Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the applicability of 50gms. OGCT as a screening test for GDM and to compare the pregnancy outcome between GDM, false positive OGCT (following OGTT results) and women with normal screening test. It was a prospective study carried out on 200 pregnant women at 12- 20 weeks and at 24 -28 weeks of gestation and a comparative study was conducted on the pregnancy outcome in women with normal and abnormal screening results (OGCT values). Pregnant women were selected randomly considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the results were analysed. The results were divided into 4 groups and the pregnancy outcome were compared between those four groups. 7 cases of GDM were diagnosed in early screening and 28% of the study population falls under false positive OGCT cases with sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 62.50% with positive predictive value of 18.82%.
