Abstract
Introduction: The most common form of pregestational diabetes in pregnancy is type 2 diabetes, requiring strict metabolic monitoring owing to the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Our study aimed to identify predictors of composite maternal outcome (CMO) and fetal outcome (CFO) separately in pregnant women with early-onset type 2 diabetes (PwEOT2D).
Methods: The cross-sectional pilot study included 60 PwEOT2D by recording age, socioeconomic determinants, preconception body mass index (pBMI), preconception (pHbA1c) and trimester-specific glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), gestational weight gain (GWG), and pregnancy outcomes. We defined CMO as at least one of the following: gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, preterm delivery, or emergency section. CFO included at least one of the following: small or large for gestational age, macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, or admission to the neonatal intensive care unit.
Results: CMO was detected in 55% and CFO in 35% of PwEOT2D. The majority of PwEOT2D with CMO lived in suburban areas (73.1%), while those without CMO mostly lived in rural areas (51.9%, p = 0.014). Moreover, PwEOT2D with CMO had comparable pBMI to those without CMO (31.45 ± 6.27 versus 28.99 ± 6.28 kg/m2, p = 0.136). However, PwEOT2D with CMO had higher pHbA1c (7.28 ± 0.95 versus 6.46 ± 0.96%, p = 0.002) and first trimester HbA1c (7.24 ± 1.08 versus 6.42 ± 0.97%, p = 0.003). Similarly, PwEOT2D with CFO had higher pHbA1c (7.84 ± 0.95 versus 6.41 ± 0.67%, p < 0.001) and first trimester (7.29 ± 1.07 versus 6.65 ± 1.07%, p = 0.032) and second trimester HbA1c (6.45 ± 0.87 versus 5.96 ± 0.82%, p = 0.038). Additionally, GWG was higher in the second (4.38 ± 2.01 versus 3.33 ± 1.61 kg, p = 0.032) and third trimester (5.66 ± 2.93 versus 3.89 ± 2.61 kg, p = 0.002) compared with those without CMO. Regression analysis identified pHbA1c, first trimester of pregnancy, and community type as predictors of CMO, while pHbA1c and the occurrence of CMO were predictors of CFO.
Conclusions: Our results imply that preconception and first trimester of pregnancy HbA1c, as well as community disparities, are predictors of CMO, while the predictors of CFO were only preconception HbA1c and the occurrence of CMO in pregnant women with EOT2D. Therefore, tailoring preventive strategies, followed by achieving and sustaining trimester-specific metabolic control, might improve pregnancy outcomes in women with EOT2D.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
