Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a well-established risk factor for fetal macrosomia. A significant number of patients with GDM also suffer from obesity, a factor associated with fetal macrosomia. An important question is whether GDM is independently associated with fetal macrosomia, or whether this relationship is merely the result of maternal obesity acting as a confounder. In this review of the literature, we attempt to further elucidate the relationship between GDM, maternal obesity, and fetal macrosomia.
妊娠期糖尿病(GDM)是公认的胎儿巨大儿的危险因素。大量GDM患者也患有肥胖症,而肥胖是与胎儿巨大儿相关的一个因素。一个重要的问题是,GDM是否与胎儿巨大儿独立相关,或者这种关系仅仅是作为混杂因素的母体肥胖的结果。在这篇文献综述中,我们试图进一步阐明GDM、母体肥胖和胎儿巨大儿之间的关系。
