Diabetes and pregnancy study (DAPSY): a 10-year single-center cohort study of pregnancies affected by diabetes.

Purpose: The aim of our study was to investigate to what degree clinical characteristics can contribute to incidence and structure of pregnancy and childbirth complications in women with diabetes, and to reveal key risk factors for adverse outcomes.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study from January 2008 through December 2017, including 3069 singleton pregnancies, affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D, n = 498), type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 214), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM, n = 2357).

Results: More than 10 years duration of T1D associated with increased risk for preterm birth (RR 2.

Prediction of preeclampsia based on maternal serum endoglin level in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus.

Purpose: To evaluate the level of soluble endoglin (sEng) in pregnant women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (DM) and to assess its predictive value for preeclampsia development.

Methods: Ninety pregnant women were enrolled in the study forming five comparison groups: type 1 DM (not planned, n = 20; planned, n = 20), type 2 DM (diet, n = 15; insulin therapy, n = 20), and the control group (n = 15). The primary outcome was clinically confirmed preeclampsia.

Placental expression of endoglin, placental growth factor, leptin, and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 in diabetic pregnancy and pre-eclampsia.

Objective: To evaluate a level of expression of endoglin (Eng), leptin (Lep), placental growth factor (PlGF), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1α) in placenta among women with pre-eclampsia and diabetes mellitus (DM), considering the method of glycemia correction and preconception care.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 124 women were divided into following groups: type 1 DM ( = 40), type 2DM ( = 31), gestational DM ( = 33), pre-eclampsia without DM (PE) ( = 10) and the control group ( = 10).

Time and mode of delivery in diabetic pregnancy: a review.

The review presents some renewed data on the problem of optimal time and modes of delivery for women with various types of diabetes mellitus (DM 1 and 2, gestational diabetes). The necessity of making the universal delivery strategy algorithm for women with DM comes out of adverse outcomes high frequency, where the main cases are fetal macrosomia, fetal shoulder dystocia and perinatal mortality. Despite significant interest for this issue, there is still no common delivery tactics in the world for pregnant women with carbohydrate metabolism disorders.

Maternal serum nitrotyrosine, 8-isoprostane and total antioxidant capacity levels in pre-gestational or gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To evaluate serum concentration of 8-isoprostane, nitrotyrosine (NT), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus (DM) considering preconception planning and method of diabetes correction in 11-14 and 30-34 weeks.

Materials And Methods: The study included 130 women: T1DM (n = 40), T2DM (n = 35), gestational diabetes (GDM, n = 40) and the control group (n = 15). The serum concentrations of NT, 8-isoprostane, and TAC were measured by ELISA methods.
