Abstract

Aim:

To assess the power of risk factors to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus.

Methods:

In this prospective study, approximately 500 women recruited in two departments that130 parturients with complete documents recruited in both groups (normal pregnancy and GDM). Gestational diabetes was confirmed at 24-28 weeks of gestation by one-step strategy.

Results:

Preexistene of risk factors; were more common in GDM group (94.4%; P-value = 0.001) due to ADA criteria. Diagnosis gestational age of the GDM group who have 1 risk factor (169) were as follows: 18 (14.6%) patients diagnosed in 24-28 weeks of gestation, 32 (26%) after 28 and the others (59.3%) before 24 weeks of gestation. In comparison between two groups, GDM have higher frequency of 2 risk factors and more; than the normal group (72% vs. 46%, p-value <0.001) (risk factors categorization: 0 or 1 instead of 2 risk factors and more). By determining final diagnosis as a dependent variable between maternal age, Pre-BMI, parity, abortion, family history of DM, history of GDM and education; we had found significant relationship between diagnosis and maternal age, education, family history of DM and history of GDM.

Conclusions:

We could suggest that the diagnosis gestational age of the GDM before 24 weeks of gestation may could reduce the maternal and fetal complications. Between the risk factors; maternal age, family history of DM and history of GDM were the more important to guide the GDM diagnosis.
