Population-based study finds diabetes associated with higher risks in teenage pregnancies, suggesting need for interventions.
The prevalence of pregestational diabetes in our teenage and emerging adult population is similar to that of the general pregnancy population; however, the prevalence of GDM is significantly lower. Overall, diabetes in teenage pregnancy is associated with an elevated risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Future research should evaluate interventions aimed at reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes in this vulnerable population.
