Monitoring diabetes during pregnancy provides important information on the impact of diabetes during and after pregnancy on the health of mother and child. This report:
- describes national data sources available for monitoring the effects of diabetes during pregnancy on mothers and babies
- identifies current data gaps, alternate data sources for monitoring outcomes associated with diabetes in pregnancy, and possible data linkages to improve national monitoring of pregnancies affected by diabetes.
- Cat. no: CDK 13
Findings from this report:
-
Long term complications and outcomes by pre-existing diabetes types cannot be assessed from current national datasets
-
Data on diabetes in pregnancy are available from various data sources, all of which have strengths and weaknesses
-
Data required to monitor diabetes in pregnancy and fill current gaps are not available in any one data set
-
Linking datasets containing birth records, complications and treatment would provide a more complete assessment
