ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the results of one-day care for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy outcome after application of new diagnostic criteria.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of a GDM group (n=841) and a normal glucose metabolism group (n=3 043) who delivered in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Peking University First Hospital between July 1,2011 and June 30,2012,to discuss the difference in maternal and newborn outcomes between these two groups,and to compare the maternal and newborn outcomes between the GDM one-day care group (study group,n=605) and non-GDM one-day care group (control group,n=236).Statistical analysis was performed by t test and x2 test.Results The average age of pregnant women with GDM was (31.5±4.2) years,which was higher than the normal glucose metabolism group (30.0±3.7) years (t=9.13,P＜0.01).The average age of the study group was (31.7±4.2) years,and the average age of the control group was (31.7±4.9) years,which was not a significant difference (t=2.32,P＞0.05).In the oral glucose tolerance test,fasting blood glucose level was (5.2±0.5) mmol/L,which was significantly lower than that in the control group (5.3±0.8) mmol/L (t=2.48,P＜0.05).The difference between 1 and 2 h glucose sugar levels did not differ significantly (P＞0.05) between the two groups.In the GDM and normal glucose metabolism groups of pregnant women,the incidence of macrosomia was 6.5％ (55/841) and 5.9％ (182/3 043),respectively,although the difference was not significant (x2=0.36,P＞0.05).In the GDM group,the rate of premature delivery was significantly higher than in the normal glucose metabolism group [preterm birth10.1％ (83/841) and 7.4％ (225/3 043),x2=5.56; P＜0.05)].In the GDM group,gestational hypertension and mild pre-eclampsia were significantly more frequent than in the normal glucose metabolism group [gestational hypertension4.2％ (35/841) vs 2.6％ (82/3 043),x2=4.85; mild pre-eclampsia1.7％ (14/841) vs 0.9％ (26/3 043),x2=4.24; P＜0.05].The incidence of severe pre-eclampsia was 2.4％ (20/841) and 1.6％ (49/3 043),respectively,which was not significantly different (x2=2.22,P＞0.05) between the two groups.The rate of insulin use was 9.3％ (78/841) in the GDM group.In the study group,the rate of insulin use was 7.9％ (48/605),compared with 11.9％ (28/236) in the control group; this difference was not significant (x2=3.54,P＞0.05).In the study group,the incidence of macrosomia and hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDP) was similar to that in the control group [macrosomia6.9％ (42/605) vs 5.3％ (13/236),respectively; x2=0.57; HDP7.4％ (45/605) vs 9.9％ (24/236),x2=1.68; P＜0.05].The rate of premature delivery in the study group was significantly lower than in the control group [7.2％ (44/605) vs 16.0％ (38/236),x2=15.04,P＜0.05].In the study group,among the 561 cases of term birth,there were 42 cases of macrosomia.The average age of macrosomic and non-macrosomic pregnant women [(31.4±3.9) vs (31.7±4.2) years,t=4.27],pre-pregnancy body mass index [(23.5±3.9) vs (22.6±3.2),t=1.58],gestational weight gain [(16.1±5.6) vs (15.7± 11.4) kg,t=0.22] and pregnant weeks at visit to a one-day care clinic [(27.5 ± 4.3) vs (28.1 ± 2.8) weeks,t=0.86; P＞0.05] showed no significant differences.In women who delivered an infant with macrosomia,glycosylated hemoglobin levels in mid and late pregnancy were higher than in woman who did not deliver an infant with macrosomia [(5.6±0.4) ％ vs (5.4±0.4) ％,t=2.13,P＜0.05].Conclusions Through one-day care for GDM,the rate of preterm labor is reduced.This is a good model for group management of GDM women,and more efforts is required to improve its effect.
