Babies born to mothers with diabetes mellitus should be thoroughly assessed for which of the following conditions?
Diabetes Mellitus and Pregnancy:
Mothers with diabetes mellitus, especially if poorly controlled, have a higher risk of having babies with congenital anomalies.
Common Conditions in Infants:
Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs): These are the most common congenital anomalies seen in babies born to mothers with diabetes. This includes conditions like ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and transposition of the great arteries.
Other Possible Conditions: Although cystic fibrosis, polycystic kidney disease, and developmental dysplasia of the hip can occur in newborns, they are not directly associated with maternal diabetes.
