BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with increased risk of fetal macrosomia and shoulder dystocia. [] Key MethodMETHODS A secondary analysis was performed on data collected from women enrolled in the ACHOIS trial. Bivariate analyses were performed using the Fisher exact test. Variables found to be significantly associated with shoulder dystocia and previously identified risk factors were used as explanatory variables in multivariate analyses.

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries among women with gestational diabetes and women without gestational diabetes: A NSW population‐based cohort study
Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) are associated with maternal morbidity; however, it is uncertain whether gestational diabetes (GDM) is an independent risk factor when considering…
Fetal Macrosomia and Shoulder Dystocia in Women with Gestational Diabetes: Risks Amenable to Treatment?
TLDR
A large observational study is examined that found associations with delivery-related morbidity and hyperglycemia below current diabetic thresholds, observations which may suggest reexamination of current diagnosis guidelines for gestational diabetes.
Fetal macrosomia and pregnancy outcomes
TLDR
Pregnancies with a macrosomic fetus comprise a subgroup of high‐risk pregnancies and there is uncertainty in the clinical management and outcomes of such pregnancies, according to the authors.
Urgent delivery, diabetes and shoulder dystocia: what can we learn from observational research?
TLDR
The question arises as to whether laboring diabetic women should preferentially undergo cesarean section rather than operative vaginal delivery, and observational studies that used randomized clinical trial-like inclusion criteria and controlled confounding generated results similar to those in randomized clinical trials.
Shoulder dystocia: an update.
Sex‐hormone‐binding globulin early in pregnancy for the prediction of severe gestational diabetes mellitus and related complications
TLDR
This study evaluated the predictive value of sex‐hormone‐binding globulin (SHBG) for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and clarified the association between SHBG levels and GDM complications/medication requirements.
Gestational prediabetes: a new term for early prevention?
TLDR
A new conceptual term, "gestational prediabetes", is introduced, which requires the absence of diabetes before pregnancy, and the presence of blood glucose levels in early pregnancy that are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to meet the diagnostic criteria for GDM.
Relationship between gestational fasting plasma glucose and neonatal birth weight, prenatal blood pressure and dystocia in pregnant Chinese women

TLDR
This study investigates the relationship between gestational fasting plasma glucose and several variables: neonatal birth weight, prenatal blood pressure and dystocia rate of pregnant women to provide a useful tool to screen gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant Chinese women.
Complications of labor and delivery: shoulder dystocia.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Macrosomia: A Literature Review
TLDR
Fetal macrosomia is a common adverse infant outcome of GDM if unrecognized and untreated in time and is at an increased risk of becoming overweight or obese at a young age and are more likely to develop type II diabetes later in life.

Outcome of pregnancy in a woman with an increased body mass index
TLDR
It is shown that obesity increases the risk of adverse outcomes in labour and fetomaternal morbidity in obese women (BMI > 30) and the number of miscarriages and stillbirths among obese women is increased.
Effect of treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus on pregnancy outcomes.
TLDR
Treatment of gestational diabetes reduces serious perinatal morbidity and may also improve the woman's health-related quality of life.
Induction of labour for suspected fetal macrosomia.
TLDR
To assess the effects of a policy of labour induction for suspected fetal macrosomia on method of delivery and maternal or perinatal morbidity, a large number of women with a suspected macrosomic fetus are surveyed.

Use of Fetal Ultrasound to Select Metabolic Therapy for Pregnancies Complicated by Mild Gestational Diabetes
TLDR
Fetal ultrasound early in the third trimester identified women with mild GDM whose infants were at high risk for fetal macrosomia in the absence of standard glycemic criteria for insulin therapy, indicating that fetal ultrasound can be used to guide metabolic therapy in pregnancies complicated by mild G DM.
Cesarean delivery in relation to birth weight and gestational glucose tolerance: pathophysiology or practice style? Toronto Trihospital Gestational Diabetes Investigators.
TLDR
Infant macrosomia was a mediating factor in high cesarean delivery rates for women with untreated borderline GDM, and recognition of GDM may lead to a lower threshold for surgical delivery that mitigates the potential benefits of treatment.

How to predict recurrent shoulder dystocia.
TLDR
Factors that appear to increase the recurrence risk of shoulder dystocia include fetal weight and maternal parity and prior shoulder dyStocia is the single greatest predictive factor.
Elective delivery in diabetic pregnant women.
TLDR
There is very little evidence to support either elective delivery or expectant management at term in pregnant women with insulin-requiring diabetes, and limited data from a single randomized controlled trial suggest that induction of labour in women with gestational diabetes treated with insulin reduces the risk of macrosomia.
