The Apgar score was evaluated in every neonate at the first and fifth minutes of life. No significant correlation was found between glucose concentration in amniotic fluid (GCAF) and gestational age. GCAF values were higher in the diabetic than in the normal group. Our results also show a significant inverse correlation (p |
