Ketosis-prone diabetes and SLE co-presenting in an African lady with previous gestational diabetes

A new mathematical mixed effect model was used for analysing the influencing factors of hypoglycaemia of newborns from women with gestational diabetes mellitus

A mathematical mixed effect model was established to analyse the factors of neonatal hypoglycaemia of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). 229 cases of GDM patients were enrolled in this study. The data were analysed by logarithmic transformation of non-normal distribution. Furthermore, the mathematical model was used to analyse influencing factors of hypoglycaemia of neonatal from women with GDM. The results showed that the blood glucose distribution level had a trend of increasing with time, which indicates that it is necessary to strengthen blood glucose intervention of newborns from GDM maternal and provides a data for the timely detection of hypoglycaemia in GDM newborns. Furthermore, we successfully established the GDM newborn blood glucose level mixed mathematical model. From this model, we calculated the GDM newborn blood glucose normal confidence interval based on mixed factors. The results indicate that the minimum value of blood glucose level in GDM newborns did not exceed the risk level 2.2 mmol/L. We concluded that the mathematical mixed effect model is successfully established, from which the change discipline of blood glucose level of newborn from GDM parturient are found. Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? The morbidity of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in China has been increased. However, the clinical data is difficult to be collected and the data that is used for statistics is not enough, which makes it difficult to understand the neonatal hypoglycaemia of GDM more clearly.What do the results of this study add? In this study, we successfully established a mathematical mixed effect model of neonatal hypoglycaemia of women with GDM, which can investigate the influence factor of hypoglycaemia of newborn from women with GDM to find the discipline of blood glucose level of newborn from GDM parturient via mathematical model.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Our research helps to better understand and improve the health problem of pregnant women with GDM and their newborn babies.
