BMI: body mass index; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; MVP: maximum vertical pocket; PHA: polyhydramnios. Data are expressed as median (Q1–Q3), mean±standard deviation or number (percentage) where appropriate. A p<0.05 indicates a significant difference. Statistically significant p-values are indicated in bold.
