The Effect Of Intrapartum Glycemic Control On The Incidence Of Neonatal Hypoglycemia, Signe Caksa, Amanda Roman, Md

Phase 1

Introduction: 1-2% and 6-9% of pregnancies are complicated by type I/II and gestational diabetes mellitus (DM), respectively, leading to increased risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. Women with DM require glucose monitoring and glycemic control at the time of delivery; however, it remains unclear how variations in intrapartum glucose impact neonatal hypoglycemia.

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of women with singleton pregnancies, diagnosed with DM, who delivered >36 weeks gestation after attempting induction of labor at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital between 01/01/2017 and 01/01/2018.
