Common Risk Factors

Objective: To determine the frequency of newly diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and common associated factors in recurrent GDM. Study Design: Cross sectional. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology unit A of Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from 27th July 2016 to 27th Jan 2017. Materials and Methods: 336 women meeting the eligibility criteria (18-45 years, of any gestational age with gestational diabetes mellitus history and diagnosed as recurrent gestational diabetes) were included in the study. All patients who were labeled as a case of recurrent gestational diabetes was further investigated for any risk factor associated with its recurrence. Results: The recurrence of Gestational Diabetes was observed in 99 (29.46%) patients, in which 77% of patients had family history positive. Conclusion: Keeping in view the recurrence of gestational diabetes proper screening and medical care for GDM in women during the childbearing years is highly recommended.

Capillary Sampling

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication with negative impacts on mother and child. The primary aim of this study was to examine whether plasma glucose cutoffs for GDM diagnosis based on venous sampling can be replaced by cutoffs based on capillary sampling. A prospective cross-sectional study was performed at an antenatal care clinic including 175 pregnant women undergoing an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Duplicate samples were collected by capillary and venous puncture while fasting and 1 h and 2 h after an OGTT. Both samples were analyzed on Accu-Chek Inform II. The cutoffs for a GDM diagnosis using capillary samples were corrected from 5.1 to 5.3 mmol/L for the fasting sample, from 10.0 to 11.1 mmol/L for the 1 h sample, and from 8.5 to 9.4 mmol/L for the 2-h sample using half of the dataset. Applying these cutoffs to the remaining dataset resulted in a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 85.0%, 95.0%, and 90.3%, respectively, with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 83%, an negative predictive value (NPV) of 96%, and a positive negative likelihood ratio (LHR) of 16.4 using capillary sampling for the GDM diagnosis at fasting and 2-h after. Corrected cutoffs and capillary samples can be used for the diagnosis of GDM with maintained diagnostic accuracy using Accu-Chek Inform II.
