Gestational diabetes mellitus and COVID-19: results from the COVID-19-Related Obstetric and Neonatal Outcome Study (CRONOS)

Helmut J. Kleinwechter et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether gestational diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for adverse maternal and fetal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19. The results showed that gestational diabetes mellitus combined with preconceptional overweight or obesity independently increased the risk of severe course of COVID-19 in pregnant women.

Sorina Chelu et al.

Summary: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has a high impact on both mother and baby, and this study aims to determine its incidence in Romanian hospitals and explore the associated risk factors. The study found that the proportion of GDM births significantly increased during the COVID-19 period compared to the preCOVID-19 period. The years 2020-2021 were identified as a significant risk period for GDM births.
