title: [Clinical analysis of pregnancy with overt diabetes complicated with retinopathy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the outcome of pregnancy in overt diabetes with retinopathy and the changes of retinopathy during pregnancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study was made on 49 pregnancies with overt diabetes from 1981 to 1995.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Maternal complications and perinatal morbidity were higher in pregnancies with retinopathy but there were no significant differences between those with and without retinopathy. Retinopathy progressed during pregnancy i 31.1% of the parturients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Pregnancies with overt diabetes complicated with retinopathy are not the indications for terminating pregnancy, but the changes of retinopathy should be carefully monitored during pregnancy.
