Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is high blood sugar during pregnancy that typically resolves post-delivery; this study explored its impacts on mothers and newborns in resource-limited settings.
- Researchers used various statistical methods to evaluate data collected from 3459 women in five Amhara region hospitals, finding GDM mothers had a significantly higher cesarean section rate and their infants gained more weight during the first three months.
- Results indicated that GDM not only increases maternal pregnancy complications but also negatively affects newborns by lowering serum zinc and vitamin D levels while increasing their risk of infectious diseases.
Background: This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence, determinants of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and the survival of tuberculosis patients until drug-induced hepatitis.
Methods: Prospective cohort study design was implemented. The data were collected from September 2016 - May 2019.
