ABSTRACT
Objective To screen the abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women without diabetes and to give early intervention to reduce perinatal maternal and fetal adverse complications.Methods 2 579 pregnant women who received obstetric examination and revealed no diabetes,underwent GCT screening and OGTr reexamination.The results confirmed the 263 GIGT patients,22 GDM patients.They were givien intervention therapy until delivery and their pregnancy outcome was compared with the normal pregnant women.Results The pregnancy outcome of GIGT pregnant women received intervention and the normal pregnant women had no significant difference.The incidence rates of macrosomia and cesarean section in GDM group were higher than those of normal pregnant women (P ＜0.05,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Development of gestational abnormal glucose tolerance screening is important to the early diagnosis and intervention of potential IGT,GDM patients,which can significantly reduce the incidence rate of maternal and fetal adverse complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between early pregnancy fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and gestational glucose metabolism disorders. Methods Six hundred and fifty-six pregnant women who were singleton, non-diabetes before pregnancy and had FPG examined during 5-13 weeks of pregnancy were admitted into this study from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009. All these subjects had routine prenatal examination and finally delivered in the Department of Obstetrics of Peking University First Hospital. The FPG, 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) after 24 weeks of pregnancy, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM),gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) were analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results (1) Relationship between FPG and GCT were analyzed with ROC curve.The maximum area under curve was 0. 539 (95% CI: 0. 493-0. 586) and there was no correlation between the FPG and GCT results(P=0. 057). (2) Relationship between early pregnancy FPG and abnormal FPG examined after 24 gestational weeks were also analyzed . The maximum area under curve was 0. 796(95% CI: 0. 672-0. 920). If 5. 05 mmol/L was taken as the cutoff value, the sensitivity and specificity was 54. 5% and 83. 2%, respectively. There was significant relationship between the two values (r=0. 432, P=0. 000). (3) There were no relationship between early pregnancy FPG and the blood glucose value of 1, 2 and 3 h in 75 g OGTT (r=0. 093, 0. 036 and 0. 107, P=0.122, 0. 549 and 0. 074 respectively). OGTT 0 h value was positively related to OGTT 1, 2 and3 h glucose level (r=0.493, 0.421 and 0.368, P=0.000, respectively). (4) All early pregnant FPG values in this study were under 6.1 mmol/L. Twenty-two GDM and 27 GIGT patients were diagnosed in this study. Early pregnancy FPG did not relate to the GDM and GIGT diagnosis.Conclusions Early pregnancy FPG could not replace 50 g GCT as an early screening for glucose metabolic abnormality in pregnancy, but FPG during early pregnancy is necessary.
