Perinatal Outcomes in Early and Late Gestational Diabetes Mellitus After Treatment From 24–28 Weeks’ Gestation: A TOBOGM Secondary Analysis
Abstract
Objective In most gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) studies, cohorts have included women combined into study populations without regard to whether hyperglycemia was present earlier in pregnancy. In this study we sought to compare perinatal outcomes between groups: women with early GDM (EGDM group: diagnosis before 20 weeks' gestation but no treatment until 24-28 weeks' gestation if GDM still present), with late GDM (LGDM group: present only at 24-28 weeks' gestation), and with normoglycemia at 24-28 weeks' gestation (control participants). Research design and methods This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled treatment trial where we studied, among women with risk factors, early ( Results Women with EGDM (n = 254) and LGDM (n = 467) had shorter pregnancy duration than control participants (n = 2,339). BMI was lowest with LGDM. The composite was increased with EGDM (odds ratio [OR] 1.59, 95% CI 1.18-2.12) but not LGDM (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.94-1.50). Induction of labor was higher in both GDM groups. In comparisons with control participants there were higher birth centile, higher preterm birth rate, and higher rate of neonatal jaundice for the EGDM group (but not the LGDM group). The greatest need for insulin and/or metformin was with EGDM. Conclusions Adverse perinatal outcomes were increased with EGDM despite treatment from 24-28 weeks' gestation, suggesting the need to initiate treatment early, and more aggressively, to reduce the effects of exposure to the more s…

A secondary analysis of the TOBOGM study showed that adverse perinatal outcomes were increased with GDM diagnosed during the first half of pregnancy, despite treatment from 24 to 28 weeks' gestation, compared with GDM diagnosed during the second half of pregnancy.

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.
