After delivery birth weights and route of deliveries were recorded and oral glucose challenge tests with 50 grams were viewed from records.<br />RESULTS: Mean age, gravida, parity, glucose challenge test (GCT), birth and maternal weights were 25.6±5.3, 1.9±1.5, 0.6±0.9, 105.9±26.9 mg/dl, 3235±469 gr, 75.04±12 kg respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between GCT result with maternal age, gravida and maternal weight (95% CI, r=0.334, p:0.001, r=0.300, p:0.001, r=0.201, p:0.003 respectively). A significant negative correlation with birth weight was found. (r=-0.167,p=0.007). GCT level between 120-140 mg/dl was found to be significantly associated with low birth weight (LBW) and values of 120-160 mg/dl were positive confounder for higher C/S rates.<br />CONCLUSION: In this study GCT results between 120-140 mg/dl were found to be risk factor for LBW after adjustment of other confounders and this value and higher values up to 160 mg/dl were positive confounders for C/S rates.</p> ER -
