Placental Weight in Infants of Gestational Diabetic Mothers

This prospective cross-sectional study examined the relationship between placental weight and early neonatal outcomes, such as blood glucose levels within the first 24 hours and early neonatal morbidities in infants born to mothers with gestational diabetes. levels in the first 24 hours of life and early neonatal morbidities, in infants born to mothers with gestational diabetes.
