Incidence of gestational diabetes and birth complications in Switzerland: Screening in 1042 pregnancies
Abstract
To evaluate the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational glucose intolerance (GGI), and birth major complications, a population of 1042 pregnant women was screened after the end of the second trimester with a two-step screening method. Patients with a positive 50-g screening test (plasma glucose ≥ 7.8 mmol/l at 1 h) underwent a 3-h standard 100-g oral glucose tolerance test. Clinical records of patients and newborns were analysed and compared to normotolerant patients group. GDM was found in 4.8% and GGI in 2.6% of all screened women of this study population. The patient group with GDM significantly differed from control, with a higher proportion of Asiatic women (32.0% versus 2.9%, p = 0.001) and high prevalence of previous GDM (26.0% versus 0.0%, p < 0.001). Major neonatal complications occurred more frequently in the dysmetabolic groups compared to normotolerant group. Macrosomia was not noted in our population. Asiatic origin and previous GDM were strongly associated with an increased incidence of GDM in multivariate analysis. This study represents the first epidemiological evaluation of GDM/GGI in Switzerland, with a two-step screening method. Incidence of GDM and GGI as well as birth complications resulted significant in our country.

In Switzerland, there was a statistically significant association between GDM and Asiatic origin, and between GDM and GDM diagnosed during a previous pregnancy.
“They found a statistically significant association between GDM and Asiatic origin, and GDM diagnosed during a previous pregnancy [131].”

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.
