Abstract

INTRODUCTION. Gestational diabetes (GDM), which usually develops in the second half of pregnancy, has increased significantly in prevalence in the last 20 years. Current incidence rates are 1.7 to 15.7 percent, depending on ethnicity, maternal age, and diagnostic criteria. GDM can also cause various pregnancy complications, including increased prenatal and perinatal mortality, perinatal complications, and delayed neurodevelopment.

MATERIAL AND METHOD. An observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was carried out on 57 pregnant women between 20 and 30 out of 113 pregnant women of all ages to determine the maternal risks in this age group during 2022. Fifty-eight cases were studied.

RESULTS. The variables analyzed are present in Table 1, where adequate prenatal control. However, the number of cesarean sections is high, and the cases of preeclampsia as well, and as a maternal risk factor, obesity was high; hypovolemic shock was 28% unnecessary maternal risk regarding the rejection of any contraceptive method, which is understandable since they wanted to get pregnant again.

DISCUSSION. Two major maternal cardiometabolic disorders, hypertensive disorders in Pregnancy (HDP) (including preeclampsia) and gestational diabetes mellitus result in a significant disease burden for pregnant women worldwide. No global consensus has been reached on the diagnostic criteria for both disorders, making it difficult to assess the differences in their disease burden. However, both diseases show an uneven distribution. CONCLUSIONS.
