Bariatric Surgery, Gestational Diabetes and Perinatal Outcomes: A Population-Based Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the independent and combined effects of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in a population-based cohort study in New South Wales, Australia. Their findings revealed that women with both GDM and a history of MBS faced the highest risks for complications such as large-for-gestational-age infants, preterm birth, and neonatal hypoglycemia, highlighting the need for tailored antenatal care for this high-risk group.
