After control for potential confounding variables and comparing gravidas with lower glucose concentrations (&lt;99 mg\/dl) with the others, they found that mean birth weight increased by 50 g and 200 g with glucose concentrations of 99\u2013130 mg\/dl and &gt;130 mg\/dl, respectively. Increased maternal glucose concentration also was associated with an increased risk of large-for-gestation fetuses (p for trend &lt; 0.001) and a decreased risk of fetal growth restriction (p for trend &lt; 0.05). The association between glucose and gestation was inverse and significantly shortened when glucose concentrations were higher. Maternal complications increased twofold or more with high glucose concentrations and included cesarean section and clinical chorioamnionitis. Chorioamnionitis in combination with high maternal glucose concentration increased the risk of very preterm delivery almost 12-fold. These observations extend Pedersen's hypothesis\u2014that high concentrations of maternal glucose give rise to increased nutrient transfer to the fetus and increase fetal growth, beyond the model of maternal diabetes (Acta Endocrinol 1954;16:330\u201342). They raise the question of whether higher, but seemingly normal maternal glucose concentration predisposes to or is a marker for placental inflammation and infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/aje\/154.6.514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,26]],"date-time":"2002-07-26T19:02:40Z","timestamp":1027710160000},"page":"514-520","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":157,"title":["Maternal Glucose Concentration Influences Fetal Growth, Gestation, and Pregnancy Complications"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"154","author":[{"given":"Theresa O.","family":"Scholl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MaryFran","family":"Sowers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinhua","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carine","family":"Lenders","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2001,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019070204424355200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Boden G.
