Abstract

OBJECTIVES
The aim of the current paper is to analyze maternal and neonatal complication of pregestational diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus, and to compare with the outcome METHOD: The study included 108 pregnancies with diabetes mellitus among 8,495 admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Catholic University of Korea Medical College, Holy Family Hospital from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 1998. The pregnancies were divided into pregestational diabetes mellitus group and gestational diabetes mellitus group. The data were analyzed and reviewed retrospectively based on medical records
RESULTS
1) Incidence of maternal complication in gestational diabetes mellitus was 7% of pregnancy induced hypertension, 3% of pyelonephritis, 1% of retinopathy and 1% of chronic hypertension. In case of pregestational diabetes mellitus, 18% of pregnancy induced hypertension, 5% of nephropathy, 9% of retinopathy and 14% of pyelonephritis. 2) Incidence of neonatal complication in gestational diabetes mellitus was 1% of congenital malformation, 1% of shoulder dystorcia, 7.3% of polyhydramnios, 17.7% of hyperbilirubinemia, 40.6% of hypoglycemia and 1% of FDIU. In case of pregestaional diabetes mellitus, 1% of congenital malformation, 18.2% of polyhydramnios, 22.7% of hyperbilirubinemia, 27.3% of hypoglycemia, 18.6% of RDS and 4.6% of FDIU. 3) The outcomes of the treatment of pregestational diabetes; There was no significant difference in the maternal weight gain, neonatal birth wight but the incidence rates of neonatal complication was lower in case of insulin treatment 4) The outcomes of the treatment of gestational diabetes; There was significant difference in the maternal weight gain, neonatal birth weight and the incidence rates of maternal and neonatal complication was decreased in case of treatment.
CONCLUSION
Incidence of maternal complication and perinatal complication was higher in pregestaional diabetes mellitus compared with gestational diabetes mellitus, so strict control of blood glucose level and education for diabetes mellitus were essential before gestation. And the proper treatment of gestational DM was necessary because maternal weight gain during pregnancy, neonatal birth weight and the maternal and neonatal complication were affected by treatment.
