Table 2. Association between weekly GWG after GDM diagnosis and LGA and macrosomia, stratified by pre-pregnancy BMI status.

Group Variable Univariate analysis LGA
OR (95% CI)
Macrosomia

Multivariate analysis LGA
OR (95% CI)
Macrosomia

Note: Multivariable analysis was performed by adjusting for maternal age and weight gain at the time of GDM diagnosis or weekly GWG.
Abbreviation: GWG=gestational weight gain; GDM=gestational diabetes mellitus; LGA=large gestational age; BMI=body mass index; OR=odds ratio; CI=confidence interval.
