Prevalence of gestational diabetes in the Waikato region of New Zealand
Open accessAbstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy is associated with health complications for both mother and infant, but patient numbers in the Waikato District Health Board region of New Zealand have not been well characterised. This study reviewed the full 2018 cohort of Waikato District Health Board hospital births (n = 4970) to report on GDM prevalence by ethnicity and age. The overall prevalence of GDM was 5.7% and is more likely to affect Asian, Pacific and Māori women as well as those of advanced maternal age.

The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus in New Zealand has not been definitively understood, but latest studies assessed it at approximately 6% (5.7-6.2%).
“The prevalence of GDM in New Zealand has not been definitively understood, or reported according to small studies performed in small catchment areas [23,24,25,26,27], but the latest studies assessed it at approximately 6% (5.7–6.2%).”

The Abstract says earlier New Zealand studies estimated GDM prevalence at approximately 6%, generally for particular regions or cohorts. The Discussion reports 5.7% for Waikato births in 2018, not a definitive national estimate. The copy does not support the claimed 5.7–6.2% range: 6.2% is not reported as a GDM prevalence estimate.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGestational diabetes mellitus in New Zealand more likely affects women at an advanced age, as well as Māori, Pacific, and Asian women.
“Chepulis et al. presented that GDM more likely affects women at an advanced age, as well as Māori, Pacific, and Asian women [28].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
