Study design A retrospective analysis of prospectively collective data of 1813 patients with GDM was performed to determine the rate of preeclampsia. Patients were stratified after treatment was begun by level of glycemic control (well controlled was defined as mean blood glucose < 95 mg/dL). The extent of hyperglycemia was analyzed by the level of the abnormality in the oral GTT and by the degree of abnormality of daily glucose control after treatment has begun. Severity of GDM was categorized using fasting plasma glucose (FPG) on a 3-hour oral GTT by 10 mg/dL increments. Results Overall, preeclampsia was diagnosed in 9.6%(174/1813) of diabetic patients. The GDM subjects who developed preeclampsia were significantly younger, had a higher nulliparity rate, were more obese, and gained significantly more weight during pregnancy. However, no difference was found in glycemic profile characteristics between the 2 groups. A comparison between patients with FPG <105 and FPG >105 revealed that the rate of preeclampsia increased significantly, 7.8%vs 13.8%, (O.R 1.81, 95%CI 1.3-2.51). For GDM patients with only mild hyperglycemia (FPG <105 mg/dL), no significant difference was found in the rate of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia rate was further evaluated in relation to level of glycemic control; for the wellcontrolled patients (mean blood glucose [MBG] <95 mg/dL, n=994), similar rates of preeclampsia were found between each category of FPG severity. In contrast, in poorly controlled patients (MBG >95 mg/dL, n=819), a comparison between severity threshold of FPG <115 and FPG >115 revealed that the preeclampsia rate was 9.8%vs 18%(O.R 2.56, 95%C.I. 1.5-4.3). In a logistic regression model, only prepregnancy BMI (O.R 2.3, 95%CI 1.16-2.30) and severity of GDM (O.R 1.7, 95%CI 1.21-2.38) were independently and significantly associated with an increased risk of preeclampsia. Conclusion The rate of preeclampsia is influenced by the severity of GDM and prepregnancy BMI. Optimizing glucose control during pregnancy may decrease the rate of preeclampsia, even in those with a greater severity of GDM.展开更多

Study design and methods: A prospective study of 71 women with type 1 diabetes mellitus where complete data were collected on HbA1c, insulin dose, and albumin excretion rate from week 12 and every second week hereafter. Fundus photography was performed and diurnal blood pressure measured three times during pregnancy. Results: The preterm rate was 23% and women delivering preterm showed higher HbA1c throughout pregnancy. At regression analysis HbA1c was the strongest predictor for preterm delivery from week 6 to 32, also when including insulin dose, BMI, age, duration of diabetes, and diurnal blood pressure. The risk of delivering preterm was more than 40% when HbA1c was above 7.7% in week 8. Diurnal blood pressure was not found associated with preterm delivery. Conclusion: The quality of glycemic regulation in the early and mid pregnancy is a major, independent risk factor for preterm delivery in normoalbuminuric diabetic women without preeclampsia.展开更多
