Maternal serum fructosamine levels and stillbirth: A case-control study of The Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network

CONCLUSION: Maternal fructosamine levels at the time of delivery were higher in women with stillbirth compared to live birth. Differences were substantial in women with diabetes, suggesting a potential benefit of glycemic control in women with diabetes during pregnancy. The small differences noted in women without diabetes likely do not justify routine screening in all cases of stillbirth.PMID:34529344 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.16922
