title: [The effect of gestational impaired glucose tolerance on fetus and newborns].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) on fetus and newborns.
  
  
  METHODS
  52 GIGT mothers and 34 gestational diabetes mothers (GDM) were subjected to systematic monitoring prospectively, other 44 normal mothers served as controls. The perinatal outcomes were compared in the three groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The incidence of macrosmia in the GIGT group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.025). Neonatal blood glucose level in the GIGT group at 2 hours of age was the lowest in the three groups (P < 0.05). The incidence of hypoglycemia, polycythemia and wet lung in the GIGT group was higher than that of the control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  GIGT and GDM are important factors for poor perinatal outcome. Obstetricians and pediatricians must pay more attention to it.
