Core Tip

Core Tip: This study analyzed the relationship between the age of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and mode of delivery and neonatal Apgar score. Pregnant women with GDM were divided into right age and older groups. Compared with the older group, the natural delivery rate in the right age group was higher, but the cesarean section rate was lower. Moreover, age, education level and premature rupture of membranes were associated with the adverse outcomes of mothers and infants. Age was related to the delivery mode and Apgar score of pregnant women with GDM.
