In 2010, the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) panel published consensus-based recommendations on the diagnosis and classification of hyperglycemia in pregnancy (1). Within that document, the recommendations regarding early pregnancy testing were designed to facilitate early detection and treatment of hyperglycemia (HbA1c $6.5% [48 mmol/mol], fasting ...

Objective: Our aim in this study is to compare pregnancy and fetal outcomes following the diagnosis of gestational diabetes according HAPO/IADPSG, NICE criteria or when using both criteria. Methods: Diagnosis GDM was made lowest recommended cut off values HAPO/IADPSG guidelines were used management once diagnosed. The three groups compared, Group A: patients diagnosed any criteria, B: only from...

And so, to a greater or lesser extent, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) continues to provide something for everyone. The implications of recent publications can be interpreted, argued, and adapted in many ways. The observational Hyperglycemia and Adverse PregnancyOutcome (HAPO) study (1) and the consensus agreement about new diagnostic criteria by the International Association of the Diabete...

OBJECTIVE To report frequencies of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among the 15 centers that participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) Study using the new International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS All participants underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test between 24 and 32 weeks' gest...

Background. Gestational diabetes (GDM) affects up to 7% of pregnant women and is associated with several maternal and perinatal morbidities. International organizations suggest several different recommendations regarding how to screen and to manage GDM. Objective. We aimed to analyze the most important and employed guidelines about screening and management of GDM and we investigated existing re...

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently released a new classification and diagnostic criteria for hyperglycemia first diagnosed in pregnancy (1). These new criteria are an update of the 1999 WHO criteria, which defined gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) as diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance with onset or first recognition in pregnancy. This definition was not based on a review of ...

BACKGROUND Although the onset of gestational diabetes (GDM) is known to be a significant risk factor for the future development of type 2 diabetes, this risk specifically in women with GDM diagnosed by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study was performed to investigate the risk factors associated...

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing and is a risk for type 2 diabetes. Evidence supporting screening comes mostly from high-income countries. We aimed to determine prevalence and outcomes in urban Viet Nam. We compared the proposed International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criterion, requiring one positive value on the 75-g glucose to...

BACKGROUND There is lack of consensus concerning the best screening strategy for gestational diabetes (GDM). The aim of our survey was therefore to investigate attitudes and practices of all obstetrical centers in the northern part of Belgium regarding screening for pregestational diabetes in early pregnancy and screening for GDM. We also aimed to identify the penetrance of the 'International A...

This debate received renewed attention in 2010 when the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) recommended revisions to existing diagnostic criteria and screening protocols used to identify women with GDM. The revised screening guidelines would allow for earlier detection of maternal hyperglycemia and undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and would lower the diagnostic ...
