Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Associated with Newly Diagnosed Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Assessing these risk factors concurrently may facilitate both the identification of women at GDM risk and the initiation of GDM prevention strategies.Objectives: To investigate whether SDB events, including SDB in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and other sleep parameters, are associated with increased risk of GDM and to evaluate the performance of the models investigating associations between breathing and sleep parameters and GDM risk.Methods: In this case-control study, 46 women with newly diagnosed GDM and 46 healthy control subjects, who were individ
