Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Our aim was to estimate the difference in birthweight and in placental weight in pregnancies with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes compared with pregnancies without diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: By using data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway during the years 2009-2017, we included 319 076 singleton pregnancies with delivery after the 21st week of pregnancy. We used linear regression analyses to estimate the difference in birthweight and in placental weight in grams (g) in pregnancies with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes, using pregnancies without diabetes as the reference. Adjustments were made for pregnancy duration and pre-pregnancy body mass index. RESULTS: In pregnancies without diabetes, mean crude birthweight was 3527 g (SD 552 g). The adjusted mean birthweight was 525 g (95% CI 502-548 g) higher in pregnancies with type 1 diabetes compared with pregnancies without diabetes. In pregnancies with type 2 diabetes, and pregnancies with gestational diabetes, birthweights were 192 g (95% CI 160-223 g) and 102 g (95% CI 93-110 g) higher, respectively. Mean crude placental weight was 664 g (SD 147 g) in pregnancies without diabetes. Compared with pregnancies without diabetes, the adjusted mean placental weight was 109 g (95% CI 101-116 g) higher in pregnancies with type 1 diabetes, 50 g (95% CI 39-60 g) higher in pregnancies with type 2 diabetes, and 31 g (95% CI 28-34 g) higher in pregnancies with gestational diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The increase in birthweight and in placental weight associated with maternal diabetes was most pronounced for type 1 diabetes, followed by type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
