The article presents a study whose objective was to determine the rate of and indication for cesarean section for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) compared with glucose-tolerant women. From a consecutive series of women with GDM seen over a 9-year period for medical management, women who had a cesarean section were identified and the reason for the section determined from a review of the medical record. The section rate for women with GDM was higher at 19.8% than the 13.6% for glucose-tolerant women. In the health area of New South Wales, Australia, women with GDM do not have a higher section rate compared with glucose-tolerant women. The diagnosis of GDM was based on the recommendations of the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society criteria. |
