Differences in HDL Remodeling during Healthy Pregnancy and Pregnancy with Cardiometabolic Complications. Antioxidants (Basel) 2024; 13:948. [PMID: 39199194 PMCID: PMC11352027 DOI: 10.3390/antiox13080948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the longitudinal trajectory of changes in antioxidative and anti-inflammatory high-density lipoprotein (HDL) components during healthy pregnancy and pregnancy with cardiometabolic complications. We recruited and longitudinally followed 84 women with healthy pregnancies and 46 pregnant women who developed cardiometabolic pregnancy complications (gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy). Their general lipid profiles, oxidative stress status, inflammatory status, and antioxidative and anti-inflammatory HDL components were analyzed. The results of our study confirmed the expected trajectory for the routine lipid parameters. Our study results indicate more intensive oxidative stress and a higher level of inflammation in the group with complications compared with the control group. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) was significantly lower in the first trimester in the group with complications compared with the control group (p < 0.05). We did not find significant differences in the apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1) concentrations in the first trimester between the control group and the group with complications, but in the second and third trimesters, the group with complications had significantly higher concentrations (p < 0.001, p < 0.05, respectively). The S1P, paraoxonase 1 (PON1), and serum amyloid A (SAA) concentrations were significantly lower in the group with complications in the first trimester. During the second trimester, only the SAA concentrations were identified as significantly lower in the group with complications compared with the control group, while in the third trimester, the PON1, apolipoprotein M (Apo M), and SAA concentrations were all significantly lower in the group with complications. Through a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, the S1P concentration in the first trimester was distinguished as an HDL-associated marker independently associated with cardiometabolic pregnancy complications. In conclusion, our study results showed that HDL remodeling differs between healthy pregnancies and pregnancies with maternal cardiometabolic complications, with changed HDL composition and functionality consequently impacting its biological functionality in the latter case.

Abstract
Introduction The present study aimed to evaluate the associations between the clinical and biochemical characteristics of women with gestational diabetes (GDM) and the incidence of large for gestational age (LGA) babies. Methods This cohort study included data collected during prenatal follow-up of GDM women from January 2008 to August 2022. Clinical and biochemical variables were compared among small (SGA), adequate (AGA), or large for gestational age (LGA) babies. Associations of the main variables with the incidence of LGA were determined by multiple regression analysis. Results Out of 659 women, 56 had LGA, 547 had AGA, and 56 had SGA babies. We observed differences in the means of age, pregestational body mass index (BMI), high-density lipoproteins-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, gestational weight gain (GWG), and gestational age at birth according to LGA, AGA, and SGA (p < 0.05). All other variables were not different between the groups. The frequencies (%) and relative risk (RR) of LGA babies were evaluated according to HDL-C in the first tertile and/or obesity, with 12.2% and risk ratio (RR)=2.77 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35-5.69, p=0.005) if the women had obesity and HDL in the first tertile, 11.3% and RR=2.27 (95% CI 1.03-5.03, p=0.042) if only HDL in the first tertile was present, 10.9% and RR=2.68 (95% CI 1.31-5.48, p=0.007) if the women had only obesity, using as a reference group those women without obesity or HDL-C in the first tertile (4.6% and RR=1) adjusted for age, age at birth and GWG. Conclusion In women with GDM, lower levels of HDL-cholesterol during pregnancy, as well as pregestational obesity, seem to be good predictors of the occurrence of LGA babies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the relationship of early pregnancy maternal diet quality (DQ) with maternal plasma lipids and indicators of cardiometabolic health, including blood pressure (BP), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational weight gain (GWG). METHODS Women (n = 215) aged 18-40 years with singleton pregnancies were recruited at 10-20 weeks gestation. Diet quality was assessed by the Dietary Guideline Index, calculated at early ([mean ± SD]) (15 ± 3 weeks) and late (35 ± 2 weeks) pregnancy. Lipidomic analysis was performed, and 698 species across 37 lipid classes were measured from plasma blood samples collected at early (15 ± 3 weeks) and mid (27 ± 3 weeks)-pregnancy. Clinical measures (BP, GDM diagnosis, weight) and blood samples were collected across pregnancy. Multiple linear and logistic regression models assessed associations of early pregnancy DQ with plasma lipids at early and mid-pregnancy, BP at three antenatal visits, GDM diagnosis and total GWG. RESULTS Maternal DQ scores ([mean ± SD]) decreased significantly from early (70.7 ± 11.4) to late pregnancy (66.5 ± 12.6) (p < 0.0005). At a false discovery rate of 0.2, early pregnancy DQ was significantly associated with 13 plasma lipids at mid-pregnancy, including negative associations with six triglycerides (TGs); TG(54:0)[NL-18:0] (neutral loss), TG(50:1)[NL-14:0], TG(48:0)[NL-18:0], TG(52:1)[NL-18:0], TG(54:1)[NL-18:1], TG(50:0)[NL-18:0]. No statistically significant associations were found between early pregnancy DQ and BP, GDM or GWG. CONCLUSION Maternal diet did not adhere to Australian Dietary Guidelines. Diet quality was inversely associated with multiple plasma TGs. This study provides novel insights into the relationship between DQ, lipid biomarkers and cardiometabolic health during pregnancy.

Abstract
Objective This study explored the association between metabolic factors and body composition during the first trimester of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods This prospective study recruited pregnant women in their first trimester. Clinical information and glucose and lipid measurements were collected, and body composition was assessed using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis. GDM was diagnosed on the basis of an oral glucose tolerance test at 24-28 gestational week. Factors related to GDM were investigated using correlation, and risk ratios (RRs) and 95% CIs of potential risk factors with GDM were estimated using Poisson regression. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine predictive effects. Results 59/302 women (19.5%) developed GDM. Older (RR 1.076, 95% CI 1.005-1.152), higher body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy (pre-BMI) (RR 1.012, 95% CI 1.005-1.063), triglycerides (RR 4.052, 95% CI 1.641-6.741), and lower skeletal muscle mass (SMM) to fat mass (FM) ratio (SMM/FM) (RR 0.213, 95% CI 0.051-0890) in the first trimester, and family history of type 2 diabetes (RR 1.496, 95% CI 1.014-2.667) significantly associated with the risk of GDM, but neither fasting plasma glucose nor glycated albumin was associated with GDM. The combined multivariate prediction model achieved good discrimination with an AUC of 0.806 (95% CI 0.737-0.895, P<0.001). According to ROC curve, the cut-off values of TG and SMM/FM were 0.925 mmol/L and 1.305. Conclusion Reduced SMM/FM and elevated triglyceride (TG) levels in the first trimester are associated with GDM development, and should be screened in early pregnancy to identify high-risk subjects for GDM.

Association of elevated mid-pregnancy maternal plasma ferritin concentrations and triglyceride concentrations with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2023; 39:e3637. [PMID: 36958940 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/25/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ferritin levels are well known to be associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the association of the combination of ferritin and triglyceride (TG) levels in early mid-pregnancy with GDM has not been studied in depth. We investigated the independent and combined relationships of plasma ferritin and TG concentrations with the risk of GDM as well as the mediation effect of TG on ferritin. METHODS We analysed 2071 pregnant women from the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort who had their plasma ferritin and TG concentrations measured at 11-20 weeks of gestation. Associations between ferritin and TG concentrations and GDM risk were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models. Youden's index was calculated to find the cut-off values of ferritin and TG by ROC curve analysis. The mediation effect of the TG concentration on the ferritin level with GDM risk was explored by a mediation analysis. RESULTS A total of 264 (12.3%) participants developed GDM. The median and IQR of ferritin was 53.9 (30.5-92.7) ng/mL. After adjusting for potential confounders, the relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals of GDM were 2.19 (1.42, 3.39) for ferritin and 2.02 (1.37, 2.97) for TG. The adjusted RR for combination was 2.40 (1.62, 3.55). Moreover, we found that the TG concentration mediated 15.0% of the total effect of the ferritin concentration on the risk of GDM. CONCLUSIONS Women with a combination of both high plasma ferritin (˃55.7 ng/mL) and high TG (˃1.9 mmoL/L) were at the highest risk of GDM. Additionally, we have revealed for the first time that an elevated maternal TG concentration in early pregnancy mediates the relationship between ferritin concentration and GDM risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE No evidence has been found of a relationship between remnant cholesterol (RC) and the likelihood of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women. The aim of our study was to investigate the link between serum RC at 12-14 weeks of gestation and the risk of GDM. METHODS This was a secondary analysis with data from a prospective cohort study in Korea. A total of 590 single pregnant women attending two hospitals in Korea, up to 14 weeks gestation, from November 2014 to July 2016 were included in the study. The formula used to calculate RC in detail was RC (mg/dL) = TC (mg/dL)-HDL-c (mg/dL)-LDL-c (mg/dL). Logistic regression models were employed to examine the relationship between RC and GDM and explore the association between other lipoprotein cholesterol parameters and the risk of GDM. Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to assess the ability of RC to identify GDM. Additionally, sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 32.06 ± 3.80 years. The median of RC was 34.66 mg/dL. 37 pregnant women (6.27%) were eventually diagnosed with GDM. Multivariate adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that RC was positively associated with the risk of GDM (OR = 1.458, 95% CI 1.221, 1.741). There was no significant association between other lipoprotein cholesterols (including TC, LDL-c, HDL-c) and the risk of GDM. The area under the ROC curve for RC as a predictor of GDM was 0.8038 (95% CI 0.7338-0.8738), and the optimal RC cut-off was 24.30 mg/dL. Our findings were demonstrated to be robust by performing a series of sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION Serum RC levels at 12-14 weeks of gestation are positively associated with GDM risk in pregnant women. RC in early pregnancy is an early warning indicator of GDM in pregnant women, especially those with normal HDL-c, LDL-c, and TC that are easily overlooked. There is a high risk of developing GDM in pregnant women whose RC is more than 24.30 mg/dL. This study may help optimize GDM prevention in pregnant women and facilitate communication between physicians, pregnant patients, and their families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the intergenerational effects of metabolic disorders, evidence is greatly lacking on early pregnancy metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its effects on pregnancy outcomes from low- and middle-income countries. Thus, this prospective cohort of South Asian pregnant women aimed to evaluate how early pregnancy MetS would affect pregnancy outcomes. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted among first-trimester (T1) pregnant women of Anuradhapura district, Sri Lanka recruited to the Rajarata Pregnancy Cohort in 2019. MetS was diagnosed by the Joint Interim Statement criteria before 13 weeks of gestational age (GA). Participants were followed up until their delivery, and the major outcomes measured were large for gestational age (LGA), small for gestational age (SGA), preterm birth (PTB) and miscarriage (MC). Gestational weight gain, gestational age at delivery and neonatal birth weight were used as measurements to define the outcomes. Additionally, outcome measures were re-assessed with adjusting fasting plasma glucose (FPG) thresholds of MetS to be compatible with hyperglycemia in pregnancy (Revised MetS). RESULTS 2326 T1 pregnant women with a mean age of 28.1 years (SD-5.4), and a median GA of 8.0 weeks (IQR-2) were included. Baseline MetS prevalence was 5.9% (n = 137, 95%CI-5.0-6.9). Only 2027 (87.1%) women from baseline, had a live singleton birth, while 221(9.5%) had MC and 14(0.6%) had other pregnancy losses. Additionally, 64(2.8%) were lost to follow-up. A higher cumulative incidence of LGA, PTB, and MC was noted among the T1-MetS women. T1-MetS carried significant risk (RR-2.59, 95%CI-1.65-3.93) for LGA, but reduced the risk for SGA (RR-0.41, 95%CI-0.29-0.78). Revised MetS moderately increased the risk for PTB (RR-1.54, 95%CI-1.04-2.21). T1-MetS was not associated (p = 0.48) with MC. Lowered FPG thresholds were significantly associated with risk for all major pregnancy outcomes. After adjusting for sociodemographic and anthropometric confounders, revised MetS remained the only significant risk predictor for LGA. CONCLUSION Pregnant women with T1 MetS in this population are at an increased risk for LGA and PTB and a reduced risk for SGA. We observed that a revised MetS definition with lower threshold for FPG compatible with GDM would provide a better estimation of MetS in pregnancy in relation to predicting LGA.

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can lead to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, and early prevention is particularly important for their health, but there is no widely accepted approach to predict it in the early pregnancy. The aim of the present study is to build and evaluate predictive models for GDM using routine indexes, including maternal clinical characteristics and laboratory biomarkers, before 16 gestational weeks. METHODS A total of 2895 pregnant women were recruited and maternal clinical characteristics and laboratory biomarkers before 16 weeks of gestation were collected from two hospitals. All participants were randomly stratified into the training cohort and the internal validation cohort by the ratio of 7:3. Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, two nomogram models, including a basic model and an extended model, were built. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical validity were used to evaluate the models in the internal validation cohort. RESULTS The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the basic and the extended model was 0.736 and 0.756 in the training cohort, and was 0.736 and 0.763 in the validation cohort, respectively. The calibration curve analysis showed that the predicted values of the two models were not significantly different from the actual observations (p = 0.289 and 0.636 in the training cohort, p = 0.684 and 0.635 in the internal validation cohort, respectively). The decision-curve analysis showed a good clinical application value of the models. CONCLUSIONS The present study built simple and effective models, indicating that routine clinical and laboratory parameters can be used to predict the risk of GDM in the early pregnancy, and providing a novel reference for studying the prediction of GDM.

Maternal metabolic factors and the association with gestational diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2022; 38:e3532. [PMID: 35421281 PMCID: PMC9540632 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.3532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Revised: 01/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with several adverse outcomes for the mother and child. Higher levels of individual lipids are associated with risk of GDM and metabolic syndrome (MetS), a clustering of risk factors also increases risk for GDM. Metabolic factors can be modified by diet and lifestyle. This review comprehensively evaluates the association between MetS and its components, measured in early pregnancy, and risk for GDM. Databases (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) were searched from inception to 5 May 2021. Eligible studies included ≥1 metabolic factor (waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), measured at <16 weeks' gestation. At least two authors independently screened potentially eligible studies. Heterogeneity was quantified using I2 . Data were pooled by random-effects models and expressed as odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Of 7213 articles identified, 40 unique articles were included in meta-analysis. In analyses adjusting for maternal age and body mass index, GDM was increased with increasing FPG (odds ratios [OR] 1.92; 95% CI 1.39-2.64, k = 7 studies) or having MetS (OR 2.52; 1.65, 3.84, k = 3). Women with overweight (OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.89, 2.50, k = 12) or obesity (OR 4.34; 95% CI 2.79-6.74, k = 9) also were at increased risk for GDM. Early pregnancy assessment of glucose or the MetS, offers a potential opportunity to detect and treat individual risk factors as an approach towards GDM prevention; weight loss for pregnant women with overweight or obesity is not recommended. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42020199225.

Gestational hypertriglyceridemia and adverse pregnancy outcomes: A search for cutoffs using generalized additive models. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2022; 186:109820. [PMID: 35247522 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.109820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 02/07/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore cutoffs of gestational hypertriglyceridemia based on the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS Pregnant women who visited National Taiwan University Hospital for prenatal care were included. Fasting plasma TG in the first and second trimesters were measured. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes and large for gestational age, were recorded and used in simple and multiple generalized additive models (GAM) to identify cutoffs for gestational hypertriglyceridemia. RESULTS We recruited 807 pregnant woman-newborn pairs. Using GAM analyses, we identified plasma TG at 95 or 140 mg/dL (1.07 or 1.58 mmol/L) in the first trimester, and 173 or 220 mg/dl (1.95 or 2.48 mmol/L) in the second trimester as potential cutoffs. Gestational hypertriglyceridemia defined by the higher cutoffs in both trimesters were associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and had a more reasonable prevalence and better specificity than the lower cutoffs (First trimester plasma TG ≥ 140 mg/dL, adjusted OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.17-5.69, p = 0.019, prevalence 19%, specificity 83%; Second trimester plasma TG ≥ 220 mg/dL, adjusted OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.00-2.87, p = 0.049, prevalence 19%, specificity 81%). CONCLUSIONS Fasting plasma TG ≥ 140 mg/dL in the first trimester and ≥ 220 mg/dL in the second trimester can be used as cutoffs of gestational hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in pregnancy shows epigenetic associations with intergenerational inheritance of metabolic diseases. The presence of different diagnostic criteria influences MetS prevalence estimates. We evaluated MetS and metabolic derangements to determine the utility of its assessment in early pregnancy. A cross-sectional analysis of metabolic derangements in pregnant women with period of gestation (POG) ≤ 12 weeks was done among Rajarata Pregnancy Cohort participants in Sri Lanka. 2682 women with mean age 27.9 year (SD-5.5) and median POG 8.0wk (IQR-3) were analyzed. Mean levels of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density-lipoprotein (HDL), low-density-lipoprotein (LDL), fasting plasma glucose, and 2 h oral glucose tolerance test were 87.71 (SD 38.7), 172.2 (SD 34.7), 49.6 (SD 11.5), 122.6 (SD 32.3), 82.2 (SD 12.8) and 120.3 (SD 11.5) respectively. All serum lipids except LDL increase significantly from 6 to 12 weeks, with TG by 23 and TC by 8 units. High MetS prevalence was observed with AHA/NHLBI (n = 150, 5.6%, 95% CI 4.8–6.5) followed by IDF (n = 144, 5.4%, 95% CI 4.6–6.3), NCEP-ATP III (n = 112, 4.2%, 95% CI 3.4–5.0) and WHO (n = 81, 3.0%, 95% CI 2.4–3.7) definitions respectively. Significant difference in prevalence was noted among different sociodemographic characteristics (p < 0.001). Regardless of the criterion used, the change of metabolic parameters in early pregnancy leads to significant differences in prevalence estimates of MetS. The best MetS definition concerning pregnancy outcomes needs to be determined with prospective studies.

Longitudinal trends in lipid profiles during pregnancy: Association with gestational diabetes mellitus and longitudinal trends in insulin indices. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1080633.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of trends in lipid profiles from first to second trimester with trends in insulin indices and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS Secondary analysis of an ongoing prospective cohort study was conducted on 1234 pregnant women in a single center. Lipid profiles, glucose metabolism and insulin indices were collected in the first and second trimesters. Trends in lipid profiles were divided into four subgroups: low-to-low, high-to-high, high-to-low and low-to-high group. Insulin indices including homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index were calculated to evaluate insulin resistance (IR). Trends in insulin indices were described as: no IR, persistent IR, first-trimester IR alone and second-trimester IR alone. Pearson correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to assess the associations of lipid profiles subgroups with insulin indices and GDM. RESULTS First- and second-trimester total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were strongly correlated to first- and second-trimester insulin indices. Only TG had a sustained correlation with glucose metabolism indices. High-to-high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) was an independent risk factor for GDM. High-to-high TG and high-to-low TG groups were independent risk factors for persistent IR. High-to-high TG and low-to-high TG groups were independent risk factors for second-trimester IR alone. CONCLUSION TG has a sustained correlation with insulin indices and glucose metabolism indices. Persistently high TG is an independent risk factor for persistent IR and second-trimester IR alone. Regardless of whether pregnant women have first-trimester IR, lower TG levels help reduce the risk for persistent IR or subsequent development of IR. These results highlight the benefit of lowering TG levels in early and middle pregnancy to prevent the development of IR.

Analysis and Intervention of Factors Affecting Abnormal Postpartum Glucose Tolerance and Gestational Recurrence in Gestational Diabetes. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2021; 2021:8470944. [PMID: 34697551 PMCID: PMC8541864 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8470944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors of abnormal postpartum glucose tolerance and pregnancy recurrence in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to develop reasonable interventions to prevent postpartum glucose tolerance and recurrence of pregnancy. Methods. Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 238 GDM patients during pregnancy, including age, body mass index (BMI) before and after pregnancy, regular exercise during pregnancy, insulin use, family history of diabetes, fasting blood glucose (FPG) during pregnancy, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 2 h time value, blood lipid index, and whether pregnant again. At the same time, the women were followed up by telephone or home visits to understand and guide the patient's diet and exercise. The clinical characteristics of the two groups of patients were compared. According to the OGTT test, the recovery of glucose tolerance in pregnant women 6–8 weeks postpartum was divided into the normal postpartum glucose tolerance group and the abnormal group. Logistic multivariate analysis was used to find the influencing factors of postpartum glucose tolerance and recurrence of pregnancy. Results. Between 238 patients of followed-up, 150 pregnant women had abnormal postpartum glucose tolerance, accounting for 63.03%. There were 115 repregnants, of whom 37 (32.17%) had a recurrence of postpartum glucose tolerance. Pre and postpregnancy BMI, insulin use during pregnancy, family history of diabetes, FPG during pregnancy, OGTT 2 h values, and triglyceride (TG) were independent risk factors for abnormal postpartum diabetes and recurrence of pregnancy in GDM patients. Conclusions. Patients with GDM are at high risk of postpartum abnormal glucose tolerance and pregnancy recurrence, which may be influenced by the pregnant woman's prepregnancy and postpartum BMI, insulin use during pregnancy, family history of diabetes, FPG, OGGT 2 h values during pregnancy, and TG levels. Therefore, health education for pregnant women should be strengthened in the clinic, with guidance on proper diet for weight control, increased exercise, and regular blood glucose screening and monitoring for those at risk.
