    (Düzce Üniversitesi, 2019) Kaya, Raziye; Karaçam, Zekiye
    Aim: This study wasconducted with the aim of investigating the incidence of gestational diabetesmellitus and maternal-infant health.Material and Methods: The study was performed as analytical-cross sectional with 491 womenwho had given birth to their babies at İzmir Tepecik Training and ResearchHospital between June 2015 and September 2016. Data were obtained by means of aquestionnaire by the researcher. In the analysis of the data, descriptivestatistics, Chi-square, Student-t and Mann-Whitney U tests were used.Results: It wasdetermined that 8.1% women who had participated the study was diagnosed withgestational diabetes. It was found out that the prevalence of gestationaldiabetes was statistically and significantly seen higher between 25-45 ages (c2=18.232; p lt;0.001) and also in secondary obesepeople (c2=12.457; p=0.014). In addition, it was established that gestational diabetes was morefrequently observed in women with diabetes history in their previouspregnancies (7.5% vs. 1.1%; c2=5.801; p=0.016) and family history (75.0% vs.22.0%; c2=53.379; p lt;0.001) and in those with over4000 gr baby delivery (12.5% vs. 2.2%; c2=9.878; p=0.002) and these differences werestatistically significant. It was seen that women with gestational diabetes(27.5%) were more hospitalized than those without gestational diabetes (8.9%) (c2=11.773; p lt;0.001). It was also identifiedthat the newborns of women with gestational diabetes had higher body weight(3345.88±588.43) and their average chest girth (34.03±1.61) and thesedifferences were statistically important (respectively t=2.119; p=0.035 andt=2.662; p=0.009). Conclusions: It was understood in this study that gestational diabetes rate was highand this situation increased hospitalization rate during pregnancy andanthropometric measurements of babies. Health professionals should inform allpregnant women about gestational diabetes including those with high gestationaldiabetes risk, provide screening test for early diagnosis, teach healthy lifestyle behaviour to women diagnosed with diabetes and in this way, they cancontribute to maternal-infant health.
