  • Title: [Congenital malformations in the newborn infant of mothers with gestational diabetes and mothers with insulin-dependent diabetes].
    Author: Zanardo V, Pesenti P, Mittiga SM, Fantuz E, Zorzi C, Valli F, Ronconi GF.
    Journal: Pediatr Med Chir; 1983; 5(4):185-8. PubMed ID: 6647079.
    Abstract:
    Infants of diabetic mothers have an increased morbidity and mortality in the perinatal period. Nevertheless, there are differences in opinions about the exact incidence of malformations, metabolic disturbances, fetal macrosomia and respiratory distress syndrome. This study was designed to investigate the incidence of embriofetopathy in those of mothers with gestational diabetes. The incidence was highest in the group of mothers on insulin at the time of conception. Major fetal malformations of the cardiovascular and central nervous system were over-represented.
