Background: We aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the associations between iron metabolism and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by examining multiple iron-related indicators.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study involving 907 Chinese pregnant women. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum concentrations of iron-related indicators during the first trimester (≤ 14 weeks of gestation).
Background: Previous studies of maternal iron and birth outcomes have been limited to single indicators that do not reflect the comprehensive relationship with birth outcomes. We aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal iron metabolism and neonatal anthropometric indicators using comprehensive iron-related indicators.
Methods: A total of 914 Chinese mother-child dyads were enrolled in this prospective study.
Background And Aims: The association between serum concentrations of metal nutrients in pregnancy and postpartum anemia has not been widely studied. This study aimed to determine this association in a large retrospective cohort study.
Methods: We included 14,829 Chinese women with singleton pregnancies.
Background: Thyroid function is known to be closely linked with type 2 diabetes, but data on the association between thyroid function and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are inconsistent.
Methods: A total of 2849 pregnant women were included in this retrospective study. Serum concentrations of thyroid indicators (free tetraiodothyronine, FT4; thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH; and thyroid peroxidase antibody, TPO Ab) were obtained from a clinical laboratory.
