“…Statistical analyzes were performed using SAS software (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA, Version 9.2). To balance the two groups (gestational diabetes yes/no), patients were matched for age (< 35 years, ≥ 35 years) and BMI classes (< 18 kg/m 2 , [18-25 kg/m 2 [, [25][26][27][28][29][30] kg/m 2 [; ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ). A patient with glucose intolerance (case) was paired with a normal glucose tolerant woman (control) by the global optimum algorithm using the method of the propensity score [7].…”

“…Preterm birth was defined as childbirth at gestational week 37 or earlier. The infant was considered to be SGA when the sex-and parity-specific birthweight was more than two standard deviations (SDs) below the mean gestational weight for the Finnish reference population, 24 and considered to have LBW when the birthweight was <2500 g. One-and 5-minute Apgar scores of ≤6 and newborn vein pH < 7.15 were considered to be low. Stillbirth was defined as fetal death from 22 gestational weeks onwards.…”

Objective To identify risk factors for fear of childbirth (FOC) according to parity and socioeconomic status, and to evaluate associations between FOC and adverse perinatal outcomes.Design A cohort study.Setting The Finnish Medical Birth Register.Population All 788 317 singleton births during 1997-2010 in Finland.Methods Fear of childbirth was defined according to the International Classification of Diseases code O99.80, and its associations with several risk factors and perinatal outcomes were analysed by multivariable logistic regression.Main outcome measures Prevalence of, risk factors for and outcomes of FOC.Results Fear of childbirth was experienced by 2.5% of nulliparous women and 4.5% of multiparous women. The strongest risk factors for FOC in nulliparous women were depression [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 6.35; 95% confidence interval (CI), 5.25-7.68], advanced maternal age (aOR, 3.78; 95% CI, 3.23-4.42) and high or unspecified socioeconomic status. In multiparous women, the strongest risk factors for FOC were depression (aOR, 5.47; 95% CI, 4.67-6.41), previous caesarean section (CS) (aOR, 3.02; 95% CI, 2.93-3.11) and high or unspecified socioeconomic status. Among both nulliparous and multiparous women, FOC was associated with higher rates of CS (3.3-fold and 4.5-fold higher, respectively) and a lower incidence of low birthweight (<2500 g), small for gestational age babies, preterm birth and low Apgar scores at 1 minute.Conclusions High and unspecified socioeconomic status, advanced maternal age and depression are predisposing factors for FOC regardless of parity. Among multiparous women, a previous CS increases vulnerability to FOC. FOC is associated with increased rates of CS, but does not adversely affect other pregnancy outcomes.

“…The inclusion criteria for the control group were delivery at full term and birth size appropriate for gestational age as birth weight and length being between –2.0 and +2.0 sex- and age-specific SDS by the current Finnish growth reference [21]. Children with a history of abnormal glucose tolerance in first-degree family members were excluded from the control group.…”

Prepubertal Children Exposed to Maternal Gestational Diabetes Have Latent Low-Grade Inflammation

Background: Maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and overweight are associated with an increased risk of obesity and the metabolic syndrome in the adult offspring. We studied the influence of maternal GDM on prepubertal children’s height, weight, body mass index (BMI), lipid and glucose metabolism, and low-grade inflammation. Methods: A cohort of 135 prepubertal Caucasian children (age range 4.4–9.7 years) was studied in a controlled cross-sectional study. Seventy-seven children had been exposed to maternal GDM, and 58 children born after a normal pregnancy served as controls. The outcomes were height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, and biochemical markers of glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammation. Results: There were no differences in height, weight, BMI, fasting serum insulin, plasma glucose, lipids, or blood pressure between the study groups. However, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) was significantly higher in the GDM group than in the controls (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Higher hs-CRP as a marker of low-grade inflammation was detected in prepubertal children exposed to maternal GDM, but no differences were seen in height, weight, BMI, or markers of glucose and lipid metabolism compared to control children. This finding may reflect an ongoing process of metabolic changes in children born after a GDM pregnancy.

Abstract: Population-based birth size references are available for the evaluation of birth size. Accounting for plurality and parity improves the accuracy of birth size evaluation.
