Summary for the risk of perinatal (fetal and neonatal death) mortality for infants born to mothers with GDM
No conclusions possible: low‐ to very low‐quality evidence, or insufficient evidence to comment on the effectiveness, more evidence needed
  • Moderate‐quality evidence found no clear difference for insulin versus diet.

  • Low‐quality evidence showed no clear difference for energy‐ versus no energy‐restricted diet; lifestyle intervention versus usual care or diet alone or insulin versus oral anti‐diabetic pharmacological therapies.

  • Very low‐quality evidence showed no clear difference for induction of labour versus expectant management; glibenclamide versus acarbose; metformin versus glibenclamide; exercise versus control; low‐diet versus high‐carbohydrate diet; insulin regimen A versus B or managed with telemedicine versus standard care; continuous‐ versus self‐monitoring blood glucose or self‐ versus periodic‐glucose monitoring
