Brief Summary:
Pregnancies complicated by diabetes and mild gestational hyperglycemia are associated with increased perinatal and maternal complications. The most serious maternal complication is the risk of developing type 2 diabetes after 10-12 years of the delivery. Perinatal complications include fetal macrosomia with consequent increased risk of obstetrical trauma and hypoxia/asphyxia, high rates of cesarean section, respiratory distress syndrome, and metabolic disorders at birth. Regardless of the diagnosis of diabetes and mild gestational hyperglycemia, the perinatal outcome is directly related to maternal metabolic control. For the tight control of blood glucose, pregnant women are treated as home care (outpatient) or hospital care. Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and safety of home versus hospital care of gestational diabetes and mild gestational hyperglycemia.
