Pregnancy outcome in patients with pregestational and gestational diabetes attending Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa.

CONCLUSION: The audit demonstrated outcomes similar to those in the developed world, with major congenital malformations, unexplained stillbirths and PET accounting for the majority of perinatal deaths. Stricter control with the aim of achieving lower or normal HbA1c levels before conception may be the only intervention that could bring about change. PMID: 30182903 [PubMed - in process]
