Article Synopsis
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a notable increase in cases of precocious puberty among girls, prompting a study at a Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic in Brazil.
- The study compared 22 girls who started puberty during the pandemic to 33 who started before, examining various clinical and anthropometric factors.
- Findings revealed that girls who began puberty during the pandemic had higher weight Z-scores, lower ovarian volume, and shorter time intervals between parental notice and diagnosis of puberty, indicating a potential impact of the pandemic on puberty timing.

Objective: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a higher risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality, and its main complication is the occurrence of large for gestational age (LGA) newborns. The present study aims to characterize pregnant women with GDM and to identify factors associated with the occurrence of LGA newborns in this population.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed based on medical records of women whose prenatal care and delivery were performed at the Maternal and Child Unit of the Hospital Universitário of the Universidade Federal do Maranhão, state of Maranhão, Brazil.
