| Summary: | Background and Objectives: to evaluate the improvement of gestational diabetes (GDM) outcomes for mothers and their offspring, induced by education provided to women with GDM and health care team members (HCTM) associated with coordination between primary care centers (PCC) and highly complex maternity (HCM) activities.
Methods: Pregnant women with GDM that completed control visits from the first appointment until delivery were recruited into primary care units-high complexity maternity facilities (PCU-HCM) (2017 to 2019) in the cities of Corrientes and Buenos Aires: 263 women recruited during the first year were assigned to the control group (CG), while 432 women recruited during the second period to the Intervention group (IG). The CG received habitual gestational controls while those of the IG received an educational program targeted at patients and HCTM. Courses for the latter included standards of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of GDM, and systematic registry of clinical and metabolic indicators. They also included data on obstetric history, preeclampsia, gestation-induced hypertension, delivery method used, and newborn’s body weight. Other data recorded were: fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum cholesterol and triglycerides. |
