A tailored letter based on electronic health record data improves gestational weight gain among women with gestational diabetes mellitus: the Gestational Diabetes' Effects on Moms (GEM) cluster-randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a tailored letter improved gestational weight gain (GWG) and whether GWG mediated a multicomponent intervention's effect on postpartum weight retention among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The authors concluded that a tailored electronic health record-based letter improved GWG, which mediated the effect of a multicomponent intervention in reducing postpartum weight retention.
