Gestational Diabetes-Screening, Prevalence and Postpartum Diabetes: Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To evaluate GDM screening compliance and prevalence, and the association between gestational glucose intolerance and 5-year postpartum diabetes mellitus (DM).

Materials and methods

We used population-based data from three Israeli health maintenance organisations (HMOs), covering 75% of all births in 2016. GDM screening followed a two-step approach: a 50-g 1-h oral glucose challenge test (OGCT), followed by a 100-g 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) using Carpenter-Coustan criteria. Data included age, socioeconomic status (SES), results of OGCT and OGTT tests, child birth weight, and gestational age. The dataset was linked to the Israeli National Diabetes Registry to identify postpartum DM. Logistic regression models estimated odds ratios (ORs) for GDM and postpartum
