Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Related Common Risk Factors and Recurrence among Pregnant Patients: A Multifactorial Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency of newly diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and common associated factors in recurrent GDM.
Study Design: Cross sectional.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology unit A of Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from 27th July 2016 to 27th Jan 2017.
Materials and Methods: 336 women meeting the eligibility criteria (18-45 years, of any gestational age with gestational diabetes mellitus history and diagnosed as recurrent gestational diabetes) were included in the study. All patients who were labeled as a case of recurrent gestational diabetes was further investigated for any risk factor associated with its recurrence.
Results: The recurrence of Gestational Diabetes was observed in 99 (29.46%) patients, in which 77% of patients had family history positive.
Conclusion: Keeping in view the recurrence of gestational diabetes proper screening and medical care for GDM in women during the childbearing years is highly recommended.
