Abstract

The effects of age, parity and body mass index on 50 g oral glucose tolerance test results and its predictive value in gestational diabetes mellitus Yaş, parite ve vücut kitle indeksinin 50 gr glukoz tarama testi üzerine etkileri ve gestasyonel diabetes mellitus ile ilişkisi Alparslan Deniz 1How to cite/Atıf için: Deniz A. The effects of age, parity and body mass index on 50 g oral glucose tolerance test results and its predictive value in gestational diabetes mellitus.

The risk factors and maternal adverse outcomes of stillbirth

“…Gestational diabetes mellitus and abruptio placenta increased stillbirth rate with the odds ratios 15 and 18, respectively. It was well known that pre-existing diabetes was associated with stillbirth and adverse maternal outcomes [7,24]. Contemporary studies determined that GDM was related to stillbirth, similar to our study [6,25].…”

“…The evolution of medicine and increased opportunities had an essential role in decreasing stillbirth rates. Women with diabetes used to experience stillbirth by approximately 65% in the 1920s however, patients with advanced glycemic control carry almost the same risk as those without diabetes [6,7]. Similarly, adequate treatment of preeclampsia (PE), hypertensive disorders, Rhesus alloimmunization, intrauterine growth restriction, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), and infections had also essential roles in decreasing stillbirth rates.…”

Association between body mass index in the first half of pregnancy and gestational diabetes: A systematic review

“…Out of a total of 18 related studies, 15 were cohort studies, 2 , 23 – 36 two were case–control studies, 37 , 38 and one was cross-sectional. 39 The frequency of countries in which the articles were conducted is as follows: China, 6 Australia, 3 Iran, 2 the United States, 2 the United Kingdom, 2 Malaysia, 1 Turkey, 1 and Spain.…”

“…Deniz 26 reported that women with BMI of more than 35 kg/m 2 are positive for insulin resistance with 50 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Also, Ali et al 1 showed that BMI ⩾ 30 kg/m 2 and previous macrosomic infant are dependent risks for GDM.bib1 Other study concluded that women with BMI ⩾ 50 kg/m 2 as an important subgroup of the obese patients, experience more complications (such as GDM (29%), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (20%), and cesarean section (48%)).…”
