Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy

Establishment and validation of a prediction model for gestational diabetes

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Prediction model development and validation study

Authors' conclusion

A nomogram based on preconception factors was constructed to predict the occurrence of GD in the second and third trimesters. It provided an effective tool for the early prediction and timely management of GD.

Study context

Population
Pregnant women; modelling set 1756 women from the Zunyi birth cohort, internal validation set 1234 women, external validation in the Wuhan cohort
Comparison
