Article Synopsis
- Gestational diabetes (GDM) and preexisting diabetes increase the risk of pre-eclampsia, which can lead to serious complications for both mothers and babies.
- The study analyzed 2050 pregnant women, finding that women with GDM or diabetes before pregnancy had higher rates of pre-eclampsia compared to healthy women; socio-economic status and previous pregnancy history significantly influenced these risks.
- Serum biomarkers like SHBG, IGF-I, and vitamin D levels were not effective predictors of pre-eclampsia, but a risk score model identified some women at higher risk, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.68 suggesting moderate predictive capability.
