Correlation between high serum ferritin levels and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To explore the association between higher serum ferritin (SF) levels in mid-pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies, then develop a predictive cut-off value that might effectively predict the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in future clinical.

Methods

The study involved 201 pregnant women with GDM. 201 gestational age and parity matched normoglycemic pregnant women were taken as control group. The differences in clinical data were compared by the Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square tests. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between SF and GDM-relate adverse pregnancy outcomes. The predicted value of SF level was determined through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curv
