Pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with abnormal glucose challenge test

Some studies have shown that pregnant women with abnormal glucose challenge test (GCT) and normal oral glucose challenge test (OGTT) have the chance of adverse pregnancy outcomes including macrosomia، pre-eclampsia and increase of cesarean section rate. This study was performed to determine the pregnancy outcomes in women with abnormal glucose challenge test. This case –control study was done on 60 pregnant women with abnormal GCT (more than 130 mg/dl) and normal OGTT and 67 pregnant women with normal GCT (less than 130 mg/dl) in Kermanshah، Iran during September 2010-March 2011. Delivery with Vacum، polyhydroamnus، pre-eclampsia pyelonephritis and low birth weight significantly was higher in cases than controls (P<0. 05). But there was a non significant difference in stillbirth، neonatal abnormality، neonatal respiratory distress and shoulder dystocia between case and control groups. Polyhydramnious، pre eclampsia and pyelonephrities and low birth weight are more frequent in pregnant women with abnormal GCT and normal OGTT in compare to pregnant women with normal GCT.
