Weir TL, Majumder M, Glastras SJ. A systematic review of the effects of maternal obesity on neonatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes. Obes Rev 2024; 25:e13747. [PMID: 38679418 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Maternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence are increasing, with both conditions associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. This review aimed to determine the risk of adverse outcomes in women with obesity and GDM, compared with women with obesity alone. A systematic search identified 28 eligible articles. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random effects model, to generate pooled estimates (odds ratios, OR, or mean difference, MD). Compared with normal-weight controls, women with obesity had increased risks of large for gestational age (LGA, OR 1.98, 95% CI: 1.56, 2.52) and macrosomia (OR 2.93, 95% CI: 1.71, 5.03); the latter's risk almost double in women with obesity than GDM. Birth weight (MD 113 g, 95% CI: 69, 156) and shoulder dystocia (OR 1.23, 95% CI: 0.85, 1.78) risk was also higher. GDM significantly amplified neonatal risk in women with obesity, with a three- to four-fold risk of LGA (OR 3.22, 95% CI: 2.17, 4.79) and macrosomia (OR 3.71, 95% CI: 2.76, 4.98), as well as higher birth weights (MD 176 g, 95% CI: 89, 263), preterm delivery (OR 1.49, 95% CI: 1.25, 1.77), and shoulder dystocia (OR 1.99, 95% CI: 1.31, 3.03), when compared with normal-weight controls. Our findings demonstrate that maternal obesity increases serious neonatal adverse risk, magnified by the presence of GDM. Effective strategies are needed to safeguard against neonatal complications associated with maternal obesity, regardless of GDM status.

Association between prepregnancy body mass index or gestational weight gain and adverse pregnancy outcomes among Chinese women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e075226. [PMID: 38367974 PMCID: PMC10875528 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-075226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The association between prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) or gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse pregnancy outcomes among Chinese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is unknown. This study aims to evaluate such association by synthesising the evidence. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wangfang, and China Science and Technology Journal Database searched from inception to 11 August 2023. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Prospective cohort studies, retrospective cohort studies and case-control studies estimating the relationship of abnormal prepregnancy BMI (including underweight, overweight or obesity) or inappropriate GWG (including excess GWG or insufficient GWG) with adverse pregnancy outcomes of interest were included. Outcomes included macrosomia, caesarean section, preterm birth, gestational hypertension, large for gestational age (LGA) and small for gestational age (SGA). DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Two reviewers independently selected studies, extracted the data and assessed the risk of bias. OR estimate and its 95% CI were pooled using Stata software fixed-effect model. Subgroup analysis, meta-regression and sensitivity analysis were performed to ensure credibility of the results. RESULTS Twenty-three studies (eighteen retrospective cohort studies, three prospective cohort studies and two case control studies) involving 57 013 Chinese women with GDM were identified. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with GDM women with normal weight, GDM women with underweight were at a higher risk of SGA (OR=1.79 (1.54 to 2.07), five studies involving 31 967 women); women with overweight had higher risks of macrosomia (OR=1.65 (1.49 to 1.82), eleven studies involving 41 683 women), caesarean section (OR=1.48 (1.38 to 1.59), ten studies involving 34 935 women), preterm birth (OR=1.27 (1.13 to 1.43), eight studies involving 38 295 women) and LGA (OR=1.73 (1.54 to 1.95), seven studies involving 31 342 women) and women with obesity had higher risks of macrosomia (OR=2.37 (2.04 to 2.76), eleven studies involving 41 683 women), caesarean section (OR=2.07 (1.84 to 2.32), nine studies involving 34 829 women), preterm birth (OR=1.31 (1.09 to 1.57), eight studies involving 38 295 women) and LGA (OR=2.63 (2.15 to 3.21), six studies involving 31 236 women). Regard to GWG, compared with Chinese GDM women with sufficient GWG, GDM women with excessive GWG had higher risks of macrosomia (OR=1.74 (1.58 to 1.92), twelve studies involving 40 966 women), caesarean section (OR=1.44 (1.36 to 1.53), nine studies involving 36 205 women) and LGA (OR=2.12 (1.96 to 2.29), twelve studies involving 42 342 women); women with insufficient GWG conversely had higher risks of preterm birth (OR=1.59 (1.45 to 1.74), nine studies involving 37 461 women) and SGA (OR=1.38 (1.27 to 1.51), ten studies involving 41 080 women). CONCLUSIONS For Chinese women with GDM, abnormal prepregnancy BMI or inappropriate GWG were related to higher risks of many adverse pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, medical staff should pay more attention to the weight management of GDM women during pregnancy.

Gestational diabetes mellitus and adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes in twin and singleton pregnancies: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2024; 230:213-225. [PMID: 37595821 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2023.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the risk of adverse maternal and perinatal complications between twin and singleton pregnancies affected by gestational diabetes mellitus and the respective group without gestational diabetes mellitus (controls). DATA SOURCES A literature search was performed using MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane from January 1980 to May 2023. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Observational studies reporting maternal and perinatal outcomes in singleton and/or twin pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus vs controls were included. METHODS This was a systematic review and meta-analysis. Pooled estimate risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals were generated to determine the likelihood of adverse pregnancy outcomes between twin and singleton pregnancies with and without gestational diabetes mellitus. Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated in the model and expressed using the I2 statistic. A P value of <.05 was considered statistically significant. The meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager (RevMan Web). Version 5.4. The Cochrane Collaboration, 2020. Meta-regression was used to compare relative risks between singleton and twin pregnancies. The addition of multiple covariates into the models was used to address the lack of adjustments. RESULTS Overall, 85 studies in singleton pregnancies and 27 in twin pregnancies were included. In singleton pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus, compared with controls, there were increased risks of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (relative risk, 1.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.69-2.01), induction of labor (relative risk, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-1.77), cesarean delivery (relative risk, 1.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.24-1.38), large-for-gestational-age neonate (relative risk, 1.61; 95% confidence interval, 1.46-1.77), preterm birth (relative risk, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.27-1.46), and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (relative risk, 1.43; 95% confidence interval, 1.38-1.49). In twin pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus, compared with controls, there were increased risks of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (relative risk, 1.69; 95% confidence interval, 1.51-1.90), cesarean delivery (relative risk, 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-1.13), large-for-gestational-age neonate (relative risk, 1.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.60), preterm birth (relative risk, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.32), and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (relative risk, 1.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.09-1.32) and reduced risks of small-for-gestational-age neonate (relative risk, 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.81-0.97) and neonatal death (relative risk, 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-0.65). When comparing relative risks in singleton vs twin pregnancies, there was sufficient evidence to suggest that twin pregnancies have a lower relative risk of cesarean delivery (P=.003), have sufficient adjustment for confounders, and have lower relative risks of admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (P=.005), stillbirths (P=.002), and neonatal death (P=.001) than singleton pregnancies. CONCLUSION In both singleton and twin pregnancies, gestational diabetes mellitus was associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. In twin pregnancies, gestational diabetes mellitus may have a milder effect on some adverse perinatal outcomes and may be associated with a lower risk of neonatal death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perinatal outcomes vary for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The precise factors beyond glycemic status that may refine GDM diagnosis remain unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of potential precision markers for GDM. METHODS Systematic literature searches were performed in PubMed and EMBASE from inception to March 2022 for studies comparing perinatal outcomes among women with GDM. We searched for precision markers in the following categories: maternal anthropometrics, clinical/sociocultural factors, non-glycemic biochemical markers, genetics/genomics or other -omics, and fetal biometry. We conducted post-hoc meta-analyses of a subset of studies with data on the association of maternal body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) with offspring macrosomia or large-for-gestational age (LGA). RESULTS A total of 5905 titles/abstracts were screened, 775 full-texts reviewed, and 137 studies synthesized. Maternal anthropometrics were the most frequent risk marker. Meta-analysis demonstrated that women with GDM and overweight/obesity vs. GDM with normal range BMI are at higher risk of offspring macrosomia (13 studies [n = 28,763]; odds ratio [OR] 2.65; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.91, 3.68), and LGA (10 studies [n = 20,070]; OR 2.23; 95% CI 2.00, 2.49). Lipids and insulin resistance/secretion indices were the most studied non-glycemic biochemical markers, with increased triglycerides and insulin resistance generally associated with greater risk of offspring macrosomia or LGA. Studies evaluating other markers had inconsistent findings as to whether they could be used as precision markers. CONCLUSIONS Maternal overweight/obesity is associated with greater risk of offspring macrosomia or LGA in women with GDM. Pregnancy insulin resistance or hypertriglyceridemia may be useful in GDM risk stratification. Future studies examining non-glycemic biochemical, genetic, other -omic, or sociocultural precision markers among women with GDM are warranted.

What is the "cost" of reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus - risk factors for perinatal complications in a retrospective cohort of pregnant women with GDM. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2022; 22:654. [PMID: 35986350 PMCID: PMC9392248 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-022-04980-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a frequent pregnancy complication, affecting the maternal and neonatal health. The new diagnostic strategy for GDM, proposed by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups in 2010 and World Health Organization in 2013, raised hope to reduce perinatal complications. The purpose of the study was to compare risk factors influencing maternal and foetal outcomes in a group of pregnant women diagnosed with GDM, and in a group of pregnant women without GDM, regardless of the adopted diagnostic criteria. Also, the aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of risk factors on perinatal results and the "cost" of reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with GDM. METHODS It was a retrospective study based on the analysis of births given after 37 weeks of pregnancy at the 2nd Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Warsaw Medical University during the years 2013 to 2015. All pregnant women had a 75 g OGTT between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy. The study compared risk factors for perinatal complications in 285 GDM patients and in 202 randomly selected women without GDM. The impact of selected risk factors on perinatal outcomes was analysed. RESULTS Both the diagnosis of GDM and maternal BMI prior to pregnancy, significantly modified the risk of excessive and insufficient weight gain during pregnancy. The parameters significantly influencing the risk of the composite adverse maternal outcome were the maternal abdominal circumference [OR: 1.08 (1.04; 1.11)] and multiparity, which reduced the risk by almost half [OR: 0.47 (0.30; 0.75)]. The maternal abdominal circumference before the delivery was a strong factor correlating with the occurrence of perinatal complications in both the mother and the foetus in the entire cohort. A circumference over 100 cm increased the risk of at least one maternal complication (increased blood loss, soft tissue injury, pre-eclampsia) by almost 40% (OR 1.38, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS No differences were found in maternal and foetal outcomes in GDM and non-GDM women except gestational weight gain below Institute of Medicine recommendations. The only "cost" of reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM patients seems to be lowering gestational weight gain, the future impact of which on GDM pregnant population should be assessed. The maternal abdominal circumference measured before delivery not the severity of carbohydrate intolerance, remained the main predictor for significant perinatal complications.

Abstract
A balanced communication between the mother, placenta and foetus is crucial to reach a successful pregnancy. Several windows of exposure to environmental toxins are present during pregnancy. When the women metabolic status is affected by a disease or environmental toxin, the foetus is impacted and may result in altered development and growth. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease of pregnancy characterised by abnormal glucose metabolism affecting the mother and foetus. This disease of pregnancy associates with postnatal consequences for the child and the mother. The whole endogenous and exogenous environmental factors is defined as the exposome. Endogenous insults conform to the endo-exposome, and disruptors contained in the immediate environment are the ecto-exposome. Some components of the endo-exposome, such as Selenium, vitamins D and B12, adenosine, and a high-fat diet, and ecto-exposome, such as the heavy metals Arsenic, Mercury, Lead and Copper, and per- and polyfluoroakyl substances, result in adverse pregnancies, including an elevated risk of GDM or gestational diabesity. The impact of the exposome on the human placenta's vascular physiology and function in GDM and gestational diabesity is reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited study that has conducted a review investigating the clinical effects of vitamin and omega-3 fatty acid co-supplementation on blood glucose in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Therefore, in order to provide new evidence-based medical evidence for clinical treatment, we undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effectiveness and safety of vitamin and omega-3 fatty acid co-supplementation on blood glucose in women with GDM. METHODS This protocol was written following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement guidelines. We will conduct systematic reviews and meta-analyses to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving vitamin and omega-3 fatty acid co-supplementation on GDM in electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library up to June 2021. Exclusion criteria include observational studies, non-RCTs, review articles, studies with a sample size <50, and studies with insufficient outcome data. The primary outcomes include fasting glucose and insulin. Secondary outcomes are evaluated in a homeostasis model of insulin resistance, total antioxidant capacity, triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, preterm birth and macrosomia over 4 kg. RESULTS The review will add to the existing literature by showing compelling evidence and improved guidance in clinic settings. REGISTRATION NUMBER 10.17605/OSF.IO/NSW54.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an obstetric disorder affecting approximately 10% of pregnancies. The four high-fat, high-sucrose (HFHS) mouse model emulates GDM in lean women. Dams are fed a HFHS diet 1 week prior to mating and throughout gestation resulting in inadequate insulin response to glucose in mid-late pregnancy. The offspring of HFHS dams have increased adiposity, thus, we hypothesized that maternal metabolic alterations during lean GDM would compromise ovarian function in offspring both basally and in response to a control or HFHS diet in adulthood. Briefly, DLPL were lean dams and control diet pups; DLPH were lean dams and HFHS pups; DHPL were HFHS dams and control diet pups; and DHPH were HFHS dams and HFHS pups. A HFHS challenge in the absence of maternal GDM (DLPL vs. DLPH) increased 3 and decreased 30 ovarian proteins. Maternal GDM in the absence of a dietary stress (DLPL vs. DHPL) increased abundance of 4 proteins and decreased abundance of 85 proteins in the offspring ovary. Finally, 87 proteins increased, and 4 proteins decreased in offspring ovaries due to dietary challenge and exposure to maternal GDM in utero (DLPL vs. DHPH). Canopy FGF signaling regulator 2, deleted in azoospermia-associated protein 1, septin 7, and serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 were altered across multiple offspring groups. Together, these findings suggest a possible impact on fertility and oocyte quality in relation to GDM exposure in utero as well as in response to a western diet in later life.

Abstract
PURPOSE Preterm delivery (PTD) represents the leading cause of neonatal death and disability. Among risk factors for PTD, maternal obesity (MO) is becoming an ever more relevant condition in developed countries, although the mechanisms relating this condition to higher risk of PTD is not clear. Aim of this narrative review is to summarize evidences from clinical and translational research showing how MO might negatively impact on pregnancy and neonatal outcomes, particularly, by increasing the risk of PTD. METHODS We performed comprehensive review of the literature in PubMed and Google Scholar databases for studies from 1998 to 2018 linking MO to PTD and inflammation. RESULTS Chronic inflammatory status associated to increased synthesis of adipokines and cytokines from fat tissue has been shown in obesity. Obese women have a higher risk of both spontaneous and medically induced PTD. In about 50% of cases of spontaneous PTD, an infection-induced chorion amnionitis can be detected while in the remaining 50% a sterile inflammatory response has been described. Activation of uterine innate immunity system in intra-amniotic cavity and in chorioamniotic membranes might represent the missing link between MO and the pathogenesis of PTD. CONCLUSION Tissue inflammation might represent the pathogenic link between MO and increased occurrence of PTD. The achievement of pre-pregnancy normal maternal weight and body mass index is a fundamental aim of public health to reduce the incidence of PTD and get optimal reproductive outcomes.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease of pregnancy that is associated with d-glucose intolerance and foeto-placental vascular dysfunction. GMD causes mitochondrial dysfunction in the placental endothelium and trophoblast. Additionally, GDM is associated with reduced placental oxidative phosphorylation due to diminished activity of the mitochondrial F0F1-ATP synthase (complex V). This phenomenon may result from a higher generation of reactive superoxide anion and nitric oxide. Placental mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy work in concert to maintain cell homeostasis and are vital mechanisms securing the efficient generation of ATP, whose demand is higher in pregnancy, ensuring foetal growth and development. Additional factors disturbing placental ATP synthase activity in GDM include pre-gestational maternal obesity or overweight, intracellular pH, miRNAs, fatty acid oxidation, and foetal (and 'placental') sex. GDM is also associated with maternal and foetal hyperinsulinaemia, altered circulating levels of adiponectin and leptin, and the accumulation of extracellular adenosine. Here, we reviewed the potential interplay between these molecules or metabolic conditions on the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in the foeto-placental unit in GDM pregnancies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aims to analyze adverse fetal or neonatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes, including fetal death, preterm deliveries, birthweight, neonatal morbidity and mortality, as well as the synergic effect of concomitant pregnancy risk factors and poor obstetric outcomes, as advanced maternal age, maternal obesity and pre-eclampsia in their worsening. METHODS The present cohort retrospective study included all pregnant women with gestational diabetes, with surveillance and childbirth at the Hospital da Senhora da Oliveira during the years of 2017 and 2018. The data were collected from the medical electronic records registered in health informatic programs Sclinico and Obscare, and statistical simple and multivariate analysis was done using IBM SPSS Statistics. RESULTS The study participants included 301 pregnant women that contributed to 7.36% of the total institution childbirths of the same years, in a total of 300 live births. It was analyzed the influence of pre-eclampsia coexistence in neonatal morbidity (p = 0.004), in the occurrence of newborns of low and very low birthweight (p < 0.01) and in preterm deliveries (p < 0.01). The influence of maternal obesity (p = 0.270; p = 0.992; p = 0.684) and of advanced maternal age in these 3 outcomes was also analyzed (p = 0,806; p = 0.879; p = 0.985).Using a multivariate analysis, the only models with statistic significance to predict the three neonatal outcomes included only pre-eclampsia (p = 0.04; p < 0.01; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Only coexistence of pre-eclampsia showed an association with adverse neonatal outcomes (neonatal morbidity, newborns of low and very low birthweight and preterm deliveries) and can be used as a predictor of them in women with gestational diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction: Chronic diseases in the United States are the leading drivers of disability, death, and health care costs. In women of reproductive age (WRA), chronic disease and related risk factors can also affect fertility and reproductive health outcomes. This analysis of trends from 2011 to 2017 adds additional indicators and updates an analysis covering 2001-2009. Methods: Data from the 2011-2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were analyzed for 265,544 WRA (18-44 years). To assess trends in 12 chronic conditions and related risk factors, we calculated annual prevalence estimates and adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) with predicted marginals accounting for age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, and health care coverage. Results: From 2011 to 2017, prevalence decreased for current smoking (20.7%-15.9%; p < 0.001), gestational diabetes (3.1%-2.7%; p = 0.003), and high cholesterol (19.0%-16.7%; p < 0.001); prevalence increased for depression (20.4%-24.9%; p < 0.001) and obesity (24.6%-27.6%; p < 0.001). After adjustment, in 2017 WRA were more likely to report asthma (APR = 1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.11), physical inactivity (APR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.04-1.12), obesity (APR = 1.15; 95% CI = 1.11-1.19), and depression (APR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.25-1.34) compared with 2011. They were less likely to report high cholesterol (APR = 0.89; 95% CI = 0.85-0.94) in 2015 compared with 2011, and current smoking (APR = 0.86; 95% CI = 0.82-0.89) and gestational diabetes (APR = 0.84; 95% CI = 0.75-0.94) in 2017 compared with 2011. Conclusions: Some chronic conditions and related risk factors improved, whereas others worsened over time. Research clarifying reasons for these trends may support the development of targeted interventions to promote improvements, potentially preventing adverse reproductive outcomes and promoting long-term health.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes (GD). Subjects and methods Retrospective multicenter study using data from the Portuguese National Register. We included women with GD with a singleton pregnancy. GD diagnosis was according to the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group criteria. Women were divided into groups according to their pre-pregnancy BMI: < 18.5 kg/m2 (underweight), ≥ 18.5 and < 25.0 kg/m2 (normal weight), ≥ 25 and < 30 kg/m2 (overweight) and ≥ 30 kg/m2 (obese). Results We included 3,103 pregnant women with GD, 29.6% (n = 918) were overweight and 27.3% (n = 846) were obese. Compared to normal weight, the overweight and obese groups had a higher percentage of gestational hypertension (4.0% and 8.5% vs. 2.1%), cesarean delivery (32.8% and 41.3% vs. 27.9%), macrosomia (3.9% and 6.7% vs. 2.4%), and large for gestational age (LGA) newborns (8.3% and 13.5% vs. 6.0%). Obesity increased the risk of gestational hypertension (OR 4.5, p < 0.001), preeclampsia (OR 1.9, p = 0.034), cesarean delivery (OR 2.0, p < 0.001), macrosomia (OR 3.1, p < 0.001) and LGA (OR 2.3, p < 0.001). Conclusion In pregnant women with GD, pregnancy complications increase with pre-pregnancy BMI. In obese women, appropriate diet and counseling prior to gestation and more aggressive medical intervention during pregnancy are needed in order to prevent macrosomic and LGA newborns and to reduce maternal complications.

Abstract
AIMS Gestational diabetes (GDM) is often accompanied by maternal overweight. Our aim was to evaluate the separate and concomitant effects of GDM and maternal overweight/obesity on perinatal outcomes. METHODS We used the Finnish Medical Birth Register to identify all 24,577 women with a singleton pregnancy who delivered in 2009 in Finland and underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Women were divided into groups according to the result of OGTT (GDM/no GDM) and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI): normal weight (≤24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2), and obese (≥30.0 kg/m2). Primary outcomes included macrosomia, caesarean delivery, and treatment at neonatal ward. Normal weight women without GDM constituted the reference group. RESULTS Compared to reference group, overweight or obese women without GDM had an increased risk of macrosomia [odds ratio adjusted for age, parity, smoking and socio-economic status (aOR)1.18 (95% CI 1.09-1.28) and 1.50 (95% CI 1.19-1.88)], and caesarean delivery [aORs 1.17 (95% CI 1.07-1.28) and 1.52 (95% CI 1.37-1.69)], respectively. In normal weight GDM women the risk of macrosomia [aOR 1.17 (95% CI 0.85-1.62)] and caesarean delivery [aOR 1.10 (95% CI 0.96-1.27)] was not significantly increased as compared to normal weight women without GDM. GDM increased the risk of treatment at neonatal ward in all BMI categories and maternal obesity without GDM was also a risk factor for treatment at neonatal ward. Interaction p values between BMI and GDM on these outcomes were <0.001. CONCLUSIONS Maternal overweight and obesity without GDM increased the risk of macrosomia and caesarean delivery when compared to the reference group. These risks were amplified when overweight/obesity was accompanied by GDM. Obesity without GDM was a risk factor for treatment at neonatal ward; GDM increased this risk in all BMI categories. Our results suggest that especially maternal obesity should be considered as a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes and GDM further amplifies this risk.

Abstract
Aim: To assess the trend of the pregravid body mass index (BMI), pregnancy weight gain, and BMI gain in singleton pregnancies delivered at ≥38 completed weeks during the last decade.Materials and methods: We used data from a population-based dataset for the period of 2006-2015. Linear regression was used to assess the relationship between BMI, pregnancy weight gain, and BMI change over time.Results: A total of 70,866 women were included and stratified as primiparous and multiparous. The average BMI in the primiparous women increased 0.52 kg/m2 in the past decade, increasing for 0.05 kg/m2 every year. The average pregnancy weight gain in this group decreased in this period by 0.7 kg, consequently lowering for 0.07 kg per year, the average BMI change during pregnancy decreased overall by 0.26 kg/m2 (0.026 kg/m2/year). However, in multiparous women, the average pregravid BMI did not change over time, but the average pregnancy weight gain decreased by 0.21 kg (0.021 kg/year), and the average BMI change decreased for 0.10 kg/m2.Conclusions: Our study showed that the pregravid BMI is increasing in the pregnant primiparous women, but the BMI gain, as well as the pregnancy weight gain, decreased irrespective of parity. Given that the range of differences is not clinically significant, we conclude that pregravid BMI, pregnancy weight gain, and BMI change during pregnancy did not change in the last decade.

Abstract
Objective: To compare outcomes of pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in underweight women with those of normal pregravid BMI.Methods: We used a population-based dataset to identify singleton pregnancies complicated by GDM in underweight and normal weight women.Results: Among women with GDM, we identified 301 and 6494 women with pregravid underweight and normal BMI. Underweight women were younger, more often nulliparous, and had lower birth weight (p < .05) and lower incidence of birth weight > 4000 g (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.1, 0.6) as compared to normal weight GDM women.Conclusions: It appears that pregravid maternal weight rather than GDM might be responsible for larger babies. A dose-response relationship should be established, however.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of omega-3 fatty acid to treat gestational diabetes remains controversial. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the influence of omega-3 fatty acid versus placebo on gestational diabetes. METHODS We search PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through March 2018 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of omega-3 fatty acid versus placebo on gestational diabetes. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effect model. RESULTS Five RCTs are included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with control group for gestational diabetes, omega-3 fatty acid can significantly reduce fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (mean difference (MD) = -4.91; 95% confidence interval (CI) = -8.16 to -1.66; p = .003), homeostatic model of assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, MD = -0.99; 95% CI = -1.61 to -0.37; p = .002), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, MD = -1.43; 95% CI = -2.54 to -0.31; p = .01), but has no remarkable influence on preterm delivery (RR = 1.61; 95% CI = 0.36-7.16; p = .53), gestational age (MD = 0.09; 95% CI = -0.01 to 0.20; p = .08), macrosomia (RR = 0.64; 95% CI = 0.26-1.62; p = .3), newborn weight (MD = 3.37; 95% CI = -15.75 to 22.50; p = .73), and 5-min Apgar score (MD = 0; 95% CI = -0.02 to 0.02; p = .92). CONCLUSIONS Omega-3 fatty acids is associated with significantly reduced FPG, HOMA-IR, and hs-CRP in patients with gestational diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the independent risk of neonatal morbidity between the offspring of obese and nonobese women without hypertension or diabetes. METHODS This is a secondary analysis of a prospective single-center cohort study of singleton deliveries at or beyond 37 weeks of gestation from 2010 to 2014. Women with diabetes (pregestational or gestational) and hypertensive disorders were excluded. The primary outcomes were 1) a composite neonatal morbidity including death, mechanical ventilation, respiratory distress, meconium aspiration, suspected sepsis, confirmed sepsis, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, therapeutic hypothermia, or seizures; and 2) a composite of neonatal neurologic morbidity including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, therapeutic hypothermia, or seizures. The primary outcomes were compared between the offspring of obese (body mass index 30 or greater) and nonobese women. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Of 6,458 women without diabetes or hypertensive disorders, 3,311 (51%) were obese. After adjusting for race, neonates of obese patients were at significantly increased risk for the composite neonatal morbidity (9.2% vs 7.2%, adjusted OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.15-1.67) and neurologic neonatal morbidity (0.7% vs 0.3%, adjusted OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.22-6.65). Specifically, neonates of obese patients were more likely to have hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (0.5% vs 0.2%, adjusted OR 2.80, 95% CI 1.02-7.68), hypothermia treatment (0.6% vs 0.2%, adjusted OR 2.92 95% CI 1.17-7.30), and suspected sepsis (7.6% vs 5.8%, adjusted OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.18-1.79). CONCLUSION In patients who labor, maternal obesity is an independent risk factor for significant neonatal morbidity, even in the absence of hypertensive disorders or diabetes.

Abstract
Background This study was carried out to determine the effects of vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids co- supplementation on biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes (GDM) patients. Methods This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted among 120 GDM women. Participants were randomly divided into four groups to receive: 1) 1000 mg omega-3 fatty acids containing 180 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 120 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) twice a day + vitamin D placebo (n = 30); 2) 50,000 IU vitamin D every 2 weeks + omega-3 fatty acids placebo (n = 30); 3) 50,000 IU vitamin D every 2 weeks + 1000 mg omega-3 fatty acids twice a day (n = 30) and 4) vitamin D placebo + omega-3 fatty acids placebo (n = 30) for 6 weeks. Results Subjects who received vitamin D plus omega-3 fatty acids supplements compared with vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and placebo had significantly decreased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (−2.0 ± 3.3 vs. -0.8 ± 4.4, −1.3 ± 2.4 and +0.9 ± 2.7 mg/L, respectively, P = 0.008), malondialdehyde (−0.5 ± 0.5 vs. −0.2 ± 0.5, −0.3 ± 0.9 and +0.5 ± 1.4 μmol/L, respectively, P < 0.001), and increased total antioxidant capacity (+92.1 ± 70.1 vs. +55.1 ± 123.6, +88.4 ± 95.2 and +1.0 ± 90.8 mmol/L, respectively, P = 0.001) and glutathione (+95.7 ± 86.7 vs. +23.0 ± 62.3, +30.0 ± 66.5 and −7.8 ± 126.5 μmol/L, respectively, P = 0.001). In addition, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids co-supplementation, compared with vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and placebo, resulted in lower incidences of newborns’ hyperbilirubinemiain (P = 0.037) and newborns’ hospitalization (P = 0.037). Conclusion Overall, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids co-supplementation for 6 weeks among GDM women had beneficial effects on some biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress and pregnancy outcomes.
