Objective:To Investigate comprehensive predictive ability of first-trimester complete blood count combined with maternal characteristics for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:From May 2015 to July 2018, 1 412 pregnant women were retrospectively screened at the Fifth People′s Hospital of Shanghai, Fudan University. We recruited 258 women who developed GDM and 1 154 women who had normal glucose level during pregnancy. At the first visit, clinical data and complete blood count result were obtained. GDM prediction models were established through logistic regression analysis of GDM related risk factors and the prediction abilities of each model were compared.Results:Logistic regression analyses identified age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, previous GDM history, family history of diabetes mellitus, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, leukocyte, neutrophil, and monocyte counts were significantly independent predictors of GDM. In the entire cohort, the predictive ability of neutrophil and monocyte counts together with maternal basal characteristics model for the development of GDM [areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC)=0.809, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI)=0.056, P=0.001] was the best among various models (basal characteristics model, AUC-ROC=0.753; Monocyte count+ basal characteristics model, AUC-ROC=0.764; neutrophil count + basal characteristics model, AUC-ROC=0.775). Similar results obtained by the same way in all pregnant women without previous GDM history. Conclusion:It could improve the prediction of GDM with model incorporated maternal characteristics and first-trimester neutrophil and monocyte counts.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and warfarin in the treatment of left ventricular thrombus (LVT), and to provide evidenced-based reference for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid Medline, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP during the inceptions to March 2022, after screening the literature and extracting data, the quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was evaluated by using bias risk evaluation tool recommended by Cochrane systematic evaluator manual. Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the quality of cohort studies, and RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis and bias risk analysis. RESULTS A total of 13 studies were included in the analysis, including 2 RCTs, 11 cohort studies and 2 261 patients; results of meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical significance in the incidence of complete LVT resolution [OR=1.05, 95%CI(0.81,1.37), P=0.71], the incidence of stroke/systemic embolism [OR=0.89, 95%CI(0.67,1.18), P=0.42], the incidence of massive haemorrhage [OR= 0.61, 95%CI(0.19,1.97), P=0.41], the incidence of rehospitalization [OR=0.84, 95%CI(0.49,1.46), P=0.54] or all-cause mortality [OR=0.93, 95%CI(0.56,1.56), P=0.79] between 2 groups. The incidence of any bleeding event in trial group was significantly lower than that control group[OR= 025-80863493。0.65, 95%CI(0.45,0.93), P=0.02]. Subgroup analysis showed that complete LVT resolution of patients with follow-up ≤6 months in trial group was significantly higher than control group, and the incidence of any bleeding event was significantly lower in patients with follow-up >6 months and in the European region than control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of complete LVT resolution in patients with follow-up>6 months, the incidence of any bleeding event in patients from Asia and America, or the incidence of any bleeding event in the two groups included in the RCT or the cohort study (P>0.05). The publication bias analysis showed that publication bias was less likely in the rate of complete LVT resolution but more likely in the incidence of any bleeding event. CONCLUSIONS NOACs can eliminate thrombus faster in the early stage, but with the prolongation of anticoagulation time, the efficacy of NOACs is comparable to warfarin, and the safety of NOACs in any bleeding event is better than warfarin.
