281-OR: Neonatal Outcomes in Early and Incident Gestational Diabetes Mellitus—Are They Normalized with Treatment from 24–28 Weeks’ Gestation?

Abstract

Aim: To compare neonatal outcomes between women with early GDM (eGDM: diagnosed<20 weeks’ gestation), incident GDM (iGDM: diagnosed ≥ 24 weeks’ gestation) and normoglycemia Methods: Pregnant women with GDM risk factors were enrolled <20 weeks’ gestation into an eGDM treatment trial across 17 sites in Australia, India, Europe. Women undertook a 2-h 75g oral glucose tolerance test on entry & at 24-28 weeks’ gestation. GDM was defined by WHO 2013 criteria. Logistic regression compared outcomes between women with eGDM, iGDM and normoglycemia adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI), site, smoking status, parity and tertiary qualifications. Women randomized to receive eGDM treatment were excluded from this analysis. Results: Baseline characteristics differed by age, BMI, parity and glycemia across the 3211 women (Table 1). Similar proportions of eGDM and iGDM women received pharmacotherapy. eGDM group gestational weight gain was lower; eGDM and iGDM neonatal outcomes were similar; neonatal intensive care unit admission and respiratory distress were higher in offspring of eGDM than normoglycemic women. Conclusions: Adverse neonatal outcomes are increased in pregnancies complicated by eGDM with delayed treatment. Disclosure D.Simmons: Consultant; Sanofi, Speaker's Bureau; Abbott Diabetes.
