Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Association between one abnormal value on 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test and adverse perinatal outcomes in twin gestation
Authors' conclusion
Our study provides evidence that women with twin gestation and one abnormal value on the 3-hour OGTT are at an increased risk of unfavorable neonatal outcomes. This was confirmed by multivariable logistic regressions. Further research is needed to determine whether interventions such as nutritional counseling, blood glucose monitoring, and treatment with diet and medication would improve perinatal outcomes in this population.
