ABSTRACT

AIMS: We investigated the role of pregnancy planning in improving glycemic control and its potential impact on the overall pregnancy outcomes, obstetric outcomes, and perinatal well-being in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM). METHODS: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted, including all pregnant women with PGDM treated in our center 2012 and 2018. RESULTS: Among 425 participants, 26.6 % had planned pregnancies. The lowest rate of pregnancy planning was observed in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (6.5 %). Women with planned pregnancies had lower BMI. Both pregestational HbA1c levels (6.66 % vs. 7.61 %, p < 0.001) and HbA1c levels at the first prenatal visit (6.39 % vs. 7.24 %, p < 0.001) were significantly lower in the planned pregnancy group. These differences persisted until the end of pregnancy (6.09 % vs. 6.47 %, p = 0.006). Although better glycemic control was associated with a non-significant decrease in fetuses with birth weight over 4000 g (18.1 % vs. 22.1 %) and 4500 g (3.0 % vs. 4.2 %), we did not find significant effects on other morbidity events, maternal outcomes, or the cesarean section rate. CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy planning in PGDM women improved glycemic control and HbA1c levels. Limited impact on obstetric and perinatal outcomes suggests scope for other focused interventions to optimize maternal and fetal health.

ABSTRACT

Differentiated thyroid carcinoma is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers during pregnancy, second only to breast cancer. Therefore, it would be of value to determine if there are pregnancy-related physiological effects that impact long-term prognosis for patients with this disease. Hormone effects attributable to ß-human chorionic gonadotropin and estrogens seem particularly likely. We present a case of a 40-year-old woman with thyroid follicular carcinoma with accompanying bone metastases. The cancer was discovered immediately after childbirth and the woman became pregnant again when the disease was in an advanced stage. We describe the cancer evolution and present the maternal and fetal results. Pregnancy in women with advanced thyroid carcinoma could affect long-term prognosis. However, more studies are needed to evaluate this hypothesis. In this unique case, there were two pregnancies and the second occurred in an advanced state of the disease. We evaluated how these pregnancies could affect short-term prognosis of the disease.
