Abstract

This commentary is an author response to Lu and Wang, regarding the manuscript entitled ‘Cardiovascular risk factors in offspring exposed to gestational diabetes mellitus in utero: Systematic review and meta-analysis’. We address their concern regarding duplication of studies in the meta-analysis and the quality of included studies.
