Abstract:
Purpose:To compare pregnancy complications between the 2 groups of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM): those diagnosed by the 1-step method and those diagnosed by the 2-step method.
Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, the data from outpatient and hospitalization medical records of 201 patients diagnosed with GDM between 2013 and 2017 were reviewed. We compared the pregnancy complications of these patients based on whether they were diagnosed by the 1-step or 2-step method. SPSS ver. 20.0 was used to analyze the data from the 2 groups. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the pregnancy outcomes were estimated using binary logistic regression analysis.
Results:On comparing pregnancy-related complications between the groups, there was no significant difference in the incidence of preeclampsia or delivery by cesarean section (p>0.99 and p=0.50, respectively). In the 1-step and 2-step groups, the prevalence of premature birth was significantly high at 19.7 % and 40.3% (p=0.01), respectively. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of macrosomia, large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA), low APGAR score, and neonatal hypoglycemia (p>0.99, p>0.26, p>0.62, p>0.57, and p>0.45, respectively).
Conclusion:On comparing the 2 groups, we found that the 1-step and 2-step GDM groups had similar risks of pregnancy complications, namely preeclampsia, delivery by cesarean section, macrosomia, LGA, SGA, low APGAR scores, and neonatal hypoglycemia.
