Abstract:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of suffering diverse adverse pregnancy outcomes, threating maternal and child health seriously, with an increasing incidence rate year by year. However, the exact cause of GDM is still unknown. Prospective cohort studies obtain data through follow-up, which is helpful to clarify the causal relationship, so as to draw more accurate and reliable conclusions. In recent years, numerous prospective cohort studies on the GDM have emerged. This article elaborates along the occurrence and development process of GDM, in order to provide useful reference for the establishment of relevant high-quality prospective cohort studies in China.
