Effects of gestational diabetes mellitus on time to delivery and pregnancy outcomes in full-term pregnancies with dinoprostone labor induction

摘要

Objective: To investigate the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on time to delivery and perinatal outcomes in full-term pregnancies underwent dinoprostone-induced labor. Methods: GDM patients that underwent labor induction with dinoprostone vaginal inserts were retrospectively recruited. Full-term pregnancies with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) that underwent labor induction at the same period were recruited as control. Time to delivery and perinatal outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 1555 pregnancies with 226 GDM and 1329 NGT were recruited. GDM pregnancies had older ages, lower gestational age, higher body mass index (BMI) and abortion history, and more multigravida than NGT pregnancies (P 0.05). Univariate analysis showed no significant difference in time to delivery and delivery rates between the two groups. However, after adjusted in a multivariate analysis model, the delivery rates of GDM women delivered within 12, 24, 36 or 48 h and those vaginally delivered within 12 or 36 h were significantly lower than those in the NGT group (P 0.05). Perinatal outcomes were clinically similar between the two groups. Conclusion: GDM did not affect the time to delivery, cesarean delivery and other perinatal outcomes in Chinese women underwent dinoprostone-induced labor. However, it may be associated with the lower rates of delivery within different time intervals.
