Purpose: Our previous studies have suggested that the first trimester fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and is a predictor of GDM. The aim of the present study was to provide valuable insights into the accuracy of the first trimester FPG level in the screening and diagnosis of GDM in southern China.
Methods: This retrospective study included pregnant women who had their first trimester FPG level recorded at 9-13 weeks and underwent screening for GDM using the 2-h 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between the 24th and 28th gestational weeks.
Article Synopsis
- The purpose of the study was to explore how first-trimester fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels relate to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and other negative pregnancy outcomes in a population of 48,444 pregnant women from Shenzhen, using data collected from 2017 to 2019.
- The findings highlighted that the average first-trimester FPG was 4.62 mmol/L and revealed that 14.4% of participants developed GDM, with significant correlations between higher FPG levels and various complications like cesarean sections and larger newborns (LGA).
- A nomogram model was created to predict GDM risk based on first-trimester FPG levels, demonstrating
