- Abstract: Objective To explore related factors of intra-amniotic infection(IAI)during the delivery period in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),and to analyze the predictive value of these related factors for IAI.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 360 GDM pregnant women,including 120 cases with IAI(IAI group)and 240 pregnant women with GDM who did not develop IAI(control group).Clinical data,fetal monitoring during labor,placental pathology,pregnancy outcomes and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)results were collected for both groups.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to investigate influencing factors of IAI.The predictive value of combined HbA1c levels,parity and rupture time for IAI was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and the area under the curve(AUC)was calculated.Results In the IAI group,the proportion of primigravida,first-time delivery,artificial rupture of membranes,oxytocin use,rupture time and HbA1c levels were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The IAI group had a smaller gestational age at delivery,higher rates of forceps-assisted delivery,cesarean section and amniotic fluid contamination(P＜0.05).In the IAI group,the proportion of abnormal intrapartum baseline fetal heart rate and the incidence of late decelerations were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),while the incidence of variable deceleration and the proportion of category Ⅱ fetal heart rate monitoring were lower in the IAI group than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in baseline variability or acceleration of fetal heart rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).The proportions of mild neonatal asphyxia and neonatal transfer to intensive care were high in the IAI group than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression showed that elevated HbA1c levels(OR=3.342,95%CI:1.539-7.257)and prolonged rupture time(OR=1.001,95%CI:1.000-1.001)were independent risk factors for IAI in GDM pregnant women,while multiparity was a protective factor(OR=0.113,95%CI:0.046-0.278).The AUC for predicting IAI during labor by combining HbA1c,parity and rupture time was 0.819(95%CI:0.772-0.865),with a sensitivity of 0.742 and specificity of 0.767.Conclusion HbA1c levels,rupture time and parity are independent influencing factors for IAI during labor in pregnant women with GDM.The combination of these three factors has high clinical value in predicting IAI in GDM patients.
