age(31±5.5years) of patient was significantly associated with GDM. Poor past obstetric history, past history for GDM, positive family history carried significant high risk for GDM.

CONCLUSION: Early detection of GDM and screening of high risk group with provision of appropriate treatment will reduce  the social and financial burdens of managing the complications of GDM.
