OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether one-step gestational diabetes screening recommended by The International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) is associated with better maternal, perinatal, or neonatal outcomes than the two-step Carpenter-Coustan screening. METHODS In this before-after retrospective cohort study conducted between July 1, 2010, and December 31, 2013, we...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION To evaluate the glycometabolism and outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS According to the results of a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, 1,683 pregnant women were divided into three groups: (i) an increment GDM group (patients...

The Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study showed significant perinatal risks at levels of maternal hyperglycemia below values that are diagnostic for diabetes. A Consensus Panel of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) reviewed HAPO Study results and other work that examined associations of maternal glycemia with perinatal and long-term...

OBJECTIVE The two-step approach recommended by the National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG), Carpenter and Coustan (C&C), and O'Sullivan, and the single-step approach recommended by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) are used to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed to determine GDM prevalence and to compare the two-step and single-step appr...

BACKGROUND Two criteria based on a 2 h 75 g OGTT are being used for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes (GDM), those recommended over the years by the World Health Organization (WHO), and those recently recommended by the International Association for Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG), the latter generated in the HAPO study and based on pregnancy outcomes. Our aim is to systematicall...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The prevalence and characteristics of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have changed over time, reflecting the nutritional transition and changes in diagnostic criteria. We aimed to evaluate characteristics of women with GDM over a 20-year interval. DESIGN AND SETTING: Comparison of two pregnancy cohorts enrolled in different periods, in university hospitals in Porto ...

CONTEXT Genetic variation in human maternal DNA contributes to the susceptibility for development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). OBJECTIVE We assessed 77 maternal single nucleotide gene polymorphisms (SNPs) for associations with GDM or plasma glucose levels at OGTT in pregnancy. METHODS 960 pregnant women (after dropouts 820: case/control: m99'WHO: 303/517, IADPSG: 287/533) were en...

U sing a large retrospective study in Arab (80.1%) and South Asian (15.5%) pregnant women, Agarwal et al. (1) questioned the helpfulness of the full 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), as recommended by the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (2). The IADPSG proposes measuring fasting plasma g...

Recent Italian guidelines exclude women <35 years old, without risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), from screening for GDM. To determine the effectiveness of these measures with respect to the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria, we evaluated 2,448 pregnant women retrospectively enrolled in Calabria, southern Italy. GDM was dia...

AimsTo evaluate the impact adoption of International Association Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria on prevalence gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risks perinatal outcomes.MethodsRetrospectively, 155,103 women screened with selective two step in Switzerland period 1 (2005–2010) were compared to 170,427 IADPSG 2 (2012–2017).
