Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common complication of pregnancy that arises in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, leading to significant complications for the mother and her neonates, such as an increased rate of pregnancy-induced hypertension and miscarriages, while neonates may have a large birth weight, hypoglycemia, or macrosomnia. Numerous risk factors can lead to GDM; however, a significant one is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is the most common endocrine pathology beginning before puberty, and due to significant hormonal changes, it is not diagnosed until after puberty. PCOS requires at least three of the following symptoms: hyperandrogenism, menstrual irregularities, or polycystic ovary morphology. While it is agreed that women with PCOS are at a significantly increased risk of GDM, no publication to our knowledge has evaluated the full relationship of GDM in the setting of PCOS. This paper aimed to assess this relationship and determine how it may differ for pregnant women with only GDM by determining the prevalence of GDM, the variations within phenotypes, the influence of fertilization methods, specific risk factors, maternal outcomes, and neonatal outcomes. The prevalence of GDM was significantly increased in women with PCOS compared to healthy controls, and some studies have found that phenotype A may be more likely to lead to GDM. Risk factors were similar to pregnant women with only GDM, but with GDM and PCOS specifically, preconception low sex hormone-binding globulin, increased BMI > 25 kg/m2, and preconception impaired glucose tolerance were specific. While maternal outcomes were similar to pregnant women with only GDM, women with GDM and PCOS were even more likely to develop pregnancy-induced hypertension and early miscarriage. Neonates from mothers with GDM and PCOS were more likely to have low birth weights compared to mothers with just GDM who had high birth weights. The evaluation of the relationship between GDM and PCOS allows for illumination of the need to evaluate influences that currently lack research, such as phenotype variation and influences of fertilization method. This also promotes the need to develop predictive algorithms based on risk factors to prevent these adverse outcomes for mothers and neonates.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review provides an update on gestational diabetes (GDM) and other adverse pregnancy outcomes in individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), one of the most common metabolic disorders and causes of infertility. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies using Rotterdam diagnostic criteria for PCOS have supported prior literature suggesting that pregnant individuals with PCOS are at an increased risk of GDM. Risk factors for GDM in this population include overweight/obesity, insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, amenorrhea, and history of miscarriage. It is possible that subtypes of PCOS (metabolic vs. lean/reproductive) pose differential risk. There are no current screening or treatment guidelines specifically for individuals with PCOS for GDM prevention. Although metformin has been studied for GDM prevention in PCOS, there has been no proven benefit. For infertility treatment, assisted reproductive technology and in-vitro fertilization do not appear to increase the risk of GDM in individuals with PCOS desiring pregnancy. SUMMARY Recent studies of pregnant individuals with PCOS suggest an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including GDM. Larger, prospective studies using standardized diagnostic criteria are warranted to determine if the risk is from PCOS generally, or if there are subtypes of PCOS (metabolic vs. lean/reproductive) at a higher risk of GDM than others.

Abstract
Over the last few decades, several definitions of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have been described. There is currently not enough research to show which way is the best to diagnose GDM. Opinions differ in terms of the optimal screening and diagnostic measures, in part due to the differences in the population risks, the cost-effectiveness considerations, and the lack of an evidence base to support large national screening programs. The basic method for identifying the disease is the measurement of glucose plasma levels which may be determined when fasting, two hours after a meal, or simply at any random time. The currently increasing incidence of diabetes in the whole population, the altering demographics and the presence of lifestyle changes still require better methods of screening for hyperglycemia, especially during pregnancy. The main aim of this review is to focus on the prevalence and modifications to the screening criteria for GDM across all continents in the 21st century. We would like to show the differences in the above issues and correlate them with the geographical situation. Looking at the history of diabetes, we are sure that more than one evolution in GDM diagnosis will occur, due to the development of medicine, appearance of modern technologies, and the dynamic continuation of research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that polycystic ovary syndrome is a predictor of gestational diabetes mellitus, but we do not know exactly how many polycystic ovary syndrome patients may develop gestational diabetes mellitus. Currently, the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus among women with polycystic ovary syndrome varies greatly across studies, ranged from 4.12% to 59.50%. Besides, many factors have been found to be related to the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, but the results among different studies are not consistent. The possible causes of inconsistencies between the current estimates were unclear. This review aimed at exploring the pooled incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, summarizing possible causes of the inconsistencies in the current estimates, try to provide a reference for prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus and polycystic ovary syndrome in the future. METHODS Systematic searches of different databases (including EMBASE, Web of Science, MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and PubMed) were conducted for studies published until 31 May 2021. Statistical analyses were performed using R software, the pooled incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus among polycystic ovary syndrome patients was combined using random effects model. Cochrane's "Tool to Assess Risk of Bias in Cohort Studies" was used for quality assessment. RESULTS Twenty-two longitudinal studies were included. A total of 24,574 women with polycystic ovary syndrome were identified in the 22 articles, of which 4478 were reported with gestational diabetes mellitus. The pooled incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus among women with polycystic ovary syndrome was 20.64%, with a 95% CI of 14.64% to 28.30%. In the meta-regression model, several variables including age, area, quality score and sample size were suggested as significant sources of heterogeneity, accounted for 77.57% of the heterogeneity across studies. CONCLUSIONS Evidence in this review suggests that gestational diabetes mellitus were common among women with polycystic ovary syndrome. More research is needed to found effective interventions for preventing gestational diabetes mellitus among women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preeclampsia (PE) are common pregnancy complications with similar risk factors and pathophysiological changes. Evidence from previous studies suggests that the incidence of PE is significantly increased in women with GDM, but whether GDM is independently related to the occurrence of PE has remained controversial. GDM complicated by PE further increases perinatal adverse events with greater impact on the future maternal and offspring health. Identify factors associated with PE in women with GDM women, specifically those that are controllable, is important for improving pregnancy outcomes. This paper provides the findings of a review on the correlation between GDM and PE, factors associated with PE in women with GDM, possible mechanisms, and predictive markers. Most studies concluded that GDM is independently associated with PE in singleton pregnancy, and optimizing the treatment and management of GDM can reduce the incidence of PE, which is very helpful to improve pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) associated with more adverse infant outcomes in mothers with different types of diabetes? SUMMARY ANSWER The presence of PCOS implies higher risks of total (medically indicated and spontaneously combined) and spontaneous preterm birth in mothers with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and lower risk of offspring being large for gestational age (LGA) in mothers with insulin-treated diabetes. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY PCOS is suggested to be an independent risk factor for adverse infant outcomes, and it is highly prevalent in mothers with diabetes. However, the impact of PCOS on the associations of different types of maternal diabetes with preterm birth and offspring birth sizes has not been reported. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This is a population-based cohort study including all live births between 1996 and 2014 in Finland. Children with concurrent maternal diagnoses that could cause signs and symptoms similar to PCOS were excluded. A total of 1 097 753 children were included. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS National registries were linked to identify births with maternal PCOS (n = 24 682), stratified by diabetes types. Logistic regression was used to examine the association of maternal PCOS and comorbid insulin-treated diabetes, non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes or GDM with offspring LGA and small for gestational age (SGA). Generalized estimating equation was used to assess the risk of preterm birth in relation to maternal PCOS and diabetes. Potential interaction between PCOS and diabetes was evaluated on both additive and multiplicative scales. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Using mothers with no PCOS and no diabetes as the reference and adjusting for maternal and birth factors, there were higher risks of total (odds ratio (OR) 2.84, 95% CI 2.21 − 3.66 vs. OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.77 − 2.07, P = 0.01) and spontaneous (OR 4.02, 95% CI 2.94 − 5.50 vs. OR 2.35, 95% CI 2.13 − 2.59, P = 0.001) preterm birth for those with PCOS in mothers with non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes and higher risks of total (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.27–1.58 vs. OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.86–0.91, P = 0.0001) and spontaneous (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.59–2.05 vs. OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98–1.05, P = 0.0001) preterm birth for those with PCOS in mothers with GDM. Among mothers with type 2 diabetes, further adjusting for maternal BMI eliminated the difference in preterm birth risks between those with and those without PCOS, and adjustment for infertility treatment and pre-eclampsia also reduced the preterm risks associated with PCOS significantly. For mothers with GDM, however, the risks of total and spontaneous preterm birth remained higher for those with PCOS following these aforementioned adjustments or stratified analysis. The risk of offspring being LGA was lower for those with PCOS than those without PCOS among mothers with insulin-treated diabetes (OR 18.90, 95% CI 14.21–25.14 vs. OR 32.04, 95% CI 29.79–34.46, P = 0.0001), showing departure from additivity (relative excess risk due to interaction −11.74, 95% CI −16.17 to −7.31, P < 0.001) and multiplicativity (P < 0.001). PCOS did not alter the risk estimate of preterm birth in mothers with insulin-treated diabetes or offspring LGA and SGA in mothers with type 2 diabetes or GDM. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The register-based diagnoses used in this study captured only women with PCOS seeking medical care and having live births. Including female infertility associated with anovulation as PCOS exposure was a risk for misclassification. Sample sizes for pregestational diabetes were small. Insulin purchase during pregnancy in those without a diabetes diagnosis was not accounted for in the analysis. For patients treated with insulin or other medications, we were unable to assess how they complied with such prescriptions. Also, maternal BMI was recorded only once in early pregnancy, thus the potential influence of gestational weight gain on birth outcomes could not be examined. Data on the causes for preterm birth were not available from the registers. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The presence of PCOS implied higher risks of total and spontaneous preterm birth in mothers with type 2 diabetes or GDM, and lower risk of offspring being LGA in mothers with insulin-treated diabetes. The higher risks of preterm birth added by PCOS could be explained by prepregnancy BMI or in part by infertility treatment and pre-eclampsia in maternal non-insulin-treated type 2 diabetes, but not in maternal GDM. The differential effects of PCOS on the associations of different types of maternal diabetes with infant outcomes have implications for preventative strategies and clinical counseling for affected pregnancies.

Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance Is Associated With Late Miscarriage in Non-Dyslipidemic Women Undergoing Fresh IVF/ICSI Embryo Transfer. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:880518. [PMID: 35784578 PMCID: PMC9247267 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.880518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the associations between homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and pregnancy outcomes in non-dyslipidemic infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study involving 3,615 non-dyslipidemic infertile women who attend to the Reproductive Medicine Center of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University (CSU) between January 2014 and October 2021. Eligible participants were divided into three groups according to the quartiles of HOMA-IR: Group 1 (HOMA-IR <1.46), Group 2 (1.46 to <2.71) and Group 3 (HOMA-IR ≥2.71). Baseline data, clinical characteristics during the assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure, pregnancy, and neonatal outcomes were compared among the three groups. Subgroup analysis based on presence or absence of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) status was also performed to analyze the effects of HOMA-IR among non-PCOS populations. RESULTS The late miscarriage rate and percentage of macrosomia increased with the HOMA-IR group (for late miscarriage rate: 2.23% vs. 3.04% vs. 7.35%, P<0.001; for macrosomia: 0.21% vs. 1.70% vs. 3.23%, P=0.002). Increased HOMA-IR (HOMA-IR≥2.71) was positively associated with late miscarriage (crude OR 3.50, 95% CI 1.64-7.47, P=0.001; adjusted OR 3.56, 95% CI 1.56-8.15, P=0.003). In the subgroup analysis, there were 3,165 participants in the non-PCOS group and 450 were assigned to the PCOS group. Late miscarriage rate increased with the HOMA-IR group among non-PCOS populations (2.20% vs. 3.03% vs. 7.67%, P<0.001). Late miscarriage rate of PCOS women were comparable among the three HOMA-IR groups (2.50% vs. 3.06% vs. 5.71%, P=0.634). Among non-PCOS women, increased HOMA-IR (HOMA-IR≥2.71) was positively associated with late miscarriage (crude OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.66-8.30, P=0.001; adjusted OR 3.82, 95% CI 1.59-9.17, P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS Late miscarriage rate and prevalence of macrosomia increased with the HOMA-IR index. Preconception HOMA-IR is an independent risk factor for late miscarriage in normolipidemic women undergoing IVF/ICSI-ET. Controlling insulin resistance before ART might prevent the occurrence of late miscarriage and macrosomia.
