Risk Stratification in Twin Pregnancies Complicated by GDM.

ABSTRACT: Aims: This study was aimed at assessing the association of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose threshold levels and the requirement of insulin therapy in twin pregnancies with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: In this post hoc analysis of a cohort study spanning 18 years, 446 patients with twin pregnancy and GDM (246 managed with lifestyle modification and 200 requiring pharmacotherapy) were included. We collected and evaluated maternal characteristics, as well as fasting, 1-h, and 2-h glucose concentrations from a standardized 75-g OGTT. The assessment methods included logistic regression analysis, positive and negative predictive values, area under the curve (AUC), and random forest analysis. Results: The fasting (p < 0.01, OR: 1.03 [95% CI
