ABSTRACT
The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus by screening 25,997 pregnant women in Rajavithi Hospital during a two-year-period was 2.02 per cent. Of the 312 gestational diabetes patients available for the study, their mean age was 29 years. Risk factors included a BMI before pregnancy of more than 26 (26.5%), family history of diabetes mellitus (23.1%), history of abortion (14.4%), and history of fetal death in utero (3.2%). Macrosomia, congenital anomalies and cesarean delivery were found significantly more common in gestational diabetic patients compared to normal pregnancy.
