Development and validation of nomogram for the prediction of preterm delivery based on patient characteristics and circulating inflammatory cells in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence of preterm delivery (<37 weeks' gestation) is increased due to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The preterm delivery is the leading cause of death in children. If potential preterm delivery can be diagnosed early and then prevented, adverse pregnancy outcomes can be improved. Therefore, effective methods are needed for early prediction of preterm delivery in women with GDM.

Methods

Patients with GDM defined as the presence of at least 1 plasma glucose abnormality at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy [fasting plasma glucose ≥5.1 mmol/L, 60-min ≥10.0 mmol/L, 120-min ≥8.5 mmol/L by 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)] from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled. The data (564 patients) recorded from January 2017 to June
