Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 29
Abstract
[b] BACKGROUND[/b]: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance of variable degree with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. It accounts for 90% of the cases of diabetes mellitus in pregnancy. Family history of diabetes and high body mass index are risk factors for developing gestational diabetes mellitus. In high risk populations, the recurrence risk withfuture pregnancies is also high.[b] AIM AND OBJECTIVE[/b]: 1) to study the proportion of GDM amongpregnant women between 24 to 28 weeks of gestation. 2) To evaluate and compare the occurrence of GDM in antenatal cases with respect to risk factors e.g.; family history of diabetes, prematurity, history of foetal loss and congenital anomaly. [b]MATERIAL AND METHODS[/b]: In this hospital based study, 100gm of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) according to Carpenter and Coustanmodification of the National Diabetes Data Group was done in women coming for antenatalcheckup between 24 to 28 weeks of gestation irrespective of presence or absence of risk factors for GDM. Data was compiled and statistically analyzed. [b]RESULTS:[/b] In this study it was observed that 11(5.3%) women developed GDMout of 206 women. All GDM patients have one or more risk factors. Age >25 years (63.6%) fetal loss (36.3%), BMI (33.3%) are common risk factors followed by family history of diabetes (27.3%). [b]CONCLUSION[/b]: Family history of diabetes and past history of congenital anomalies are statistically significant in GDM group as compared to non GDM.
