First Trimester Potential Biochemical Predictive Tests for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review

Prevalence of Gestational diabetes mellitus in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine rates and factors associated with recurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among women with a history of GDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a systematic literature review of articles published between January 1965 and November 2006, in which recurrence rates of GDM among women with a history of GDM were reported. Factors a...

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Africa: A Systematic Review

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is any degree of impaired glucose tolerance first recognised during pregnancy. Most women with GDM revert to normal glucose metabolism after delivery of their babies; however, they are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life as are their offspring. Determining a country's GDM prevalence can assist with policy guidelines regarding GDM sc...

First-trimester biomarkers for early prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs in approximately 7% of all pregnant women. In order to minimize the risk of GDM-associated complications, it is still very important to identify novel biomarkers for early prediction of GDM, particularly in the first trimester. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the clinical implications of first-trimester biomarkers, including sex h...

[First-trimester biochemical markers and small-for-gestational-age infants].

INTRODUCTION Several studies suggested an association between first trimester biochemical markers (PAPP-A and ß-HCG) and infants below 10th percentile. Our goal was to describe this relationship of biochemical markers with small-for-gestational-age fetuses in our population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analytic study of 2 035 pregnant women that underwent first-trimester screening in t...

Predictive parameters of gestational diabetes mellitus.

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a carbohydrate intolerance recognized in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of all deliveries at the University Hospital Rijeka, Croatia (34 997 deliveries over 10-year period) using 2-hour 75 g oral glucose tolerant test and to evaluate the impact of GDM on neonatal outcomes and mother's...
