May indicate immature EEG maturation in infants of diabetic mothers; hypothesis-generating for maternal glycemic control effects.
Do full-term newborn infants of diabetic mothers present immature or disorganised EEG patterns compared to healthy newborns?
Full-term infants of diabetic mothers show video-EEG features of abnormal brain function development, which may be minimized by maintaining maternal HbA1c <6% during pregnancy.
