Abstract
Previous studies have shown that fetal abdominal obesity (FAO) was already observed at the time of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis and persisted until delivery despite management in older and/or obese women. In this study, we investigated whether fetuses of women with milder hyperglycemia than GDM have accelerated abdominal growth, leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 7,569 singleton pregnant women who were universally screened using a 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) and underwent a 3-h 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) if GCT result was ≥140mg/dL. GDM, one value abnormality (OVA), and normal glucose tolerance (NGT, NGT1: GCT negative, NGT2: GCT positive & OGTT negative) were diagnosed using Carpenter-Coustan criteria. With fetal biometry data measured simultaneously with 50-g GCT, relative fetal abdominal overgrowth was investigated by assessing the fetal abdominal overgrowth ratios (FAORs) of the ultrasonographically estimated gestational age (GA) of abdominal circumference(AC) per actual GA by the last menstruation period(LMP), biparietal diameter(BPD) or femur length(FL), respectively. FAO was defined as FAOR ≥90th percentile The FAORs of GA-AC/GA-LMP and GA-AC/GA-BPD were significantly higher in OVA subjects compared to NGT subjects but not in NGT2 subjects. Although the frequency of FAO in OVA (12.1%) was between that of NGT (9.6%) and GDM (18.3%) without statistically significant difference, the prevalence of large for gestational age at birth and primary cesarean delivery rates were significantly higher in OVA (9.8% and 29.7%) than in NGT (5.1% and 21.5%, p<0.05). Particularly, among OVA subjects with FAO, the prevalence (33.3% and 66.7%) was significantly higher than in those without FAO (9.7% and 24.2%, p<0.05). The degree of fetal abdominal growth acceleration in OVA subjects was intermediate between that of NGT and GDM subjects. OVA subjects with FAO at the time of GDM diagnosis were strongly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

J Endocrinol Invest 2024; 47:1181-1190.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early-onset gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is diagnosed before the 24th gestational week. Since early GDM is associated with first trimester hyperglycemia, many clinicians treat these women as having pre-GDM. However, whether early GDM increases the risk for unfavorable pregnancy outcomes and particularly for fetal malformations to a greater extent than late-onset GDM were not studied sufficiently. We aimed to examine the effect of early-onset GDM on unfavorable pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of women with GDM delivering singletons during 2005-2018 was conducted. Women were divided into GDM diagnosed at the first (Trimester1; up to 13.6 weeks; N = 117), the second (Trimester2; up to 23.6 weeks; N = 126), and the third trimester (Trimester3; N = 2334). The primary outcomes were neonatal malformations and a composite of large-for-age newborns, hypoglycemia and hyperbilirubinemia treated with phototherapy. Comparisons were made between early- (Trimester1 + Trimester2-groups) and late-onset GDM (Trimester3-group), and between the three trimesters. RESULTS Fetal malformations were low and comparable between the trimester1, trimester2, trimester3 groups (2 (1.7%), 3 (2.4%), and 110 (4.7%), respectively). The composite neonatal complications was similar between the groups (68 (58%), 58 (46%), and 1087 (47%), respectively). In early-onset, the rates of neonatal hypoglycemia and shoulder dystocia were higher than in the late-onset GDM group (OR 95% CI 3.5 [2.0-6.1] and 10.3 [2.4-44.6], respectively). Macrosomia was higher in trimester1 compared with trimester2 and trimester3 cohorts (OR 95% CI 5.3 [1.7-16.9] and 2.8 [1.5-5.2], respectively). CONCLUSIONS The risk for fetal malformations was low and comparable between the first, second and third trimester GDM. Since the risks for macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, and neonatal hypoglycemia are higher in early-onset GDM, these women should undergo strict glycemic control, intensive monitoring, and careful neonatal evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the risk of type 2 diabetes(T2D) following one abnormal value(OAbV) in an oral glucose tolerance test(oGTT) performed during pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of parturients between 01.01.2017 and 31.12.2020 with 5 years of follow-up after delivery. Glucose levels during pregnancy were extracted from the computerized laboratory system of Meuhedet HMO and cross-tabulated with the Israeli National Registry of Diabetes. Women with multiple gestations or pregestational diabetes were excluded. Maternal characteristics and risk of T2D were stratified and compared between 3 groups: normal glucose status, OAbV in oGTT, and gestational diabetes. Statistical analysis included univariate analysis followed by survival analysis. Further analysis was stratified to women with and without obesity. RESULTS 58,693 women entered the analysis. Following an adjustment to maternal age, obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, OAbV in oGTT was associated with a 1.8-fold increased risk of T2D in a 5-year follow-up compared to normal glucose status. When stratified by obesity, OAbV was associated with a 3.7-fold increase in T2D in women without obesity, however, was no longer a statistically significant predictor of T2D among women with obesity. CONCLUSIONS Women with OAbV oGTT during pregnancy are at increased risk for developing T2D over 5 years of follow-up.

Abstract
Clinical implication of a single abnormal value (SAV) in the 100 g oral glucose tolerance test during pregnancy has not been established. We aimed to evaluate the risk of postpartum type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and investigate adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with SAV, using a retrospective database, from seven medical centers of Korea. Based on the Carpenter-Coustan criteria using two-step approach, pregnancy and postpartum outcomes were compared, among normoglycemic, SAV, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) groups. Among 9353 women, 342 (3.66%) and 418(4.47%) women were included in SAV and GDM groups, respectively. SAV and GDM groups showed significantly higher rates of postpartum T2DM than normoglycemic group (7.60%, 14.83%, and 1.82%, respectively, p < 0.001). And SAV group showed significantly higher rates of pregnancy associated hypertension, preterm birth, and neonatal hypoglycemia and sepsis, compared to normoglycemic group (neonatal sepsis, p = 0.008; the others, p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, postpartum T2DM was associated with SAV, GDM (with/without insulin), nulliparity, pre-pregnancy BMI, chronic hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and DM family history. A scoring model to predict postpartum T2DM within 5 years, achieved an area under the curve of 0.74. This study demonstrated that not only GDM, but also SAV is a significant risk factor for postpartum T2DM.

Abstract
AIMS With the two-step gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening approach, hyperglycemic subtypes can be identified. We aimed to investigate racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence of hyperglycemic subtypes and to examine the associations between these subtypes and adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS In this retrospective cohort, 11,405 pregnancies were screened using the two-step approach. Hyperglycemic subtypes included: pregnancy-impaired glucose intolerance-I (PIGT-I), PIGT-II, GDM-I (abnormal post-load glucose only), and GDM-II (abnormal fasting & post-load glucose). Modified Poisson regressions with robust error variance were used to estimate age-adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) of hyperglycemic subtypes and multivariable-adjusted risk ratios (RR) of adverse pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS The prevalence of hyperglycemic subtypes was higher in Asians (PIGT-I: 1.51 [95% confidence interval 1.35-1.69]; PIGT-II: 2.18 [1.78-2.68]; GDM-I: 2.55 [2.10-3.10]; GDM-II: 1.55 [1.08-2.21]) and Hispanics (PIGT-I: 1.32 [1.16-1.50]; PIGT-II: 2.07 [1.67-2.57]; GDM-I: 1.69 [1.35-2.13]; GDM-II: 2.68 [1.93-3.71]) than non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). Despite low GDM prevalence, Japanese and Koreans had higher PIGT prevalence than NHW. PIGT-II was positively associated with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (1.19 [1.02-1.38]), large-for-gestational age (1.73 [1.37-2.18]), and preterm birth (PB, 1.33 [1.05-1.68]). PIGT-I (1.23 [1.04-1.45]) and GDM-I (1.56 [0.87-1.71]) were positively related to PB. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of hyperglycemic subtypes varies by race/ethnicity and they have distinct health implications.

Previous High-Intensity Breastfeeding Lowers the Risk of an Abnormal Fasting Glucose in a Subsequent Pregnancy Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. Nutrients 2023; 16:28. [PMID: 38201858 PMCID: PMC10780944 DOI: 10.3390/nu16010028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Breastfeeding is associated with reduced lifetime cardiometabolic risk, but little is known regarding the metabolic benefit in a subsequent pregnancy. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the association between breastfeeding duration and intensity and next pregnancy oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results. A retrospective cohort study was conducted from March 2020 to October 2022. All multiparous women who met inclusion criteria and gave birth during the study period were eligible for inclusion. Analysis was stratified by risk for gestational diabetes (GDM). High GDM risk criteria included previous GDM and BMI > 35 kg/m2. The association between breastfeeding duration and high-intensity breastfeeding (HIBF) and subsequent pregnancy OGTT were assessed with multivariate logistic models adjusted for statistically and clinically relevant covariables. There were 5374 multiparous participants who met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Of these, 61.7% had previously breastfed for >6 months, and 43.4% were at high risk for GDM. HIBF was associated with 47% reduced odds of an abnormal fasting glucose in a subsequent pregnancy OGTT (aOR 0.53; 95%CI 0.38-0.75; p < 0.01). There was no association between HIBF and other glucose results on the OGTT. Women who smoked were least likely to breastfeed at high intensity (aOR 0.31; 95%CI 0.21-0.47; p < 0.01). South Asian women had 65% higher odds of HIBF than women who identified as White/European (aOR 1.65; 1.36-2.00; p < 0.01). This study highlights the importance of exclusive breastfeeding to potentially reduce the prevalence of GDM and may also translate into long-term reduction of cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze pregnancy outcomes of women with one abnormal value (OAV) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or OGTT-intolerance, compared with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) pregnant women, according to whether they received any health intervention or not. METHODS An observational retrospective study was designed including pregnant women who gave birth at Hospital del Mar, Barcelona (Spain) during December/2014-July/2018. Baseline characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and health interventions were obtained from a database collected previously for other study. Inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancies with OAV or OGTT-intolerants who gave birth at the Hospital. GDM screening followed a two-step approach: 50 g O'Sullivan test and 100 g 3-hour OGTT if the former was abnormal. RESULTS From a total of 2,662 pregnancies, 326 (12.2%) had GDM, 87 OAV (3.3%), 65 OGTT intolerance (2.4%) and 2,184 were NGT women. First trimester HbA1c in both OAV and OGTT-intolerant women was significantly higher than in NGT group, and significantly lower than in GDM pregnants. No differences in obstetric outcomes were found between OGTT-intolerants and NGT/GDM groups. Treated OGTT-intolerants had greater gestational age at delivery than non-treated ones (weeks, 39.6 ± 1.2 vs 38.0 ± 4.0, respectively). In OAV women, significant differences were observed in newborns' birthweight (g, 3227.3 ± 500.8 vs 3351.1 ± 436.7, vs GDM) and gestational age at birth (weeks, 38.7 ± 1.8 vs 39.3 ± 1.9, vs NGT), but not in macrosomia/pre-eclampsia. No differences were found according to treatment in OAV. CONCLUSIONS OAV and OGTT-intolerants account for a third of pregnant women referred to Diabetes Unit. Their rates of preterm birth, pre-eclampsia and macrosomia were not different from NGT or GDM women.

APPO study (Air Pollution on Pregnancy Outcome) was a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study conducted from January 2021 to March 2023. Individual PM2.5 concentrations were calculated using a time-weighted average model. Metabolic dysfunction during pregnancy was assessed based on a modified definition of metabolic syndrome and its components, accounting for pregnancy-specific criteria. Exposure to PM2.5 during pregnancy was associated with worsened metabolic parameters especially glucose metabolism. In comparison to participants exposed to the low PM2.5 group, those exposed to high PM2.5 levels exhibited increased odds of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) after adjusting for confounding variables in different adjusted models. Specifically, in model 1, the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) was 3.117 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 1.234-7.870; in model 2, the aOR was 3.855 with a 95% CI of 1.255-11.844; in model 3, the aOR was 3.404 with a 95% CI of 1.206-9.607; and in model 4, the aOR was 2.741 with a 95% CI of 0.712-10.547. Exposure to higher levels of PM2.5 during pregnancy was associated with a tendency to worsen metabolic dysfunction markers specifically in glucose homeostasis. Further research is needed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of ambient PM2.5 on metabolic dysfunction during pregnancy.

Abstract
Purpose of the study Comparing maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancies associated with single versus double abnormal values in 100 gr oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Methods This cohort study was performed in Arash women's Hospital, Tehran, Iran from 2019 to 2020. Patients with normal fasting blood sugar (FBS) tests were divided into two groups according to their OGTT results. The first group had a single abnormal value in their OGTT and the second group showed two abnormal values. Both groups were followed regularly until the end of pregnancy. Results Our results showed higher rates of macrosomia (birth of newborns weighed over 4 kg) and the need for pharmacological treatment for the management of GDM in the second group (P = 0.05). There were no differences between the two groups in terms of other maternal (polyhydramnios, shoulder dystocia, operative vaginal delivery, atony, postpartum bleeding, cesarean delivery, preeclampsia, and IUFD) and fetal outcomes (Apgar score, seizure, NICU admission, and hypoglycemia in the first 24 h). Conclusion We found no significant differences between pregnant women with single and double abnormal values in 100 gr OGTT regarding maternal and neonatal outcomes, except for macrosomia and need for pharmaceutical treatment.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to evaluated if fetuses of subjects with one elevated value on the 3-h GTT had a measurable physiologic difference in fetal C-peptide levels as compared to those with no elevated values on the GTT. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study to evaluate insulin levels in singleton non-anomalous fetuses of subjects with one elevated value on the GTT as compared to subjects with no elevated values on their GTT. Fetal insulin levels were measured by fetal C-peptide in cord blood. Distribution of data was assessed and outliers representing values > the 99th and < the 1st percentiles were excluded. Data were log transformed to achieve normal distribution and univariable analyses were performed to compare fetal C-peptide levels, baseline maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes in subjects with one elevated value as compared those with no elevated values. RESULTS Our analysis included 99 subjects, with 49 subjects in the one elevated value group and 50 subjects in the no elevated values group. Fetal C-peptide levels (picomoles per liters, pmol/L), were significantly higher in the elevated value group as compared to the no elevated value group (mean ± SD; 4.6 ± 0.8 vs. 4.3 ± 0.7, P = 0.046, respectively). In univariable analysis, there was no significant difference in maternal characteristics or adverse composite perinatal outcomes. CONCLUSION Fetuses of subjects who had one elevated value on their GTT had a measurable physiologic difference in C-peptide levels as compared to fetuses of subjects with no elevated values on the GTT.

Abstract
Although glucose intolerance is prevalent in Macau, it is rarely assessed during pregnancy. This study examined short-term maternal and neonatal outcomes at different maternal glucose levels in Macau. A total of 2388 pregnant women who received antenatal care at Health Centers and delivered at the Centro Hospitalar Conde de São Januário between June 2018 and December 2019 were included in this study. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was diagnosed using Carpenter and Coustan criteria, involving a 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) followed by a 100g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Participants were categorized into 4 groups: normal glucose tolerance if GCT was negative; mild gestational hyperglycemia in this study if positive GCT without GDM; GDM patients with normal fasting blood glucose (FBG) or high FBG in OGTT. Logistic regression analysis was employed to compare pregnancy outcomes among these 4 groups. Due to the limited number of cases, we combined several adverse maternal outcomes, including pregnancy-induced hypertension, assisted delivery, primary Caesarean section, moderate to severe perineal trauma, and postpartum hemorrhage, into a composite measure. The results showed higher rates of the aforementioned outcomes for mild gestational hyperglycemia and GDM with high FBG in OGTT groups [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-1.64; aOR 2.04, 95% CI 1.24-3.37], as well as macrosomia risk (aOR 2.02, 95% CI 1.11-3.66; aOR 5.04, 95% CI 2.03-12.52) and large-for-gestational age infants (aOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.02-2.16; aOR 4.34, 95% CI 2.31-8.15). Pregnancy outcomes were similar for normal glucose tolerance and GDM with normal FBG in OGTT. Mild gestational hyperglycemia raised the likelihood of adverse maternal outcomes and excessive infant birth weights. Even after achieving target glucose levels, GDM patients with elevated fasting glucose readings in OGTT remained at significant risk for these events. Instead, fasting normoglycemic GDM was treated effectively at Macau Health Centers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risks of large-for-gestational-age birth weight (LGA) and birth weight-related complications in pregnant individuals with gestational glucose intolerance, an abnormal screening glucose loading test result without meeting gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) criteria. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study of 46,989 individuals with singleton pregnancies who delivered after 28 weeks of gestation, those with glucose loading test results less than 140 mg/dL were classified as having normal glucose tolerance. Those with glucose loading test results of 140 mg/dL or higher and fewer than two abnormal values on a 3-hour 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were classified as having gestational glucose intolerance. Those with two or more abnormal OGTT values were classified as having GDM. We hypothesized that gestational glucose intolerance would be associated with higher odds of LGA (birth weight greater than the 90th percentile for gestational age and sex). We used generalized estimating equations to examine the odds of LGA in pregnant individuals with gestational glucose intolerance compared with those with normal glucose tolerance, after adjustment for age, body mass index, parity, health insurance, race and ethnicity, and marital status. In addition, we investigated differences in birth weight-related adverse pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS Large for gestational age was present in 7.8% of 39,685 pregnant individuals with normal glucose tolerance, 9.5% of 4,155 pregnant individuals with gestational glucose intolerance and normal OGTT, 14.5% of 1,438 pregnant individuals with gestational glucose intolerance and one abnormal OGTT value, and 16.0% of 1,711 pregnant individuals with GDM. The adjusted odds of LGA were higher in pregnant individuals with gestational glucose intolerance than in those with normal glucose tolerance overall (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.35, 95% CI 1.23-1.49, P <.001). When compared separately with pregnant individuals with normal glucose tolerance, those with either gestational glucose intolerance subtype had higher adjusted LGA odds (gestational glucose intolerance with normal OGTT aOR 1.21, 95% CI 1.08-1.35, P <.001; gestational glucose intolerance with one abnormal OGTT value aOR 1.77, 95% CI 1.52-2.08, P <.001). The odds of birth weight-related adverse outcomes (including cesarean delivery, severe perineal lacerations, and shoulder dystocia or clavicular fracture) were higher in pregnant individuals with gestational glucose intolerance with one abnormal OGTT value than in those with normal glucose tolerance. CONCLUSION Gestational glucose intolerance in pregnancy is associated with birth weight-related adverse pregnancy outcomes. Glucose lowering should be investigated as a strategy for lowering the risk of these outcomes in this group.

Abstract
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between gestational diabetes mellitus and infections during pregnancy. We included cross-sectional, case-control, cohort studies and clinical trials, evaluating the frequency of infections in women with and without gestational diabetes mellitus. A search was conducted in Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science electronic databases and by manually searching references, until 23 March 2022, resulting in 16 studies being selected for review, with 111,649 women in the gestational diabetes mellitus group, and 1,429,659 in the controls. Cochrane's Q test of heterogeneity and I² were used to assess heterogeneity. Pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated. Funnel plots and Egger test were used for assessment of publication bias. The results showed a significant association between gestational diabetes mellitus and infections (pooled-OR 1.3 95% CI [1.2-1.5]). Sub-analyses showed a significant association for urinary tract infections (pooled-OR of 1.2 95% CI [1.1-1.3]), bacterial infections (pooled-OR were 1.2 95% CI [1.1-1.4]), and SARS-CoV-2 (pooled-OR 1.5 95% CI [1.2-2.0]) but not to gingivitis or vaginal candidiasis. The results underscore the significance of acknowledging gestational diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for infections.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether women with twin gestation and one abnormal value on the diagnostic 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) are at an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. METHODS This was a retrospective multicenter study of women with twin gestation, comparing four groups: (1) normal 50-g screening, (2) normal 100-g 3-hour OGTT, (3) one abnormal value on the 3-hour OGTT, and (4) GDM. Multivariable logistic regressions adjusted for maternal age, gravidity, parity, previous CDs, fertility treatments, smoking, obesity and chorionicity were used. RESULTS The study included 2,597 women with twin gestations, of which 79.7% had a normal screen, and 6.2% had one abnormal value on the OGTT. In adjusted analyses, women with one abnormal value were found to have higher rates of preterm delivery <32 weeks, large for gestational age neonates, and composite neonatal morbidity of at least one fetus, however, similar maternal outcomes as those with a normal screen. CONCLUSION Our study provides evidence that women with twin gestation and one abnormal value on the 3-hour OGTT are at an increased risk of unfavorable neonatal outcomes. This was confirmed by multivariable logistic regressions. Further research is needed to determine whether interventions such as nutritional counseling, blood glucose monitoring, and treatment with diet and medication would improve perinatal outcomes in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in recent years with serious health ramifications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the strength and validity of associations between diabetes and anti-diabetic interventions and the risk of any type of gynaecological or obstetric conditions. METHODS Design: Umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, manual screening of references. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational and interventional studies investigating the relationship between diabetes and anti-diabetic interventions with gynaecological or obstetric outcomes. Meta-analyses that did not include complete data from individual studies, such as relative risk, 95% confidence intervals, number of cases/controls, or total population were excluded. DATA ANALYSIS The evidence from meta-analyses of observational studies was graded as strong, highly suggestive, suggestive or weak according to criteria comprising the random effects estimate of meta-analyses and their largest study, the number of cases, 95% prediction intervals, I2 heterogeneity index between studies, excess significance bias, small study effect and sensitivity analysis using credibility ceilings. Interventional meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials were assessed separately based on the statistical significance of reported associations, the risk of bias and quality of evidence (GRADE) of included meta-analyses. RESULTS A total of 117 meta-analyses of observational cohort studies and 200 meta-analyses of randomised clinical trials that evaluated 317 outcomes were included. Strong or highly suggestive evidence only supported a positive association between gestational diabetes and caesarean section, large for gestational age babies, major congenital malformations and heart defects and an inverse relationship between metformin use and ovarian cancer incidence. Only a fifth of the randomised controlled trials investigating the effect of anti-diabetic interventions on women's health reached statistical significance and highlighted metformin as a more effective agent than insulin on risk reduction of adverse obstetric outcomes in both gestational and pre-gestational diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Gestational diabetes appears to be strongly associated with a high risk of caesarean section and large for gestational age babies. Weaker associations were demonstrated between diabetes and anti-diabetic interventions with other obstetric and gynaecological outcomes.

[PMID: 37011646 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(23)00062-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of type 2 diabetes among women with glucose intolerance during pregnancy that does not meet gestational diabetes criteria requires further investigation. We aimed to explore the associations between various degrees of gestational glucose intolerance and the risk of type 2 diabetes in young adulthood. METHODS For this population-based cohort study, the national Israeli conscription database was linked to Maccabi Healthcare Services (MHS), the second-largest state-mandated health provider in Israel. We included 177 241 women who underwent a pre-recruitment evaluation at adolescence (age 16-20 years), 1 year before mandatory military service, and later underwent, from Jan 1, 2001, to Dec 31, 2019, two-step gestational diabetes screening with a 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) based on a threshold of 140 mg/dL (7·8 mmol/L), followed as needed by a 100 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Abnormal OGTT values were defined according to the Carpenter-Coustan thresholds: 95 mg/dL (5·3 mmol/L) or higher in the fasting state; 180 mg/dL (10·0 mmol/L) or higher at 1 h; 155 mg/dL (8·6 mmol/L) or higher at 2 h; and 140 mg/dL (7·8 mmol/L) or higher at 3 h. The primary outcome was incident type 2 diabetes in the MHS diabetes registry. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for incident type 2 diabetes. FINDINGS During a cumulative follow-up of 1 882 647 person-years, and with a median follow-up of 10·8 (IQR 5·2-16·4) years, 1262 women were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Crude incidence rates of type 2 diabetes were 2·6 (95% CI 2·4-2·9) per 10 000 person-years in women with gestational normoglycaemia, 8·9 (7·4-10·6) per 10 000 person-years in women with an abnormal GCT and normal OGTT, 26·1 (22·4-30·1) per 10 000 person-years in women with one abnormal OGTT value (in the fasting state or 1 h, 2 h, or 3 h post-challenge), and 71·9 (66·0-78·3) per 10 000 person-years in women with gestational diabetes. After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, adolescent BMI, and age at gestational screening, the risk of type 2 diabetes was higher, compared to the gestational normoglycaemia group, in women with an abnormal GCT and normal OGTT (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 3·39 [95% CI 2·77-4·16]; p<0·0001), in women with one abnormal OGTT value (9·11 [7·64-10·86]; p<0·0001), and in women with gestational diabetes (24·84 [21·78-28·34]; p<0·0001). The risk of type 2 diabetes was modestly increased in women with isolated elevated fasting glucose (adjusted HR 11·81 [95% CI 8·58-16·25]; p<0·0001), and in women with gestational diabetes and an abnormal fasting glucose (38·02 [32·41-44·61]; p<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Gestational glucose intolerance, including conditions not meeting gestational diabetes criteria of the two-step strategy, confers a high risk of type 2 diabetes in young adulthood. These conditions should be recognised as risk factors for type 2 diabetes, especially among women with abnormal fasting glucose concentrations during pregnancy. FUNDING None.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pregnant individuals are universally screened for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Gestational glucose intolerance (GGI) (an abnormal initial GDM screening test without a GDM diagnosis) is not a recognized diabetes risk factor. We tested for an association between GGI and diabetes after pregnancy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals followed for prenatal and primary care. We defined GGI as an abnormal screening glucose-loading test result at ≥24 weeks' gestation with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) that did not meet GDM criteria. The primary outcome was incident diabetes. We used Cox proportional hazards models with time-varying exposures and covariates to compare incident diabetes risk in individuals with GGI and normal glucose tolerance. RESULTS Among 16,836 individuals, there were 20,359 pregnancies with normal glucose tolerance, 2,943 with GGI, and 909 with GDM. Over a median of 8.4 years of follow-up, 428 individuals developed diabetes. Individuals with GGI had increased diabetes risk compared to those with normal glucose tolerance in pregnancy (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.01 [95% CI 1.54-2.62], P < 0.001). Diabetes risk increased with the number of abnormal OGTT values (zero, aHR 1.54 [1.09-2.16], P = 0.01; one, aHR 2.97 [2.07-4.27], P < 0.001; GDM, aHR 8.26 [6.49-10.51], P < 0.001 for each compared with normal glucose tolerance). The fraction of cases of diabetes 10 years after delivery attributable to GGI and GDM was 8.5% and 28.1%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS GGI confers an increased risk of future diabetes. Routinely available clinical data identify an unrecognized group who may benefit from enhanced diabetes screening and prevention.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) traditionally refers to abnormal glucose tolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. GDM has long been associated with obstetric and neonatal complications primarily relating to higher infant birthweight and is increasingly recognized as a risk factor for future maternal and offspring cardiometabolic disease. The prevalence of GDM continues to rise internationally due to epidemiological factors including the increase in background rates of obesity in women of reproductive age and rising maternal age and the implementation of the revised International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups' criteria and diagnostic procedures for GDM. The current lack of international consensus for the diagnosis of GDM reflects its complex historical evolution and pragmatic antenatal resource considerations given GDM is now 1 of the most common complications of pregnancy. Regardless, the contemporary clinical approach to GDM should be informed not only by its short-term complications but also by its longer term prognosis. Recent data demonstrate the effect of early in utero exposure to maternal hyperglycemia, with evidence for fetal overgrowth present prior to the traditional diagnosis of GDM from 24 weeks' gestation, as well as the durable adverse impact of maternal hyperglycemia on child and adolescent metabolism. The major contribution of GDM to the global epidemic of intergenerational cardiometabolic disease highlights the importance of identifying GDM as an early risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, broadening the prevailing clinical approach to address longer term maternal and offspring complications following a diagnosis of GDM.

Abstract
Aims Assessing the value of oral glucose tolerance test performed at term pregnancy in identifying obstetric complications. Methods Retrospective cohort study of women with a normal 50 g glucose challenge test who also had an oral glucose tolerance test at term (defined as at or after 37 weeks of gestation). Comparison between the pathological and normal oral glucose tolerance test groups was performed. Results The mean glucose in the glucose challenge test of women in the normal oral glucose tolerance test (n = 256) group was lower than that in the pathological oral glucose tolerance test (N = 16) group (105 ± 17 mg/dl (5.8 ± 0.9 mmol/l) vs 117 ± 13 mg/dl (6.5 ± 0.7 mmol/l), p = 0.007). Relevant obstetrical complications did not differ significantly between the groups. Of note, in the pathological oral glucose tolerance test group only one woman delivered a macrosomic infant. Conclusions A pathological oral glucose tolerance test performed at term was unable to identify women at risk for impaired glucose metabolism-related obstetric complications and is therefore of limited clinical value and seems to be unjustified.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the relationship between abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy and maternal-fetal outcomes, after categorizing women into groups with different levels of gestational abnormal glucose tolerance. METHODS A total of 1858 pregnant women who received two-step screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) at Fooyin University Hospital were categorized into four groups, according to their glucose abnormalities, and their maternal-fetal outcomes were investigated from October 2015 to June 2020. RESULTS Among the groups having different levels of abnormal glucose tolerance, there were significant differences and trends in mother's age, currently married status, and prepregnancy overweight or obesity, incidences of cesarean section, preterm, and gestational hypertension or preeclampsia; and with respect to neonatal incidence of large for gestational age (LGA), average weight, and average height (p < 0.05). After adjusting for potential factors, there were higher incidences of cesarean section (AOR = 1.71; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-2.61), preterm (AOR = 2.20; 95% CI: 1.23-3.91), neonatal LGA (AOR = 4.94; 95% CI: 2.87-8.51), and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission (AOR = 2.66; 95% CI: 1.14-6.24) in the GDM group, relative to the control group. Furthermore, the women in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-1 group had a higher incidence of neonatal LGA when compared with the women in the normal group (AOR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.02-5.33). CONCLUSIONS We found higher incidences of cesarean section, preterm, and neonatal LGA and NICU admission in the GDM women, and a higher incidence of neonatal LGA in the OGTT-1 group, relative to control group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine if one abnormal value of four on the diagnostic 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes in obese women. STUDY DESIGN This is a secondary analysis of a prospective study of nulliparous women in eight geographic regions. Women with body mass index <30 kg/m2 and pregestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were excluded. Four groups were compared: (1) normal 50-g 1-hour glucose screen, (2) elevated 1-hour glucose screen with normal 100-g 3-hour diagnostic OGTT, (3) elevated 1-hour glucose screen and one of four abnormal values on 3-hour OGTT, and (4) GDM. Using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for covariates, the women in the groups with dysglycemia were compared with those in the normal screen group for maternal and neonatal outcomes. RESULTS Among 1,713 obese women, 1,418 (82.8%) had a normal 1-hour glucose screen, 125 (7.3%) had a normal 3-hour diagnostic OGTT, 72 (4.2%) had one abnormal value on their diagnostic OGTT, and 98 (5.7%) were diagnosed with GDM. The one abnormal value group had increased risk of large for gestational age (LGA) neonates (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.24, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-3.82), cesarean delivery (aOR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.34-3.58), and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (aOR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.32-3.63) compared with normal screens. The one abnormal value group also had an increased risk of preterm birth <37 weeks (aOR = 2.63, 95% CI: 1.43-4.84), neonatal respiratory support (aOR = 2.38, 95% CI: 1.23-4.60), and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (aOR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.08-3.71). There was no association between one abnormal value with shoulder dystocia and neonatal hypoglycemia. CONCLUSION For obese women, one abnormal value on the 3-hour OGTT confers increased perinatal adverse outcomes. These women should be studied further to determine if nutrition counseling and closer fetal monitoring improve outcomes even in the absence of a diagnosis of GDM. KEY POINTS · Study of obese women with one abnormal value on OGTT.. · Adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes were found, including more LGA neonates.. · Neonates were not at increased risk of hypoglycemia..

Abstract
AIMS The International Association for Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria recommend a single-step diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of this study was to examine the association between the number of abnormal glucose values and levels of FPG with pregnancy outcomes. METHODS Pregnant women (n=1,044) were screened for GDM at maternity centers in South India using IADPSG criteria. OGTTs were classified based on the number of abnormal glucose values (any one value or more than one value high) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) values (<92mg/dl,92-100mg/dl,>100mg/dl) and correlated with pregnancy outcomes. Odds ratio were adjusted for age, BMI, gestational week at diagnosis, family history of diabetes, previous history of GDM, gestational week at delivery and birth weight. For macrosomia and large for gestation age, birth weight was excluded from the model. RESULTS Risk of caesarean section was significantly higher in women with any one abnormal glucose value (OR: 1.49; 95%CI: 1.07-2.09). This further increased in those with >1 value (OR: 1.35; 95%CI: 0.87-2.10), when compared to women with all values normal. Risk of large for gestation age (LGA) was higher in women with FPG 92-100mg/dl (OR: 1.37; 95%CI: 0.80-2.35) and in those with FPG >100mg/dl (OR: 1.87; 95%CI: 1.04-3.35), compared to those with FPG <92mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS The risk for poor pregnancy outcomes starts in those with one abnormal value in the OGTT or with FPG >92mg/dl but becomes significantly higher in those with higher abnormal values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with gestational glucose intolerance, defined as an abnormal initial gestational diabetes mellitus screening test, are at risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes even if they do not have gestational diabetes mellitus. Previously, we defined the physiological subtypes of gestational diabetes mellitus based on the primary underlying physiology leading to hyperglycemia and found that women with different subtypes had differential risks of adverse outcomes. Physiological subclassification has not yet been applied to women with gestational glucose intolerance. OBJECTIVE We defined the physiological subtypes of gestational glucose intolerance based on the presence of insulin resistance, insulin deficiency, or mixed pathophysiology and aimed to determine whether these subtypes are at differential risks of adverse outcomes. We hypothesized that women with the insulin-resistant subtype of gestational glucose intolerance would have the greatest risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. STUDY DESIGN In a hospital-based cohort study, we studied women with gestational glucose intolerance (glucose loading test 1-hour glucose, ≥140 mg/dL; n=236) and normal glucose tolerance (glucose loading test 1-hour glucose, <140 mg/dL; n=1472). We applied homeostasis model assessment to fasting glucose and insulin levels at 16 to 20 weeks' gestation to assess insulin resistance and deficiency and used these measures to classify women with gestational glucose intolerance into subtypes. We compared odds of adverse outcomes (large for gestational age birthweight, neonatal intensive care unit admission, pregnancy-related hypertension, and cesarean delivery) in each subtype to odds in women with normal glucose tolerance using logistic regression with adjustment for age, race and ethnicity, marital status, and body mass index. RESULTS Of women with gestational glucose intolerance (12% with gestational diabetes mellitus), 115 (49%) had the insulin-resistant subtype, 70 (27%) had the insulin-deficient subtype, 40 (17%) had the mixed pathophysiology subtype, and 11 (5%) were uncategorized. We found increased odds of large for gestational age birthweight (primary outcome) in women with the insulin-resistant subtype compared with women with normal glucose tolerance (odds ratio, 2.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.43-3.88; P=.001; adjusted odds ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-3.48; P=.04). The odds of large for gestational age birthweight in women with the insulin-deficient subtype were increased only after adjustment for covariates (odds ratio, 1.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.84-3.38; P=.14; adjusted odds ratio, 2.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-4.19; P=.048). Among secondary outcomes, there was a trend toward increased odds of neonatal intensive care unit admission in the insulin-resistant subtype in an unadjusted model (odds ratio, 2.09; 95% confidence interval, 0.99-4.40; P=.05); this finding was driven by an increased risk of neonatal intensive care unit admission in women with the insulin-resistant subtype and a body mass index of <25 kg/m2. Infants of women with other subtypes did not have increased odds of neonatal intensive care unit admission. The odds of pregnancy-related hypertension in women with the insulin-resistant subtype were increased (odds ratio, 2.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.31-3.33; P=.002; adjusted odds ratio, 1.77; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-2.92; P=.03) compared with women with normal glucose tolerance; other subtypes did not have increased odds of pregnancy-related hypertension. There was no difference in cesarean delivery rates in nulliparous women across subtypes. CONCLUSION Insulin-resistant gestational glucose intolerance is a high-risk subtype for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Delineating physiological subtypes may provide opportunities for a more personalized approach to gestational glucose intolerance.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicates between 5 and 12% of pregnancies, with associated maternal, fetal, and neonatal complications. The ideal screening and diagnostic criteria to diagnose and treat GDM have not been established and, currently, diagnostic use with an oral glucose tolerance test occurs late in pregnancy and produces poor reproducibility. Therefore, in recent years, significant research has been undertaken to identify a first-trimester biomarker that can predict GDM later in pregnancy, enable early intervention, and reduce GDM-related adverse pregnancy outcomes. Possible biomarkers include glycemic markers (fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c), adipocyte-derived markers (adiponectin and leptin), pregnancy-related markers (pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A and the placental growth factor), inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor-α), insulin resistance markers (sex hormone-binding globulin), and others. This review summarizes current data on first-trimester biomarkers, the advantages, and the limitations. Large multi-ethnic clinical trials and cost-effectiveness analyses are needed not only to build effective prediction models but also to validate their clinical use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by hypoglycemia on 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis of all live-born deliveries in a single medical center during 2018 and 2019 with available OGTT results and birth outcomes. Preterm deliveries (<34 weeks), multiple pregnancies and major anomalies were excluded. Hypoglycemia during OGTT was defined as at least one glucose value below 60 mg/dl. Maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes were compared between three groups: Hypoglycemia on OGTT, Normal OGTT and Abnormal OGTT. Univariate followed by multivariate analyses were used to control for confounders. RESULTS Overall, 2079 women were entered into the analysis. Of these, 216 (10.4%) had at least one hypoglycemic value, 1072 (51.6%) had normal OGTTs and 791 (38%) abnormal OGTTs. Hypoglycemia in OGTT was more prevalent in multiparous women and was associated with fetal male gender. Absolute birth weight, low birth weight and small for gestational age differed between groups; however, there was no difference between groups in overall birth weight centiles (60.1 ± 26.8 versus 63 ± 26 versus 60.9 ± 27; P > 0.05). Following adjustment of confounders, hypoglycemia was not associated with rates of low birth weight or small for gestational age (P < 0.05). There were no other differences in perinatal outcomes between groups. CONCLUSION Hypoglycemia in OGTT is not associated with maternal or neonatal adverse outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the clinical significance of a low 180-minute glucose value in a 100 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and a single high abnormal value. METHODS A retrospective cohort study. The study group included women with 180-minute plasma glucose levels of ≤60 mg/dL and one abnormal value in the OGTT. The control group was comprised of women with one abnormal value in the OGTT and normal 180-minute glucose value. The primary outcome was glycemic control, defined as fasting blood glucose measurements > 90 mg/dL or post-prandial glucose values >140 mg/dL or 120 mg/dL (one-hour and two-hour post-prandial, respectively) in >30% of the measurements. Secondary outcomes were the rate of insulin treatment and the perinatal outcome consisting of birthweight, large-for-gestational-age, and polyhydramnios. RESULTS Three hundred and one women were included, 143 in the study group and 158 in the control group. Pre-pregnancy BMI, first trimester fasting glucose levels, previous GDM, and familial diabetes were similar for both groups. Suboptimal glycemic control was more prevalent among the women in the study group (14% vs. 5.1%, respectively, p= .01). The need for insulin treatment was similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Women with one abnormal value and a 180-minute hypoglycemia in the OGTT are at increased risk for suboptimal glycemic control.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION One of the approaches to diagnose Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is to detect two or more elevated values in 3-h Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) after an abnormal 50 gr Glucose Challenge Test (GCT). Patients with single elevated OGTT generally postulated as healthy; however, these patients could experience adverse perinatal and maternal issues more frequently. We aimed to investigate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with single abnormal OGTT primarily by comparing these women with healthy controls and GDM patients. Secondarily; Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) which were defined as novel inflammatory markers recently, were evaluated among these women within the first trimester and before delivery values whether these markers could use as a predictive marker of GDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was achieved in Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Education and Training Hospital between January 2016 and April 2020. Patients who had GCT and OGTT at 24th-28th weeks of gestation were reviewed. Patients with GDM, women with single elevated OGTT value, and women with normal OCT values were recruited at the study as groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Maternal-neonatal outcomes and postpartum complications were reviewed from hospital registry system. Each complication were accumulated in a group entitled peripartum complication (a patient who had more than 1 complication for example preeclampsia and acute fetal distress was added in the peripartum complication group as one patient).The novel inflammatory markers were evaluated as NLR and PLR, and thrombocyte parameters as MPV and PDW were compared within the groups, and between the groups individually in the time period of first trimester and before delivery. RESULTS A total of 10,579 patients were screened with OCT, of these a total of 1718 patients' results were between 140 mg/dl and 199 mg/dl. The numbers of the women who diagnosed GDM and who had single elevated OGTT were 508 and 469 respectively. Numbers of the patients who gave birth in our hospital and whose data were reviewed adequately were 464 in groups 1, 406 in group 2, and 768 in group 3.Patients with single elevated OGTT had increased rates of peripartum complication, acute fetal distress (AFD), IUGR, preterm delivery, cesarean delivery rate, macrosomia, labor arrest, blood component transfusion, post-partum complication and stillbirth than healthy controls. Statistical analysis of comparison between group 2 and 3 has revealed that; patients with single elevated OGTT had more peripartum complication (p = .032; odds ratio [OR] = 1.2, 95% CI: 1.02-1.54), had more babies with macrosomia (p < .001; [OR] = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.2-2.4), had more postpartum complication (p = .040; [OR] = 3, 95% CI: 0.997-9.1), and had higher cesarean rates (p < .001; [OR] = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.1-1.4).Evaluating the first trimester CBC parameters between groups; only PLR differed statistically significant in GDM patients. These parameters before delivery were also analyzed PLR and NLR values did not differ between all groups, on the other hand; MPV values were higher and PDW values were lower in healthy controls comparing GDM and single elevated OGTT group. CONCLUSION Patients with single elevated OGTT had a higher risk of maternal and neonatal consequences than women with normal OCT, which was comparable levels to patients with GDM. These patients should not be underestimated and could be classified as an individual diagnose such as "Borderline GDM." To intervene in these patients with dietary advice and lifestyle changes like exercise could decrease neonatal and maternal adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Flat oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) curve is characterized by low glucose levels, seemingly nonresponsive to glucose load. Few studies have explored flat OGTT during pregnancy and have yielded conflicting results, some suggesting risk for fetal growth restriction. This study evaluated the characteristics and perinatal outcomes of women with a flat OGTT during pregnancy. We found that a flat OGTT curve occurs in younger, leaner pregnant women. Also, flat OGTT curve was significantly associated with a male fetus and higher levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A at the first-trimester screening. Although flat OGTT can possibly reflect some degree of hyperinsulinemia, it is generally not associated with adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate if women with a low 50-g, 1-hour glucose challenge test (GCT) value are at risk for having neonates with a birth weight less than the 10th percentile. STUDY DESIGN A computerized literature search was conducted to identify studies that compared outcomes of pregnant women with a low GCT value versus women with a normal GCT value during routine screening for gestational diabetes. RESULTS Sixteen cohort studies were included for analysis. Women with a low GCT value were noted to have a 43% increased odds of having neonates with birth weight less than the 10th percentile (odds ratio [OR]: 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-1.60) and 30% increased odds of having neonates with a birth weight less than 2,500 g (OR: 1.3; 95% CI: 1.0-1.7) when compared with women with a normal GCT value. The rates of preterm delivery, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)/preeclampsia, respiratory distress, NICU, and Apgar scores less than 7 were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION A low GCT value defined as less than 90 mg/dL identifies pregnancies at elevated risk for having neonates with a birth weight less than the 10th percentile.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The antepartum oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) has re-emerged as associated with risk of diabetes among women with gestational diabetes (GDM). This systematic review summarized evidence on associations between antepartum OGTT and risk of diabetes in GDM (PROSPERO CRD42018100316). METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CENTRAL were searched from January 1, 1982 to February 2020. Studies assessing associations between antepartum OGTT and risk of diabetes among women with GDM were included. Data on study characteristics, participants, OGTT values, and diabetes outcomes were extracted. Estimates on the association between antepartum OGTT and diabetes at follow-up were recorded. Pooled odds ratios for developing diabetes were calculated by study design. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Of 6423 citations, 17 studies were included. Both elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG; OR: 3.62 ([95% CI 1.30, 10.12], I2 = 36%, p < 0.05)) and 2 h OGTT (OR: 3.96 [1.17, 13.40], I2 = 87%, p < 0.05) were associated with diabetes. These associations were attenuated (FBG: OR: 1.91 ([95% CI 0.80, 24.54], I2 = 83%, p = NS) and 1.58 ([95% CI 0.92, 2.74] I2 = 83%, p = NS) for prospective and retrospective data, respectively; 2 h OGTT: ORa: 1.95 ([95% CI 0.43, 8.93], I2 = 94%, p = NS)) after adjustments for common confounders. Further research is needed before clinical recommendations can be made.

Abstract
AIM Hyperinsulinemia is a known underlying driver of metabolic disease; however, its role in pregnancy complications is less understood due to insulin measurement not being a part of standard clinical assessments. This study aimed to characterize hyperinsulinemia in pregnancy by gestational diabetes (GD) status using Kraft methodology. METHODS We analyzed historical data from 926 pregnant women who underwent a 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which included insulin measurement. Subjects were grouped by GD diagnosis status ("Normal", "Borderline", "GD") and insulin responses over 3 h were compared between groups. RESULTS "GD" was diagnosed in 20.3% of the subjects and 13.8% were grouped as "Borderline." The prevalence of hyperinsulinemia using the Kraft algorithm was 33.1% for Kraft IIB and 42.0% for Kraft III. Compared to normal glucose-tolerant mothers, individuals from the "Borderline" group had an exacerbated insulin response, although not to the same magnitude as those with "GD." CONCLUSIONS Dynamic OGTT insulin measurement during pregnancy may provide a meaningful assessment of metabolic risk among women who would otherwise not be diagnosed with GD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT), and laboratory and clinical hyperglycemic markers. METHODS A prospective study in Holon between 2017 and 2019. Women with a singleton term delivery and one abnormal value in their last three oral glucose tolerance test measurements (OGTTs; GIGT group, n = 60) were compared with control women with normal glucose challenge test (GCT) and/or OGTT measurements (n = 60). Primary outcomes were elevated cord-blood C-peptide (>90th percentile), maternal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), abnormal HbA1c (>5.7%), and neonatal skinfold thickness. Secondary outcomes included large for gestational age (LGA). RESULTS Women in the GIGT group were older (33.3 ± 5.3 vs 31.1 ± 4.8 years; P = 0.019), and had a higher rate of LGA (26.7% vs 6.7%; P = 0.005), macrosomia (13.3% vs 0%; P = 0.006), elevated C-peptide (16.7% vs 1.7%, P = 0.008), and abnormal HbA1c (13.3% vs 0%, P = 0.006). Skinfold thickness was also significantly higher in the GIGT group. HbA1c (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 10.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-91.91; P = 0.033) and GIGT (aOR, 11.43; 95% CI, 1.78-73.39; P = 0.01) were independently associated with LGA. CONCLUSION Women with GIGT on OGTT demonstrated "hyperglycemic characteristics" relative to those with normal GCT and/or OGTT.

Abstract
CONTEXT Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an important endocrine disorder in perinatology, associated with several maternal and neonatal complications. Development of national guidelines can inform clinicians, health policymakers, and researchers about the most recent evidence and practical issues of diagnosis and management of GDM. OBJECTIVES We aimed to develop clinical practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of GDM in Iranian pregnant women. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The Iranian Endocrine Society constituted a task force, consisting of obstetrician-gynecologists, endocrinologists, a clinical nutritionist, a clinical epidemiologist, and a librarian, to review the published literature and propose national guidelines for the diagnosis and management of GDM. The consensus was reached on all recommendations in several group meetings with a majority decision. The evidence and recommendations were graded according to the American College of Physicians' Guideline Grading System. RESULTS The proposed guidelines included recommendations for screening, diagnosis, and management of GDM in Iran. CONCLUSIONS By using an evidence-based approach, these national GDM guidelines can address important clinical issues in the diagnosis and management of Iranian women with GDM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Women with only one elevated 100 g OGTT value are not considered as having gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and therefore there are no recommendations to address this population as a risk group for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to elucidate whether one elevated OGTT value increases the risk for T2DM. METHODS A retrospective population-based cohort study of women with a first diagnosis of GDM who delivered between 1991 and 2011 was conducted. Women were divided according to GDM diagnosis criteria into three groups: (1) at least two elevated values of Carpenter and Coustan criteria (C&C; N = 209), (2) At least two elevated values of the National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) criteria (NDDG2; N = 290) and (3) only one elevated value of the NDDG criteria (NDDG1; N = 226). A fourth group comprising women without GDM was included (control; N = 352). The primary outcome was the development of T2DM. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 12.4 ± 5.3 years and the mean age at follow-up was 43.0 ± 5.7 years. The rate of T2DM in the control, C&C, NDDG1 and NDDG2 groups were 5%, 18%, 19% and 31%, respectively. All GDM diagnoses were independent risk factors for T2DM in multivariable Cox regression when compared to controls, adjusted hazard ratio and 95% CI: C&C 7.8 [95% CI 3.7-16.4], NDDG1 5.5 [2.6-11.6], and NDDG2 10.5 [5.2-21.4]. Additional independent risk factors were parity, fasting and 1-h post-glucose load of the OGTT and insulin use. CONCLUSIONS Women with one elevated OGTT value using the NDDG criteria are at increased risk for T2DM. Further studies are needed to decide whether those women should be considered a focus group for long-term surveillance and T2DM prevention interventions.

Abstract
This cohort study aimed to determine the association between false-positive 50-g GCT and incidence of LGA and to evaluate predictive roles of third-trimester ultrasonographic examination. A total of 200 women with false-positive 50-g GCT and 188 women without GDM risks were enrolled. Third-trimester ultrasonographic examinations were offered. Rate of LGA during third trimester and at birth were compared between groups. Factors associated with LGA and diagnostic properties of third-trimester ultrasonography were evaluated. Incidence of LGA by third-trimester ultrasound and at birth were significantly higher in women with false-positive GCT (19.0% vs. 10.6%, p = .03 and 22% vs. 13.8%; p = .04). Factors associated with LGA included multiparity (adjusted OR 2.32, p = .01), excessive weight gain (adjusted OR 2.57, p = .01) and LGA by ultrasound (adjusted OR 9.79, p < .001). Third-trimester ultrasonography had 47.1% sensitivity, 92.1% specificity and LR + and LR- of 5.96 and 0.57 in identifying LGA infants.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? Women with abnormal GCT but normal OGTT (false positive GCT) might have some degree of glucose intolerance so that GDM-related outcomes could develop, including LGA, macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, and caesarean delivery. Roles of ultrasonography in the prediction of LGA and macrosomia has been reported with mixed results.What do the results of this study add? The results showed that the incidence of LGA, by third-trimester ultrasound and at birth, were significantly increased in women with false-positive GCT. Multiparity, excessive weight gain and LGA by third-trimester ultrasound significantly increased the risk of LGA. Third-trimester ultrasonography had 47.1% sensitivity, 92.1% specificity and LR + and LR- of 5.96 and 0.57 in identifying LGA infants.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? More intensive behavioural and dietary interventions, together with weight gain control and monitoring, may be needed in women with false-positive GCT to minimise the risk of LGA. Third trimester ultrasonographic examination might be helpful to detect and predict LGA at birth and should be included into routine clinical practice. Further studies that are more widely generalisable are needed to elucidate the relationship between false-positive GCT and adverse pregnancy outcomes and to investigate the benefits of ultrasonographic examination in the prediction of LGA and macrosomia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To examine possible markers for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in early-onset gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS A population-based retrospective cohort study of women with GDM diagnosed prior to the 24th week, who delivered between 2005 and 2018, was conducted. The results of the 50-g glucose challenge test, 100-g oral glucose tolerance test, and the first available glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were examined as markers for type 2 diabetes diagnosed 6 to 12 weeks post pregnancy, which is suggestive of pregestational diabetes. This was done by calculating the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for each marker. These markers and additional ones were evaluated for independency by stepwise multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Of 69 417 pregnancies, 3321 (5%) pregnancies were with GDM. Of them, in 261 (8%) women GDM was diagnosed prior to the 24th week, and 219 (84%) women had available data for analysis. Among them, 11 (5%) women had type 2 diabetes post pregnancy. Elevated HbA1c was the most accurate marker for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes (AUC 91% with 95% CI [81%-100%]) and the only independent marker for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in multivariate analysis (odds ratio [OR] 19; 95% CI [3.2-109], C statistic = 88%). Using the ROC curve, a cutoff of 5.8% predicted type 2 diabetes with 89% sensitivity, 86% specificity, 99.4% negative predictive value, and 23% positive predictive value. CONCLUSIONS Early-onset GDM with HbA1c ≥ 5.8% should be managed as type 2 diabetes. Definitive diagnosis should be done after delivery.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the association between an abnormal 1-h 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) followed by a normal 3-h 100-g glucose tolerance test (GTT) on fetal macrosomia and other adverse outcomes.Data sources: MEDLINE, Cochrane, clinicaltrials.gov, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to March 2019.Methods of study selection: Any studies reporting adverse perinatal and/or maternal outcomes in women with an abnormal 50-g 1-h glucose challenge test (GCT) followed by a normal 3-h, 100-g glucose tolerance test (GTT) were included. Studies were critically appraised by three independent reviewers. Outcomes included fetal macrosomia, cesarean delivery, preeclampsia, birth weight, neonatal hypoglycemia, shoulder dystocia, NICU admission, respiratory morbidity, and low Apgar score. A random-effects model was employed to calculate pooled odds ratios (OR) for each outcome with their 95% confidence intervals (CI) and 95% predictive intervals (PI).Tabulation, integration, and results: We identified 30 studies comprising 18,067 patients with a normal 3-h GTT after an abnormal 1-h GCT (study group) and 117,091 patients with a normal 1-h, 50-g GCT (comparison group). Patients in the study group had an increased risk of macrosomia (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.48-1.91, 27 studies, 132,027 patients), cesarean delivery (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.30-1.48, 24 studies, 128,495 women), preeclampsia (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.15-1.91, 17 studies, 110,930 patients), hypoglycemia (OR 1.43, CI 1.07-1.91) and shoulder dystocia (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.09-2.12, 9 studies, 41,229 patients). Neonatal birth weight was significantly higher in the study group. The incidence of NICU admission, low Apgar score, and respiratory morbidity was similar in the two groups. Controlling for body mass index and 1-h glucose screen cut off did not alter these results.Conclusion: Even in the absence of gestational diabetes, patients who fail the GCT test are at mildly increased risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity including macrosomia, cesarean delivery, preeclampsia, and shoulder dystocia.

Abstract
PURPOSE A glycemic control marker to predict neonatal diabetic complications is unavailable. We aimed to examine if 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG) can predict neonatal complications in women with diabetes in pregnancy. METHODS Prospective observational study from December 2011 to August 2013. We recruited 105 women, 70 diabetic (gestational and pregestational) and 35 nondiabetic. 1,5-AG at birth was compared between the two groups. In the diabetic group 1,5-AG, HbA1c, and fructosamine were measured before glycemic control initiation (first visit), after 4-6 weeks (second visit), and at delivery. Women were divided to poor (1,5-AG values below median at birth) and good (1,5-AG values at median and above) glycemic control groups. Mean daily glucose charts were collected. The primary outcome was a composite of neonatal diabetic complications: respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, and large for gestational age. RESULTS Mean 1,5-AG in the nondiabetic group was similar to that of the diabetic group without the composite outcome and was significantly higher than in the diabetic group with the composite outcome. The rate of the composite outcome was higher in the poor glycemic control group compared with the good glycemic control group (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.8 95% CI [1.2-12.3]). Only 1,5-AG was inversely associated with the composite outcome at all time points; the second visit was the only independent risk factor in multivariable logistic regression (OR 0.7 95% CI 0.54-0.91). The rest of the glycemic markers were not associated with neonatal composite outcome. CONCLUSIONS 1,5-AG is inversely associated with neonatal diabetic complications and is superior to other glycemic markers in predicting those complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with one abnormal value (OAV) in a 100 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during pregnancy are reported to have an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, there is limited data about whether women with OAV will progress to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) when the OGTT is repeated. METHODS To identify clinical and metabolic predictors for GDM in women with OAV, we conducted a retrospective study and identified women with OAV in the OGTT done at 24 to 30 weeks gestational age (GA) and repeated the second OGTT between 32 and 34 weeks of GA. RESULTS Among 137 women with OAV in the initial OGTT, 58 (42.3%) had normal, 40 (29.2%) had OAV and 39 (28.5%) had GDM in the second OGTT. Maternal age, prepregnancy body mass index, weight gain from prepregnancy to the second OGTT, GA at the time of the OGTT, and parity were similar among normal, OAV, and GDM groups. Plasma glucose levels in screening tests were different (151.8±15.7, 155.8±14.6, 162.5±20.3 mg/dL, P<0.05), but fasting, 1-, 2-, and 3-hour glucose levels in the initial OGTT were not. Compared to women with screen negative, women with untreated OAV had a higher frequency of macrosomia. CONCLUSION We demonstrated that women with OAV in the initial OGTT significantly progressed to GDM in the second OGTT. Clinical parameters predicting progression to GDM were not found. Repeating the OGTT in women with OAV in the initial test may be helpful to detect GDM progression.

[PMID: 30982004 DOI: 10.1515/jpm-2019-0013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2019] [Accepted: 03/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
Objectives To evaluate whether gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosed by different criteria impacts perinatal outcome. Methods This was a retrospective study of deliveries with a diagnosis of GDM (2014-2016). Perinatal outcomes were compared between patients with: (1) GDM diagnosed according to a single abnormal value on the 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); (2) two or more abnormal OGTT values; and (3) a 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) value ≥200 mg/dL. Results A total of 1163 women met the inclusion criteria, of whom 441 (37.9%) were diagnosed according to a single abnormal OGTT value, 627 (53.9%) had two or more abnormal OGTT values and 95 (8.17%) had a GCT value ≥200 mg/dL. Diet-only treatment was significantly higher in the single abnormal value group (70.3% vs. 65.1% vs. 50.5%) and rates of medical treatment were significantly higher in the GCT ≥ 200 mg/dL group (P < 0.05). Women in the GCT ≥ 200 mg/dL group had higher rates of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission (10.5% vs. 2.7% vs. 2.8%, P < 0.001) and neonatal hypoglycemia (5.3% vs. 0.5% vs. 0.8%, P < 0.001). On multivariate logistic regression, GCT ≥ 200 mg/dL was no longer associated with higher rates of NICU admission and neonatal hypoglycemia (P > 0.05). Conclusion No difference was noted in the perinatal outcome amongst the different methods used for diagnosing GDM.

Evaluating the effects of mobile health intervention on weight management, glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. J Endocrinol Invest 2019; 42:709-714. [PMID: 30406378 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-018-0975-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2018] [Accepted: 10/31/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the effects of mobile health (mHealth) intervention on pregnancy weight management, blood glucose control and pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A total of 124 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were selected. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. The 60 patients in the control group received standard outpatient treatment, while the remaining 64 patients received a nurse's online guidance both through a mobile medical App installed on their phone and through regular offline clinical treatment in the mHealth group. Patients were treated for an average of 13 weeks and general conditions, compliance, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, weight gain, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes were monitored in both groups longitudinally. RESULTS The mHealth group demonstrated higher levels of compliance (83.3 ± 12.5% vs. 70.4 ± 10.1%, t = - 6.293, df = 122, p < 0.001), lower frequency of outpatient service (8.1 ± 1.3 vs. 11.2 ± 1.1, t = 14.285, df = 122, p < 0.001), lower hemoglobin A1C before delivery (4.7 ± 0.2 vs. 5.3 ± 0.3, t = 13.216, df = 122, p < 0.001) as well as the rates of off-target measurements both fasting (4.6 ± 0.4% vs. 8.3 ± 0.6%, t = 40.659, df = 122, p < 0.001) and 2 h post-prandial (7.9 ± 0.7% vs. 14.7 ± 0.8%, t = 50.746, df = 122, p < 0.001). Weight gain in the mHealth group was less than control group (3.2 ± 0.8 vs. 4.8 ± 0.7, t = 11.851, df = 122 p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Mobile health intervention management of gestational diabetes mellitus improves patients' compliance and blood glucose control, and reduces weight gain, thereby reducing the rates of complications in both pregnant women and fetuses during delivery during pregnancy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether induction of labor (IOL), as compared with expectant management, in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) mothers at term (between 370/7 and 406/7), decreases caesarean section (CS) rate and the rate of adverse composite neonatal outcomes. METHODS A retrospective cohort study, of all women with GDM and a singleton gestation who delivered at term in a single, tertiary, university-affiliated medical center (2007-2014). We compared outcomes of women who underwent IOL at each week of gestation between 370/7 and 406/7 weeks with women who were managed expectantly. The primary outcome was CS rate. RESULTS Overall, 2472 GDM patients included in the study, of which 880 women had IOL. CS rate was not found to be significantly different between the groups at any gestational age. IOL at 37 weeks was associated with adverse composite neonatal outcome (aOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.4-3.6) and NICU admission (aOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.4-4.4). At 38 weeks, with NICU admission (aOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.4-2.9), and at 39 weeks with fracture of the clavicle. In a sub-analysis of nulliparous women, IOL at 37 weeks had higher odds of NICU admission and adverse composite neonatal outcomes, at 38 weeks with CS and at 39 weeks with fracture of the clavicle. CONCLUSIONS IOL in GDM mothers at term does not reduce CS rate and may be associated with increased CS rate among nulliparous women at 38 weeks. It is also associated with increased risk for adverse composite neonatal outcome or NICU admission when done prior to 390/7 weeks.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of vacuum-assisted vaginal deliveries (VAD) among neonates of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Study design: Retrospective cohort study of women with singleton gestation ≥37 + 0 weeks of gestation who underwent VAD at a single, tertiary, medical center (2007-2014). Women with GDM and their neonates were compared to women without diabetes and their neonates. Composite neonatal outcome was defined as ≥1 of the following: shoulder dystocia, 5-min Apgar score <7, asphyxia, seizure, subgaleal, subarachnoid or subdural hemorrhage, fracture of the clavicle, humerus or skull, or Erb's palsy. Results: Overall, 251 (5.2%) women with GDM were compared with 4534 (94.8%) women without GDM. Women with GDM were older, delivered earlier, with higher rates of mild preeclampsia and induction of labor. Their neonates had higher mean birth weight percentile, and higher rates of hypoglycemia, phototherapy, fracture of the humerus (3.2 versus 1.1%, aOR 2.95, 95%CI 1.38-6.30), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (1.2 versus 0.3%, aOR 4.56, 95%CI 1.28-16.26). No difference was found with regards to the composite neonatal outcome (9.2 versus 11.1%, p = .34). Conclusions: GDM is associated with a higher risk for certain birth injuries in VAD at ≥37 + 0 weeks of gestation, yet the overall risk of adverse neonatal outcomes is comparable to women without GDM.
