Planned birth at or near term for improving health outcomes for pregnant women with gestational diabetes and their infants.

CONCLUSIONS: There is limited evidence to inform implications for practice. The available data are not of high quality and lack power to detect possible important differences in either benefit or harm. There is an urgent need for high-quality trials evaluating the effectiveness of planned birth at or near term gestation for women with gestational diabetes compared with an expectant approach.
