Predicting primary cesarean delivery in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prediction models have shown promise in helping clinicians and patients engage in shared decision-making by providing quantitative estimates of individual risk of important clinical outcomes. Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common complication of pregnancy, which places patients at higher risk of primary CD. Suspected fetal macrosomia diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound is a well-known risk factor for primary CD in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, but tools incorporating multiple risk factors to provide more accurate CD risk are lacking. Such tools could help facilitate shared decision-making and risk reduction by identifying patients with both high and low chances of intrapartum primary CD.

Objective

This study aimed to develop and internally validate
