Long-Term Risk of Type 2 Diabetes After Preterm Delivery or Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine long-term diabetes risk after preterm delivery or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in a large population-based cohort.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study included all women with a singleton delivery in Sweden during 1973-2015 and no preexisting diabetes mellitus. Participants were followed up for development of type 2 diabetes identified from nationwide outpatient and inpatient diagnoses through 2018. Cox regression was used to compute hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between preterm delivery or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and type 2 diabetes with adjustment for gestational diabetes and other maternal factors. Co-sibling analyses assessed for confounding by shared familial (genetic or environmental) factors.
