| Summary: | 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. |
