Comparative differences in metabolic, mental health and perinatal outcomes of women with gestational diabetes in Ghana and Switzerland: the G-MUM study
Women in the GC had worse metabolic outcomes but improved mental health during pregnancy. In this context, LGA and neonatal hospitalisations were higher, independent of HbA1c and pre-pregnancy BMI. Our results suggest the need for specialized GDM clinics in Ghana to improve metabolic and perinatal outcomes in women with GDM.
