Abstract
PURPOSE: In this study, we evaluated the impact of risk factors for gestational diabetes on clinical/biochemical parameters and maternal/fetal outcomes. METHODS: One hundred eighty-three (n 183) women (age 33.8 ± 5.5 years, 59% Caucasians, 41% non-Caucasians) with gestational diabetes were included in the study. Anamnestic information, anthropometric and laboratory parameters, and maternal and fetal outcomes at delivery were collected. RESULTS: Insulin therapy prevalence was higher in Asians vs Caucasians (p = 0.006), despite lower pre-pregnancy BMI in Asians (p = 0.0001) and in pre-pregnancy overweight vs normal weight patients (p = 0.04). Insulin-treated patients had higher fasting OGTT glucose than patients on diet therapy (p = 0.003). In multivariate analysis, Asian ethnicity, age ≥ 35 years and pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 were independent predictors of insulin therapy. Cesarean section occurred more in women aged ≥ 35 years than < 35 years (p = 0.02). Duration of pregnancy and age showed inverse correlation (r - 0.3 p = 0.013). Week of delivery was lower in patients ≥ 35 years vs patients < 35 years (p = 0.013). Fasting OGTT glucose was higher in overweight than in normal weight patients (p = 0.016). 1-h OGTT glucose was lower in obese vs normal weight (p = 0.03) and overweight patients (p = 0.03). Prevalence of prior gestational diabetes was higher in overweight/obese women (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Ethnicity, age, and BMI have the heaviest impact on pregnancy outcomes.
