Ethnic Differences in Characteristics of Women Diagnosed with Early Gestational Diabetes: Findings from the TOBOGM Study.

Objective: To compare the prevalence and clinical characteristics of early gestational diabetes (eGDM) and associated birth outcomes amongst women of different ethnic groups.

Research Design And Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an international, multicentre randomized controlled trial of treating eGDM among pregnant women with GDM risk factors enrolled <20 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis of GDM was made using WHO-2013 criteria.

Effect of a multidisciplinary team approach on the management of diabetic foot ulcers on the Central Coast: A review of the Gosford Hospital High-Risk Foot Clinic.

This retrospective cohort study aims to assess whether the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach in the Gosford Hospital High-Risk Foot Clinic improved outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers. Ulceration is a common foot complication of diabetes mellitus and greatly increases patient morbidity and mortality. Patients who attended at least one appointment at the Gosford Hospital High-Risk Foot Clinic in 2017 or 2019 were identified through the Gosford Hospital Podiatry department's records.

IDF Diabetes Atlas: The prevalence of pre-existing diabetes in pregnancy - A systematic reviewand meta-analysis of studies published during 2010-2020.

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of pre-existing diabetes in pregnancy from studies published during 2010-2020.

Methods: We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and other sources for relevant data sources. The prevalence of overall pre-existing, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, by country, region and period of study was synthesised from included studies using the inverse-variance heterogeneity model and the Freeman-Tukey transformation.

IDF Diabetes Atlas: Estimation of Global and Regional Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Prevalence for 2021 by International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group's Criteria.

Aims: The approaches used to screen and diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) vary widely. We generated a comparable estimate of the global and regional prevalence of GDM by International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG)'s criteria.

Methods: We searched PubMed and other databases and retrieved 57 studies to estimate the prevalence of GDM.

Comparison of Pregnancy Outcomes Using Different Gestational Diabetes Diagnostic Criteria and Treatment Thresholds in Multiethnic Communities between Two Tertiary Centres in Australian and New Zealand: Do They Make a Difference?

Introduction: Australia, but not New Zealand (NZ), has adopted the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria to diagnose gestational diabetes (GDM). We compared pregnancy outcomes using these different diagnostic approaches.

Method: Prospective data of women with GDM were collected from one NZ (NZ) and one Australian (Aus) hospital between 2007-2018.

Projections of the prevalence of hyperglycaemia in pregnancy in 2019 and beyond: Results from the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, 9th edition.

Aim: Hyperglycaemia in pregnancy (HIP) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. This study aims to examine the projected HIP prevalence in 2030 and 2045 using multiple methods.

Methods: The International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas 2019 prevalence was projected to 2030 and 2045 by: (1) carrying forward the 2019 age-adjusted prevalence rates; (2) applying a linear regression of the past four editions of the IDF Diabetes Atlas; (3) applying a regression of the previous editions with the most consistent trend, followed by extrapolation from the 9th edition HIP estimate.

Hypoglycaemia on an oral glucose tolerance test in pregnancy - Is it clinically significant?

Aim: During pregnancy, some women have a low glucose level on the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The implications of this are unclear and there is no guideline on how to manage these women.

Method: We recruited pregnant women with a glucose level <3.

Ethnic Disparities in Gestational Diabetes.

Purpose Of Review: Ethnicity has long been described as a major risk factor for the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and it is widely recognised that women from ethnicities other than Europids are at higher risk of developing GDM. There are also described differences between ethnicities in key GDM pregnancy outcomes. This review describes some of the factors that relate to the ethnic disparities in GDM.

Gestational diabetes mellitus: Challenges for different ethnic groups.

Ethnicity is defined as "belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition". Membership of certain ethnic groups has long been associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Studies that examined ethnic differences amongst women with GDM were often conducted in western countries where women from various ethnic backgrounds were represented.
