Investigating the best timing for delivery in pregnancies affected by gestational diabetes
STAGE 2: RECRUITMENT AND FOLLOW-UP FOR THE TIMING OF DELIVERY (TIME) AIM OF THE STUDY OF PREGNANCY AND NEONATAL HEALTH (SPAN) - DUKE UNIV
This study is looking at how the timing of when babies are born affects their health if their moms have gestational diabetes, and we're inviting around 3,450 women to help us learn more so we can improve care for future pregnancies.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding how the timing of delivery impacts the health of babies born to mothers with uncontrolled gestational diabetes. The study involves recruiting approximately 3,450 women to examine various factors during pregnancy that contribute to healthy fetal and neonatal outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to different delivery timings, while others may participate through chart abstraction. The goal is to gather data that can inform better practices for managing pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are pregnant women diagnosed with uncontrolled gestational diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or those with controlled gestational diabetes may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health outcomes for babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that understanding the timing of delivery can significantly impact neonatal health, suggesting that this approach has potential for success.
