Summary: | Background
This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal insulin resistance (IR) in the late second trimester and pregnancy outcomes, as well as to identify risk factors of IR among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods
A retrospective study was conducted among 2647 women diagnosed with GDM. IR was evaluated using the homeostasis model assessment method for IR (HOMA‐IR) in the late second trimester (between 24 and 28 weeks), and the lipid profiles were measured at the same time. Patients were divided into groups based on quartiles of HOMA‐IR. The information on pregnancy outcomes and risk factors was extracted from the medical records of all participants and entered electronically. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between HOMA‐IR and pregnancy outcomes, as well as the associations between risk factors and HOMA‐IR.
Results
Greater IR was associated with cesarean delivery, preterm delivery, macrosomia, and large for gestational age newborns, but only significantly associated with preterm delivery after adjustment for potential confounders (P |
