Objective To investigate the effect of collaborative care model on diseases attitude and self-efficacy of patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods Ninety-six cases of patients with chronic hepatitis B were selected. Forty-seven cases who were hospitalized from June 2015 to December 2015 were seemed as the control group, while 49 cases who were hospitalized from January 2016 to June 2016 were seemed as the collaboration group. Patients in control group were accepted routine care measures for chronic hepatitis B. Patients in collaboration group were accepted collaboration care measure on the basis of routine care, including patient assessment and collaboration care program development, health knowledge for patients and their families guiding and basic skills training, and psychological guidance intervention. Respectively, at admitting to hospital and after intervention 4 weeks, the diseases attitude of patients with chronic hepatitis B diseases, self-care ability and self-efficacy were assessed. Results There were no significant differences in attitude score, self-care ability score, self-efficacy score before intervention between two groups (P>0.05). They were improved after intervention compared with before intervention, the difference was statistically significant (t=3.197-25.376, P<0.01 or 0.05). The attitude in the face, avoid and give up score respectively in collaborative nursing group after intervention were (28.2±5.3), (9.8±4.2), (5.1±1.7) points, and (23.4±4.1), (14.1±3.8), (8.2±1.9) points in control group, the difference was statistically significant (t = 4.393, 4.220, 9.285, P < 0.01). The health knowledge of self-care ability, self-care skill, since the sense of responsibility, self-concept scale in collaborative nursing group after intervention were (48.2±3.4), (39.5±4.0), (33.1±5.5), (29.1±3.7) points, and (39.4±4.2), (30.2± 3.5), (24.7±4.8), (25.2±3.5) points in control group, the difference was statistically significant (t=5.137-11.286, P<0.01). The self-efficacy in each entry score and total score in collaborative nursing group were (3.4 ± 0.7), (31.5 ± 4.6) points and (2.8 ± 0.4), (20.7 ± 5.1) points in control group, the difference were statistically significant (t=5.288, 14.579, P<0.01). Conclusions Collaborative care model could help chronic hepatitis B patients to establish correct disease attitude, improve self-care ability and enhance self-efficacy.

Objective To explore the long term effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)on offsprings of affected women.Methods One hundred and twenty-four singleton pregnant women with GDM,who delivered in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Peking University First Hospital from June 14,2006 to December 31,2007,were enrolled as the study group.Ninety-eight singleton pregnant women with normal glucose metabolism who delivered at the corresponding period were enrolled as the control group.The follow-up study was performed from November 6,2010 to January 31,2011 on their offsprings.Anthropometry indexes,including height,weight,waist circumference,systolic and diastolic blood pressure (DBP),triceps skin fold (TSF) and sub-scapular skin fold (SSF) were measured.According to the development standard of children less than five years old issued by World Health Organization in 2006,there were six detailed evaluation indicators including length/height for age z-score (HAZ),weight for age z-score (WAZ),weight for length/ height z score (WHZ),body mass index (BMI) for age z-score (BAZ),triceps skin folds for agez-score (TSFZ) and sub-scapular skin folds for age z-score (SSFZ).Chi-square,t-test or variance analysis were applied.Results (1) No statistical difference on age,birth weight,sex,height,weight,BMI,waist circumference,blood pressure,TSF and SSF was found between offsprings of study and control group (P＞0.05).(2) Offsprings in both groups were further divided into macrosomia and non-microsomia subgroups,i.e.GDM macrosomic subgroup (n =15),GDM nonmacrosomic subgroup (n=109),control macrosomia subgroup (n=6) and control non-macrosomia subgroup (n=92).Significant difference was shown amont the four subgroups in weight [(19.8±3.9),(17.0±1.9),(17.7±1.7)and (17.2±1.7) kg,F=6.238,P＜0.001],BMI (17.6±2.6,16.0±1.2,16.6±1.1 and 16.2±1.1,F=5.901,P＜0.001),waist circumference [(53.6±5.3),(49.9±2.7),(50.9±3.3) and (50.4±0.9) cm,F=5.307,P＜0.001],WHZ (1.40±1.44,0.45±0.81,0.88±0.75 and 0,60±0.87,F=5.269,P=0.002),HAZ (1.22±0.78,0.47±0.82,0.98±0.74 and 0.50±1.00,F=3.668,P=0.013),WAZ (1.68±1.23,0.58±0.79,1.15±0.85and 0.71±0.93,F=7.361,P＜0.001) and BAZ (1.41±1.52,0.42±0.84,0.81±0.76 and 0.60±0.90,F=5.210,P =0.002).While comparing between each two subgroups,there was statistical difference between GDM macrosomia subgroup and GDM non macrosomia subgroup,and between GDM marosomia subgroup and control non-macrosomia group.(3) While comparing GDM macrosomia and GDM non-macrosomia subgroup with control group [weight (17.2±2.5) kg,BMI (16.2± 1.4),waist circumference (50.5 ± 3.6) cm,DBP (55.2 ± 6.9)mm Hg,SSF(6.1 ± 1.8) mm,WHZ (0.62±0.87),HAZ (0.53±0.99),WAZ (0.73±0.92),BAZ(0.61±0.89)],the weight (F=9.283,P＜0.001),BMI (F=8.707,P＜0.001),waist circumference (F=7.934,P＜0.001),DBP(F=3.123,P=0.046),SSF (F=3.499,P=0.032),WHZ (F=7.639,P＜0.001),HAZ(F=4.709,P=0.010),WAZ (F=10.302,P＜0.001) and BAZ (F=7.689,P＜0.001) was higher in GDM group than the control group.(4) The proportions of overweight and obesity were higher in GDM macrosomia subgroup than in GDM non-macrosomia and control groups [overweight:9/15 vs24.8％ (27/109) and 24.5％ (24/98),x2 =8.870,P=0.012; obesity:5/15 vs 7.3％(8/109) and 9.2％(9/98),x2=10.083,P=0.006].If all subjects were divided into macrosomia and non-macrosomia group,then the proportion of overweight and obesity was higher in the former group [overweight:52.4％ (11/21) vs24.4％(49/201),x2=7.560,P=0.006; obesity:28.6％ (6/21)vs 7.9％(16/201),x2 =9.047,P=0.003].Conclusions GDM may have long term adverse effect on the development of offsprings at three-four-year-old with higher incidence of obesity or high diastolic blood pressure in macrosomic babies of GDM mothers than in non macrosomic babies of GDM mothers or babies of non GDM mothers.

AIM: To construct recombinant lentiviral vector with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) of CREB gene, and to investigate the effect of CREB gene silencing on mitochondrial morphology and cell apoptosis in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced cortical neurons.METHODS: Three lentiviral vectors pLentiLox3.7 (PLL) inserted shRNA fragments targeting CREB gene were co-transfected with the packaging plasmids psPAX2 and pMD2.G to the 293T cells, and the virus particles, which was infected with the primary cortical neurons, was encapsulated.The protein expression of CREB was detected by Western blot.The mitochondrial morphology, cell apoptosis and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were evaluated by the methods of MitoTracker red, TUNEL and Western blot in OGD/R induced cortical neurons after CREB gene silencing.RESULTS: The pLL-CREB-shRNA1 was the most effective shRNA, which inhibited 80% CREB gene expression in the cortical neurons.The mitochondrial was appeared dot and fragment morphology in OGD/R induced cortical neurons with transfected pLL-CREB-shRNA1 plasmid.In addition, the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased, the expression of Bax, and the apoptosis of the neurons were increased by tranfected with pLL-CREB-shRNA1.CONCLUSION: CREB shRNA recombinant lentiviral vector specifically inhibits the expression of CREB gene.CREB gene silencing promotes the cell apoptosis and mitochondrial morphological changes in the cortical neurons induced by OGD/R.

Objective To compare SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI in the diagnosis of benign hip lesions. Methods Twenty-two patients suspected avascular necrosis of femoral head with hip discomfort, pain or action limited were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent radionuclide bone scan and MR examination within 5 days, and the diagnosis was proved with clinical follow-up. Results Eighteen necrosis of the femoral head and 4 hip arthritis including 1 patient with ankylosing spondylitis were found in 44 hip joints of 22 patients. MRI detected 17 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis, while SPECT/CT fusion image found out 18 femoral head necrosis and 4 hip arthritis. There was corresponding relationship in signs of hip lesions between MRI and SPECT/CT fusion imaging. Conclusion SPECT/CT fusion imaging and MRI has no markedly difference in the diagnosis of hip benign lesions, and is complementary to each other. SPECT/CT fusion image can distinguish the hip lesions from the femoral head lesions, and has a higher accuracy of diagnosing hip lesions than whole body bone scanning.

Objective To compare the diagnostic value of ventilation/perfusion ( V/Q) combined with pulmonary perfusion single photon emission computed tomography combined with CT ( SPECT/CT) fu-sion tomography imaging and computed tomographic pulmonary angiography ( CTPA) in evaluation of pulmo-nary embolism. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 60 patients with clinically suspected pulmonary em-bolism diagnosed in Shanxi Dayi Hospital from May 2015 to May 2017. All patients underwent pulmonary V/Q imaging and lung perfusion SPECT/CT fusion tomography, and CTPA inspections were completed with-in 3 days. The final clinical diagnosis and follow-up confirmed the presence or absence of pulmonary embol-ism. The diagnostic efficacy of two imaging methods for pulmonary embolism were calculated and compared. Results Of the 60 cases of patients, 33 cases were diagnosed with pulmonary embolism; the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of V/Q combined with pulmonary perfusion SPECT/CT fusion tomography were 96. 97％ (32/33), 92. 59％ (25/27) and 95％ (57/60), respectively; the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CTPA were 81. 82％ (27/33), 92. 59％ (25/27) and 86. 67％ (52/60), respectively; both have no diagnostic uncertainty, there was no significant difference in the qualitative diagnosis of pulmonary embolism between the two examination methods ( P >0. 05 ) . V/Q combined with pulmonary perfusion SPECT/CT fusion tomography found 253 lung segment and 50 unmatched sub-pulmonary segments, including 15 V/Q mismatch lung segment and 5 sub-segment caused by lung lesions which were confirmed by lung perfusion SPECT/CT fusion image ( 5 interlobular or pleural effusion, 4 local emphysema and pulmonary bulla, 3 interlobular hypertrophy, 8 pulmonary parenchymal inflammation); CTPA found 3 sub-segmental pulmonary filling defects, 6 cases of false-negative cases were multiple sub-pulmonary segment pulmonary embolism. Conclusions V/Q combined with pulmonary perfusion SPECT/CT fusion tomography is similar to CTPA in diagnosing pulmonary embolism, and both of them have better diagnostic efficacy; the former has advantages in the diagnosis of sub-pulmonary segment pulmonary embolism, and can exclude false-posi-tive diagnoses due to other lung lesions and provide additional diagnostic information for lung disease.

Objective: To analyze and discuss the clinical value of single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT)/CT fusion imaging in differentiating benign and malignant spinal lesions. Methods: From January 2017 to January 2018, 70 cases with benign and malignant spinal lesions in Shanxida Hospital were studied.SPECT/CT fusion imaging and SPECT examination were used to compare the diagnosis results between the two groups. Results: After SPECT diagnosis, a total of 98 bone metastatic lesions were detected, including 10 false positive lesions, 60 benign lesions and 28 false negative lesions.After SPECT/CT fusion imaging, there were 100 lesions, including 4 false positive lesions, 59 benign lesions and 37 false negative lesions.In this study, a total of 145 lesions were found in 70 patients with benign and malignant spinal lesions, including 95 benign lesions and 50 malignant lesions.The specificity, sensitivity and accuracy of SPECT/CT fusion imaging [95.79%(91/95), 92.00%(46/50), 93.79%(136/145)] were higher than those of the control group [82.11%(78/95), 64.00%(32/50), and 82.76%(120/145)], the differences were statistically significant(χ²=9.048, 11.422, 9.578, all P<0.05). Conclusion In the diagnosis of benign and malignant spinal diseases, SPECT/CT fusion imaging can accurately distinguish benign and malignant lesions, and clearly reflect the development of the disease, which lay a solid foundation for good treatment in the future.

Objective:To investigate and analyze disease status and risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy and puerperium in our country.Methods:Clinical datas were collected from 575 patients diagnosed with VTE during pregnancy and puerperium and hospitalized in nine medical institutions in our country from January 1, 2015 to November 30, 2019, and retrospectively analyzed it′s disease status and risk factors.Results:(1) The proportion of VTE in pregnancy and puerperium was 50.6% (291/575) and 49.4% (284/575), respectively. Four patients died, the mortality rate was 0.7% (4/575). The cause of death was pulmonary embolism. (2) The location of VTE during pregnancy and puerperium was mainly in the lower limb vascular (76.2%, 438/575), followed by pulmonary vessels (7.1%, 41/575). (3) In the risk factors of VTE, cesarean section accounted for 32.3% (186/575), maternal advance age accounted for 27.7% (159/575), braking or hospitalization during pregnancy accounted for 13.6% (78/575), other risk factors accounted for more than 5% were previous VTE, obesity, preterm birth, assistant reproductive technology conception and so on, pre-eclampsia and multiple pregnancy accounted for 4.9% (28/575) respectively. In addition, some patients with VTE did not have any of the above risk factors, and the incidence rate was as high as 23.1% (133/575).Conclusions:The occurrence of VTE during pregnancy and puerperium is related to multiple risk factors, and could lead to matemal death, It is very necessary to screen VTE risk factors for all pregnant women, to make corresponding prevention and control measures.

Objective To explore the characteristics of neonatal birth weight (BW) in two consecutive term singleton pregnant women and to investigate the influencing factors of macrosomia in the second birth.Methods In this case-control study,medical records of 1 920 singleton full-term pregnant women who gave birth twice in Peking University First Hospital from January 2005 to December 2017 were reviewed.All subjects were divided into two groups according to neonatal BW at the second birth regardless of the first one:macrosomia group (n=122) and non-macrosomia group (n=l 798).Then,those two groups were further divided into four sub-groups based on the neonatal BW in the first birth:macrosomia at both deliveries (n=27),macrosomia at the second time and non-macrosomia at the first time (n=95),non-macrosomia at the second time and macrosomia at the first time (n=90) and non-macrosomia at both deliveries (n=l 708).The differences of delivery interval,and the maternal age,pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI),weight gain during pregnancy,area under the curve of oral glucose tolerance test results,weight retention,the incidence of diabetes in pregnancy (including gestational diabetes mellitus and diabetes mellitus complicated with pregnancy),incidence of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and cesarean section rate at the second pregnancy between the groups and sub-groups were compared with t-test,Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis.Results (1) The total average neonatal BW in the second pregnancy was higher than that in the first [(3 443 ± 378) vs (3 403 ± 396) g,t=-4.119,P＜0.001].However,the proportion of macrosomia in each group was similar [6.4％ (122/ 1 920) vs 6.1％ (117/1 920),x2=3.237,P=0.198].The pre-pregnancy BMI,weight gain during pregnancy and proportion of previous macrosomia in the macrosomia group were significantly higher than those in non-macrosomia group [(23.6±3.4) vs (22.7±3.1) kg/m2,t=-2.882,P=0.004;(13.4±5.0) vs (12.4± 4.1) kg,t=-2.522,P=0.037;22.1％ (27/122) vs 5.0％ (90/1 798),x2=58.554,P＜0.001].Logistic regression analysis showed that previous macrosomia (OR=4.979,95％CI:3.052-8.122,P＜0.001),pre-pregnancy BMI (OR=1.084,95％CI:1.023-1.149,P=0.001) and weight gain during pregnancy (OR=1.077,95％CI:1.031-1.125,P=0.007) were influencing factors for macrosomia in the index delivery.(2) The pre-pregnancy BMI in the subgroup of macrosomia at both deliveries was significantly higher comparing to the subgroup of non-macrosomia at the second time and macrosomia at the first time [(25.8±4.3) vs (23.9±2.9) kg/m2,t=-2.600,P=0.011].Women in the subgroup of macrosomia at the second time and non-macrosomia at the first time had higher weight gain during second pregnancy than the subgroup of non-macrosomia at both deliveries [(13.5 ± 4.2) vs (12.5 ±4.1) kg,t=-2.404,P=0.016].Conclusions For two consecutive term singleton pregnancies,the average neonatal BW in the second time is slightly higher than that in the first,but the incidence of macrosomia is similar.Pre-pregnancy BMI,weight gain during pregnancy and macrosomia in the first birth are influencing factors for macrosomia in the second pregnancy.More attention should be paid to pre-pregnancy BMI reduction in women with history of macrosomia.For women without a history of macrosomia,weight management should be emphasized during the second pregnancy.

Objective:To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO′s recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics.Results:A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study ( P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age ( OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM ( OR=5.34, 95% CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM ( OR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia ( OR=4.11, 95% CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions:Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) brings health issues for both mothers and offspring, and GDM prevention is as important as GDM management. It was shown that a history of GDM was significantly associated with a higher maternal risk for GDM recurrence. The incidence of GDM recurrence was unclear because of the incidence of second-child was low before 2016 in China. We aim to investigate the prevalence of GDM recurrence and its associated high-risk factors which may be useful for the prediction of GDM recurrence in China. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted which enrolled participants who underwent regular prenatal examination and delivered twice in the same hospital of 18 research centers. All participants were enrolled from January 2018 to October 2018, where they delivered the second baby during this period. A total of 6204 women were enrolled in this study, and 1002 women with a history of GDM were analyzed further. All participants enrolled in the study had an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) result at 24 to 28 weeks and were diagnosed as GDM in the first pregnancy according to the OGTT value (when any one of the following values is met or exceeded to the 75-g OGTT: 0 h [fasting], ≥5.10 mmol/L; 1 h, ≥10.00 mmol/L; and 2 h, ≥8.50 mmol/L). The prevalence of GDM recurrence and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus were calculated, and its related risk factors were analyzed. RESULTS: In 6204 participants, there are 1002 women (1002/6204,16.15%) with a history of GDM and 5202 women (5202/6204, 83.85%) without a history of GDM. There are significant differences in age (32.43 ± 4.03 years vs. 33.00 ± 3.34 years vs. 32.19 ± 3.37 years, P  < 0.001), pregnancy interval (4.06 ± 1.44 years vs. 3.52 ± 1.43 years vs. 3.38 ± 1.35 years, P  = 0.004), prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) (27.40 ± 4.62 kg/m2vs. 23.50 ± 3.52 kg/m2vs. 22.55 ± 3.47 kg/m2, P < 0.001), history of delivered macrosomia (22.7% vs. 11.0% vs. 6.2%, P < 0.001) among the development of diabetes mellitus (DM), recurrence of GDM, and normal women. Moreover, it seems so important in the degree of abnormal glucose metabolism in the first pregnancy to the recurrence of GDM and the development of DM. There are significant differences in OGTT levels of the first pregnancy such as area under the curve of OGTT value (18.31 ± 1.90 mmol/L vs. 16.27 ± 1.93 mmol/L vs. 15.55 ± 1.92 mmol/L, P < 0.001), OGTT fasting value (5.43 ± 0.48 mmol/L vs. 5.16 ± 0.49 mmol/L vs. 5.02 ± 0.47 mmol/L, P < 0.001), OGTT 1-hour value (10.93 ± 1.34 mmol/L vs. 9.69 ± 1.53 mmol/L vs. 9.15 ± 1.58 mmol/L, P < 0.001), OGTT 2-hour value (9.30 ± 1.66 mmol/L vs. 8.01 ± 1.32 mmol/L vs. 7.79 ± 1.38 mmol/L, P < 0.001), incidence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (fasting plasma glucose ≥5.6 mmol/L) (31.3% vs. 14.6% vs. 8.8%, P < 0.001), and incidence of two or more abnormal OGTT values (68.8% vs. 39.7% vs. 23.9%, P < 0.001) among the three groups. Using multivariate analysis, the factors, such as age (1.07 [1.02-1.12], P = 0.006), prepregnancy BMI (1.07 [1.02, 1.12], P  = 0.003), and area under the curve of OGTT in the first pregnancy (1.14 [1.02, 1.26], P  = 0.02), have an effect on maternal GDM recurrence; the factors, such as age (1.28 [1.01-1.61], P  = 0.04), pre-pregnancy BMI (1.26 [1.04, 1.53], P = 0.02), and area under the curve of OGTT in the first pregnancy (1.65 [1.04, 2.62], P = 0.03), have an effect on maternal DM developed further. CONCLUSIONS The history of GDM was significantly associated with a higher maternal risk for GDM recurrence during follow-up after the first pregnancy. The associated risk factors for GDM recurrence or development of DM include age, high pre-pregnancy BMI, history of delivered macrosomia, the OGTT level in the first pregnancy, such as the high area under the curve of OGTT, IFG, and two or more abnormal OGTT values. To prevent GDM recurrence, women with a history of GDM should do the preconception counseling before preparing next pregnancy.
