Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Predictive factors of weight at birth of newborns of adult women with pregestational Diabetes Mellitus : A retrospective observational study
Authors' conclusion
The best predictors of BW were gestational age at birth and maternal anthropometric gestational characteristics, which are modifiable variables. The results may contribute to a review of the prenatal routines of pregnant women with DM.
