BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preeclampsia and macrosomia. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at increased risk of developing GDM. Today, GDM is diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a rather cumbersome test for the women and health care system. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether...

The International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) was formed in 1998 as an umbrella organization to facilitate collaboration between the various regional and national groups that have a primary or significant focus on diabetes and pregnancy. The principal objectives of IADPSG are to foster an international approach to enhancing the quality of care, facilitating resea...

BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is crucial to prevent short term delivery risks and long term effects such as cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in the mother and infant. Diagnosing GDM in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) however, remains sub-optimal due to associated logistical and cost barriers for resource-constrained populations. A cost-effective strategy to scr...

BACKGROUND To reduce the number of patients needing oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), screening options have been considered, balancing patient comfort, cost and risk of missed diagnosis. Australian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society (ADIPS) recommends glucose challenge test (GCT) as screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), while others suggest fasting plasma glucose (FPG). International...

Abstract Background In 2010, the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) proposed new criteria indicating that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can be diagnosed if fasting threshold ≤92 mg/dL, 1-h ≤180 or 2-h ≤153 mg/dL are exceeded during 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed at 24–28 weeks gestation. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommend...

background: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is common during pregnancy. this survey was designed based on the frequency of gdm among an urban population according to the american diabetes association (ada) and the international association of diabetes and pregnancy study groups (iadpsg) criteria.   methods : we included all pregnant women who were admitted to a gynecology clinic from septem...

OBJECTIVE To determine the highest 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) value that indicates no further diagnostic test is needed to confirm a diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) under the criteria of National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) or the Carpenter and Coustan (C&C) and fasting glucose thresholds from the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG). ...

OBJECTIVE We compared the increases in the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on the 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria and its risk factors in Tianjin, China, over a 12-year period. We also examined the changes in the prevalence using the criteria of International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG). METHODS In 2010-2012, 18589 women who...

background: there is a long lasting dilemma over the ideal screening and diagnostic method in gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm). even though universal screening is commonly practiced, selective screening based on risk factors is also practiced in some center. the aim of this study is to evaluate the most appropriate method to screen gdm in high‑risk pregnant women in sri lanka. methods: this ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the association between levels of hyperglycemia, determined by each prenatal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) value (fasting, 1 and 2 h), and maternal and perinatal outcomes and to determine whether the risk for these outcomes differs for women whose value(s) equaled or exceeded the thresholds for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) established by the International Associ...
