A new classification method for gestational diabetes mellitus: a study on the relationship between abnormal blood glucose values at different time points in oral glucose tolerance test and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can lead to various adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mothers and infants, including gestational hypertension, premature rupture of membranes, preterm birth, macrosomia, large for gestational age (LGA) infants, and neonatal hypoglycemia. Previous studies have mainly focused on the overall risk of GDM for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, but there has been limited research specifically investigating the relationship between different patterns of abnormal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Objective

The study aimed to analyze the maternal and neonatal outcomes among GDM women with different OGTT patterns and to explore a new classification method capable of stratifying G
