Risk factors for abnormal postpartum glycemic states in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the rate of postpartum glycemic screening tests (PGST) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to investigate risk factors for abnormal PGST results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the obstetric data of 1,648 women with GDM who gave b...

Sumario:AIMS/INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the rate of postpartum glycemic screening tests (PGST) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to investigate risk factors for abnormal PGST results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the obstetric data of 1,648 women with GDM who gave birth after 28 completed weeks of gestation between 1 July 2011 and 31 December 2019 at Taipei Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. GDM was diagnosed by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. PGST was carried out at 6–12 weeks postpartum with a 75‐g, 2‐h oral glucose tolerance test, and the results were classified into normal, prediabetes and diabetes mellitus. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the associations between various risk factors and abnormal PGST results. RESULTS: In total, 493 (29.9%) women underwent PGST and 162 (32.9%) had abnormal results, including 135 (27.4%) with prediabetes and 27 (5.5%) with diabetes mellitus. Significant risk factors for postpartum diabetes mellitus included insulin therapy during pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 10.79, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.07–28.58), birthweight >4,000 g (adjusted OR 10.22, 95% CI 1.74–59.89) and preterm birth <37 weeks’ gestation (adjusted OR 3.33, 95% CI 1.09–10.22); whereas prepregnancy body mass index >24.9 kg/m(2) (adjusted OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.24–3.21) was the major risk factor for postpartum prediabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Less than one‐third of women with GDM underwent PGST, and nearly one‐third of these women had abnormal results. Future efforts should focus on reducing the barriers to PGST in women with GDM.
