Résumé:
Given the epidemic of obesity that is observed in several countries,
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus has been gaining ground, and its study is important
due to negative outcomes for the mother-fetus binomial. However, because of
various circumstances, some patients are deprived of specialized and
multidisciplinary care. In this context, early diagnosis, correct follow-up and
treatment of this condition are extremely important to minimize the damage
caused by it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological profile of
pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus treated at a high risk
prenatal. In the methodology, an observational and descriptive cross-sectional
study was performed. The place of research was in the Archive of the Instituto de
Saúde Elpídio de Almeida (ISEA), in Campina Grande, PB; The sample of our
study corresponded to 80 pregnant women diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes
Mellitus attended from January 2017 to December 2018. Within the scenario
studied it was found that age, body mass index and number of pregnancies are
variables directly proportional to the chance of developing Gestational Diabetes
Mellitus. The need for follow-up with a nutritionist has been demonstrated, since
this support provides quality management, quantity and adequate distribution of
nutrients. A higher frequency of women diagnosed with the condition in question
was found in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. And the impact of
overweight and obesity among the risk factors for developing gestational diabetes
mellitus was demonstrated. Our work has highlighted the need for further
retrospective and observational studies so that access to high risk prenatal care as
well as multidisciplinary care reaches its entirety and thus promotes better health
promotion in the case of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
