Abstract
AIM: This study aimed to assess the course of pregnancy and childbirth in comorbid patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective analysis enrolled 168 individual cards of pregnant women and women in labor with GDM between 2018 and 2020.
RESULTS: Analysis of the comorbid background of pregnant women revealed the presence of overweight and obesity in 48.2% of patients. Thus, these conditions were attributed as determinants in the development of GDM. In 58.7% patients, delivery was performed by cesarean section; however, in 11.3% of pregnant women, surgical delivery was performed for the first time; the main indication for it was a large fetus.
CONCLUSION: Comorbid background in pregnant women contributes to GDM development, which causes a high percentage of obstetric complications and diabetic fetopathy. The risk strategy for this pathology involves predicting complications using continuous outpatient observation, timely treatment, and hospitalization in accordance with the degree of risk.
