Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Excessive deficiency or long-term increase in folate concentration will cause many serious consequences for pregnancy. Objectives: Survey of folate status in pregnant women at Can Tho Gynecology Obstetrics Hospital, 2023 - 2024. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on a total of 114 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes at Can Tho Gynecology Obstetrics Hospital from June 2023 to September 2024. Results: 58 pregnant women (50.9%) recorded increased folate concentration with an average folate concentration of 29.92 ± 3.44. Folate concentration in the third trimester of pregnancy (24.56 ± 8.48) was higher than that in the second trimester of pregnancy (21.31 ± 7.89) and this increase in folate concentration was statistically significant with p<0.039. Conclusion: Pregnant women with gestational diabetes in the study tended to have increased folate concentration in the third trimester of pregnancy.
