Predictors of postpartum glucose intolerance in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study in Ethiopia based on the updated diagnostic criteria.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To identify the incidence of postpartum glucose intolerance and develop a prediction model based on antenatal characteristics to predict postpartum glucose intolerance.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Gondar town public health facilities in Northwest Ethiopia.

Participants

Women who had gestational diabetes mellitus were advised to undergo postpartum oral glucose tolerance test at 6-12 weeks of delivery.

Main outcome

Postpartum glucose intolerance.

Data analysis

Predictors of postpartum glucose intolerance were identified using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The discriminative power of the predictor variables for postpartum glucose intolerance and the model accuracy were computed by area under the receiver operatin
