ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Since women with GDM have an increased risk to develop type 2 DM, a 75 g OGTT is recommended 6-12 weeks postpartum for all women with GDM. However, screening rates remain low. The aim of this study was to find factors affect the rate of postpartum DM screening. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A retrospective cohort study between 2016 and 2017 at the Soroka Medical Center, comparing women with GDM who underwent postpartum DM screening test to those who did not.RESULTS:
257 women who had a diagnosis of GDM and met the inclusion criteria were included. 53 (20.6%) had a postpartum DM screening test and 204 (79.4%) did not complete the postpartum DM screening. Women who underwent a DM screening postpartum were more likely to be older, with significantly higher rates of vacuum-assisted delivery, more likely to be diagnosed with GDMA2 as compared to GDMA1 during pregnancy and, with high probability of receiving recommendations for screening at a postpartum visit.CONCLUSIONS:
The rates of postpartum DM screening for women with GDM are low and need to increase. Age greater than 25, vacuum delivery, GDMA2, and having received a recommendation for postpartum screening increased the likelihood of undergoing a postpartum DM screening.Key words
