Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy

A Prediction Model of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Based on Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) in Early Pregnancy: A Prospective Cohort Study

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The existing diagnostic criteria were unsatisfactory for early prediction of GDM. By combining early OGTT, we provided an effective prediction model of GDM in the first trimester.

Study context

Population
Pregnant women at Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, May 30, 2021–August 13, 2022; OGTT at gestational weeks 7–14 for prediction and 24–28 for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis
Participants
721 women
Exposure
Prediction model vs existing diagnostic criteria at weeks 7–14
Outcome
Prediction of GDM (diagnosed by OGTT at weeks 24–28)
Follow-up
Early OGTT at gestational weeks 7 through 14
