Popis:	The care of diabetic mothers and their progeny with modern techniques and methodology has led to a striking change in appearance and a marked decrease in mortality of 104 infants in our institution over the past decade. Now appropriate for gestational age infants (AGA) comprise approximately one half of these infants in contrast to one third previously. Mortality has fallen from 10% to 1.9%. A decrease in the incidence of hyaline membrane disease, hypoglucosemia, hypocalcemia, and neonatal asphyxia has accompanied these changes; yet, the incidence of malformations increased. Mortality and morbidity will be discussed in relation to gestational age and size of infants and maternal classification of disease. Determination of fetal age and condition and control of maternal diabetes and neonatal intensive care have been major responsible factors in achieving a mortality very near the total neonatal mortality.
