Influence of pregravid preparation on birth outcomes in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

The purpose of the study. To study influence of pregravid preparation on birth outcomes in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Research materials and methods. For a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the influence of pregravid preparation on perinatal outcomes, 2 groups were formed, the main group the control group (n-45) was formed from among pregnant women without pregravid preparation.

Research results and discussion. The analysis showed that neonatal morbidity is more often observed among pregnant women in the comparative group who did not undergo pregravid preparation, since diabetic fetopathy was more often observed among the comparative group 19 (42,2%), where the Chi-test with Yates’ correction was - 3.777 (P<0.01). FGRS (28,5±6.9%) and respiratory distress syndrome (21.4±6.3%) were also frequently observed among the comparison group (P<0.05).

Summary. The analysis showed that pregravid preparation has a beneficial effect on the outcome of pregnancy, as there is a significant decrease in the incidence of diseases among newborns such as FGR, diabetic fetopathy, and intrauterine infection. The data obtained indicate that the somatic condition of the mother directly affects the outcome of pregnancy.
