Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the development or deterioration of nephropathy and retinopathy over time is not affected by pregnancy in women with pregestational type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Study design: Prospective, observational study of nephropathy and retinopathy follow-up during pregnancy and in a subsequent period of 2 years in a group of pregnant women with T1DM (study group) that we compared with pair-matched non-pregnant women with T1DM (control group) who underwent similar intensive follow-up.
Results: The rate of renal microvascular complications was similar at entry, 17.4% (4/23) in the study group and 21.7% (5/23) in the control group. At the last visit, both groups had nephropathy rates of 17.4% (4/23) and paired p-value of 1.00. Similarly, the rate of retinal microvascular complications of any grade was similar in both groups and remained so at the last follow-up examination.
Conclusion: Pregnancy per se does not appear to increase the risk for the development of, or the acceleration of the progression of retinopathy and nephropathy during a follow-up of at least 2 years in relatively healthy T1DM patients. This information is important for counseling young women with T1DM who are considering becoming pregnant.
Key points: · Retinopathy and nephropathy are major complications of T1DM.. · Pregnancy per se does not appear to cause major microvascular complications in T1DM.. · Pregnancy per se does not appear to aggravate retinopathy in T1DM..
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Perinatology is an international, peer-reviewed, and indexed journal publishing 14 issues a year dealing with original research and topical reviews. It is the definitive forum for specialists in obstetrics, neonatology, perinatology, and maternal/fetal medicine, with emphasis on bridging the different fields.
The focus is primarily on clinical and translational research, clinical and technical advances in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment as well as evidence-based reviews. Topics of interest include epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and management of maternal, fetal, and neonatal diseases. Manuscripts on new technology, NICU set-ups, and nursing topics are published to provide a broad survey of important issues in this field.
All articles undergo rigorous peer review, with web-based submission, expedited turn-around, and availability of electronic publication.
The American Journal of Perinatology is accompanied by AJP Reports - an Open Access journal for case reports in neonatology and maternal/fetal medicine.
