The interdependence of mid-trimester blood pressure and glucose levels in shaping fetal growth and neonatal outcomes: implications for risk–benefit assessment and co-management
Based on a large pregnancy cohort in China, this study revealed an interdependent association between maternal BP and glucose levels and their combined impact on the risk of SGA. It provided quantitative evidence of how this interdependence shapes the transition of risk patterns for SGA, neonatal complications, and LGA. These findings underscore the need for an integrated approach to co-managing BP and glucose levels during pregnancy.
