Delayed appearance of pulmonary maturation markers is associated with poor glucose control in diabetic pregnancies
1 May 1998

Fetuses born after pregnancies complicated by diabetes display delayed pulmonary maturation as measured by the delayed appearance of biochemical indicators of pulmonary maturity (phosphatidylglycerol, lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio) and by the occurrence of hyaline membrane disease even in term gestations.
