Risk factors for abnormal postpartum glycemic states in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

To evaluate the rate of postpartum glycemic screening tests (PGST) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to investigate risk factors for abnormal PGST results.

Materials and methods

We retrospectively analyzed the obstetric data of 1,648 women with GDM who gave birth after 28 completed weeks of gestation between 1 July 2011 and 31 December 2019 at Taipei Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. GDM was diagnosed by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. PGST was carried out at 6-12 weeks postpartum with a 75-g, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test, and the results were classified into normal, prediabetes and diabetes mellitus. Multiple logistic regression was used to assess the associations between various ri
