Coagulation studies in infants of diabetic mothers.
Coagulation studies on 17 infants of diabetic mothers were compared with 11 control infants. Only minor differences were noted, including lower platelet counts in the former group. On the basis of these findings, the increased thrombotic tendency in diabetic progeny cannot be attributed to altered hemostasis.
