A possible association between maternal diabetes and congenital hearing loss has been suggested, although existing evidence is inconsistent. This study examined the relationship between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and congenital hearing loss in term infants using population-level data from Queensland, Australia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional data-linkage study was conducted using the Queensland Perinatal Data Collection and the QChild newborn hearing screening database from 2014 to 2019. The cohort included term infants (\u2009&gt;\u200937 weeks) born in Queensland hospitals. Hearing outcomes were linked to maternal and perinatal variables. Multivariable regression models were used to adjust for known risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 330,778 mother\u2013infant pairs, 11.8% were exposed to GDM. Congenital hearing loss occurred in 0.3% of infants overall, including 13.7% of those exposed to GDM. No significant association was identified between GDM and congenital hearing loss (aOR 1.09; 95% CI 0.90\u20131.31). Unadjusted analyses suggested higher odds of severe, retrocochlear, and structural hearing loss subtypes among exposed infants.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GDM was not associated with congenital hearing loss in term infants in this large, population-level cohort.
