Abstract

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), as a complex problem in pregnancy, is increasing all over the world, but most noticeable in developing countries. AIMS: To estimate GDM prevalence and associated pregnancy features in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from October 2010 through March 2011. A total of 285 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies participated and were asigned to the study in the order they came for their usual ante-natal clinic examination. They underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with 75 g of glucose. Information on OGTT results, maternal characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were collected from database and medical records. RESULTS: Prevalence of GDM was 10.9% according to 1999 World Health Organisation (WHO) diagnostic criteria. Prenatal cigarette smoking, previous GDM, cesarean delivery rate and neonatal hypoglycemia were significantly more frequent in the GDM group compared to the group of pregnancies with normal glucose tolerance (p = 0.015, p < 0.001, p = 0.015, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: This study presents a relatively high prevalence of GDM in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is a need for large well-designed study on GDM prevalence and its other features.

  • In Bosnia and Herzegovina, latest data 2010-2011 from 285 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies who underwent 75 g OGTT between 22 and 32 weeks showed GDM incidence of 10.9% according to WHO 1999 criteria.

    “The latest data on the prevalence of GDM from Bosnia and Herzegovina are dated for the years 2010–2011. A total of 285 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies participated in the study. They underwent a 75 g OGTT between 22 and 32 weeks of gestation. The incidence of GDM was assessed at 10.9% according to the WHO 1999 criteria.”

    The Methods and Results report a 2010–2011 study of 285 women with singleton pregnancies who underwent a 75 g OGTT at 22–32 weeks; 31 (10.9%) had GDM under WHO criteria. The paper calls 10.9% a prevalence estimate, not an incidence estimate. It also describes the study as taking place in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, rather than across the country.

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • In Bosnia and Herzegovina, prenatal cigarette smoking, C-section rate, GDM in a previous pregnancy, and neonatal hypoglycemia were significantly more frequent in the GDM group compared to controls.

    “Prenatal cigarette smoking, C-section rate, GDM in a previous pregnancy, and neonatal hypoglycemia were significantly more frequent in the GDM group compared to the controls [194].”

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.
