Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between triglyceride high-density cholesterol-glucose body index （TyHGB） and gestational diabetes mellitus （GDM）. MethodsThis single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 723 singleton pregnant women who received prenatal care and delivered at Lingnan Hospital， the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University， from May 2024 to July 2024 were enrolled. Clinical baseline data and laboratory test results in the first trimester （before 13+6 weeks of gestation） were collected. Based on the tertiles of the TyHGB index were equally divided into 3 groups. Clinical baseline data， and GDM risk were compared among the three groups. ResultsCompared with the control group， the GDM group had older maternal age， higher Pre-pregnancy BMI， FPG， TG， and higher values of 75 g OGTT fasting plasma glucose， 1 h plasma glucose， and 2 h plasma glucose. The early-pregnancy TyHGB index， andincidence of macrosomiawere all higher in the GDM group than in the control group （ all P<0.05）， whereas gestational weight gain （GWG） was lower than that of the control group （P<0.05）. The individuals were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of the TyHGB index. Significantly differences were identified among TyHGB index tertiles in maternal age， parity， Pre-BMI， FPG， TC， TG， HDL-C， LDLL-C， Ur， 75 g OGTT fasting plasma glucose， 1 h plasma glucose， 2 h plasma glucose， GWG， neonatal birth weight， GDM， GH， macrosomia incidence， and cesarean section rate（all P<0.05）. Further trend test analysis found that matenal age， parity， Pre-BMI， FPG， TC， TG， LDL-C， 75 g OGTT_FPG， 75 g OGTT_1 h PG and 75 g OGTT_2 h PG level， neonatal birth weight， GDM， GH， incidence of macrosomia and cesarean section rate all showed an upward trend. The multivariate Logistic regression models revealed that there was an independent positive correlation between TyHGB index and the risk of GDM. Curve fitting by restricted cubic splines （RCS） were used to assess linearity between TyHGB and GDM， and there was a linear dose-response relationship between TyHGB and GDM （P nonlinear test = 0.597）. The threshold value for early pregnancy TyHGB index to predict GDM was 6.449 ， with an area under the curve （AUC） of 0.644 （95% CI： 0.597-0.691）， sensitivity of 0.480 ， and specificity of 0.779. After adjusting for maternal age， Pre-BMI， family history of diabetes， and history of GDM， the AUC for the early pregnancy TyHGB index to predict GDM was 0.672 （95% CI： 0.626-0.718）. ConclusionThe early-pregnancy TyHGB index is independently associated with GDM risk， and exhibits a linear dose-response relationship with GDM. It may serve as an early screening and monitoring tool for pregnant women at high risk of GDM. However， its predictive value for GDM requires further validation.
