Prediction of Glucose Intolerance in Early Postpartum in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Based on the 2013 WHO Criteria.

ABSTRACT: Predictors for glucose intolerance postpartum were evaluated in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) based on the 2013 World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. 1841 women were tested for GDM in a prospective cohort study. A postpartum 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in women with GDM at 14 ± 4.1 weeks. Of all 231 mothers with GDM, 83.1% (192) had a postpartum OGTT of which 18.2% (35) had glucose intolerance. Women with glucose intolerance were more often of Asian origin [15.1% vs. 3.7%, OR 4.64 (1.26⁻17.12)], had more often a recurrent history of GDM [41.7% vs. 26.7%, OR 3.68 (1.37⁻9.87)], higher fasting glycaemia (FPG) [5.1 (4.5⁻5.3) vs. 4.6 (4.3⁻5.1) mmol/L, OR 1.05 (1.01⁻1.09)], higher HbA1c [33 (31⁻36) vs. 32 (30⁻33) mmol/mol, OR 4.89 (1.61⁻14.82)], and
