“…Most pregnant women, and hence fetuses (21: 61.6%) benefited from specialized follow-up, as well as the management of intercurrent acute health issues in order to reduce in utero and perinatal complications as much as possible [13][14][15][16][17][18]. Nevertheless, there was high rate of fetal distress (23.3%), with consequent increase in the rate of abortions (5.8%) and still births (5.8%), making a total death rate of 11.6%, which was quite high in this population [8].…”

“…It is through this phenomenon that high rates of abortion and stillbirths are recorded in GDM. This therefore shows a need for continuous antenatal follow-up of such fetuses and immediate assessment of neonates from mothers with GDM [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Nevertheless, mothers should be continuously monitored and reassured as well, to prevent complications due to stressful delivery and/or caesarean section [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

We carried out an observational study with cross-sectional design at the Yaoundé Central Hospital and the Yaoundé Gynaeco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital, which are two referral and university teaching hospitals in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This was a seven-month investigation from files of all women admitted with GDM and their babies from January 2018 to January 2020. Data on sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics were collected using a collection sheet. Data was then registered and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20. ResultsA total of 34 pregnant women with gestational diabetes were identified in both hospitals, out of 652 women admitted in the service during the same period. This corresponded to an incidence of 5.2% for GDM. The average GA at delivery was 37.7 weeks of gestation ±1.8. Most of these women (27: 79.2%) were being followed by both gynecologist and endocrinologist (21: 61.6%). All neonates were assessed and followed-up by pediatrician. Most deliveries were at term (20: 58.3%). The rate of caesarean delivery was 22 out of 34 deliveries (64.1%), and there were 20 live births (88.4%) (Table 1).

“…This is a condition which requires effective perinatal and deep neonatal assessments, given potential complications. More so, there was maternal obstetrical history of big babies, which was predisposing to macrosomia as well, and a contributing finding [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…Majority (73.3%) were managed with insulin. Age maturity, level of education, and reduced occupational stress due to self-employment might have accounted for the prompt diagnosis, early, regular, specialized follow-up and management of women in order to reduce perinatal complications [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as any degree of glucose intolerance, beginning or diagnosed during pregnancy for the first time. The global prevalence of GDM is reported to be as high as 20%. This is why we initiated the present study. The main objective of this survey was to investigate the epidemiological profile of women with GDM in two referral hospitals of Yaoundé, Cameroon. This was an observational study with descriptive longitudinal historical design, conducted at the Yaoundé Central Hospital (YCH) and the Yaoundé Gynaeco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital (YGOPH). The study period was from January 2018 to January 2020 and the duration of the investigation was 7 months. Data was analyzed using SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 20. A total of 34 pregnant women with GDM were identified out of 652. The overall prevalence of GDM was 5.2%. The mean age of these women was 31.8±4.4 years. Most women were multiparous (15: 44.0%). Majority (21: 61.6%) were followed by both gynecologist and endocrinologist. Known cardiovascular risk factors found were mainly smoking (34: 100%), low sports practice (20: 58%) and family history of diabetes (21: 61.1%), with first degree predominance 17 (80.5%). The first antenatal consultation (ANC) in average was at 12±2.5 weeks. Most women were symptomatic with cardinal syndrome comprising polyuria (32: 94.2%), polydipsia (22: 64.1%) and polyphagia (21: 61.6%). Majority (25: 73.3%) were managed with Insulin. GDM is prevalent and a major public health problem in our milieu. There is need for systematic screening to prevent adverse perinatal outcomes.
