Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) during the second and third trimesters impact pregnancy outcomes for women not experiencing hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP).
- It analyzed data from 1,057 pregnant women, revealing that higher HbA1c levels in either trimester are linked to an increased risk of hypertensive disorders and larger babies at birth.
- The findings highlight that a rise in HbA1c levels correlates with a nearly twofold increase in the risk of hypertensive disorders and a significant chance of delivering larger-than-average babies, emphasizing the need for monitoring HbA1c in pregnant women without HIP.
Background: Pregnant women faced great challenges and psychological and physiological changes of varying degrees during the omicron epidemic outbreak. It is important to recognize the potential impact of these challenges on the mental health of pregnant women and to provide appropriate resources and support to mitigate their effects.
Method: By using the convenience sampling approach, a total of 401 pregnant women from two hospitals of different grades in two cities were included in the survey.

Background: Medical staff in China faced great challenges and psychological and physiological changes of varying degrees during the omicron epidemic outbreak. It is important to recognize the potential impact of these challenges on the mental health of medical staff and to provide appropriate resources and support to mitigate their effects.
Methods: A total of 354 medical staff in two obstetrics and gynecology hospitals of different grades were included in this survey using convenience sampling.
Background: To investigate the influence of HbA1c level and GWG on pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with GDM.
Methods: A total of 2,171 pregnant women with GDM were retrospectively included and categorized as follows: (1) normal (HbA1c <6%) and elevated (HbA1c ≥6%) HbA1c groups according to the HbA1c level in the second trimester, and (2) inadequate, appropriate, and excessive GWG groups according to the IOM guidelines.
Results: In pregnant women with GDM, advanced age and high pre-pregnancy BMI were high-risk factors for elevated HbA1c.
