The Impact of Telemedicine Interventions on Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Women With Gestational Diabetes: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has a rising global prevalence and brings short-term and long-term adverse risks for mothers and fetuses. Conventional in-person GDM care is limited by time and geographic barriers, often resulting in suboptimal compliance and delayed individualized interventions. Telemedicine is increasingly applied in GDM management; however, randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence remains inconsistent.
