Objective To investigate the effect of the interaction between gestational diabetes (GDM) and maternal body mass index (BMI) on the individual neonatal growth parameters.Design Retrospective cohort studySetting A tertiary maternity service in Sydney, Australia, between 2005 and 2009.Population A cohort of 8859 women.Methods Generalized linear models.Main Outcome MeasuresNeonatal growth parameters, represented by z-scores for infant birth weight, birth length and head circumference in GDM and non-GDM groups. Results Only GDM alone had an independent and positive effect on birth length (p=0.02) but not on birth weight or head circumference. In addition, in pregnancies complicated with GDM, the association between maternal weight and birth weight was significantly stronger (p |
