“…Results: (1) In this cohort of 3268 GDM cases, the composition ratios of the 7 GDM subtypes were as follows: T0 (7.9%, n=260), T1 (24.2%, n=791), T2 (27.4%, n=897), T0+1 (5.4%, n=175), T0+2 (1.7%, n=56), T1+2 (26.2%, n=855), and T0+1+2 (7.2%, n=234). (2) GDM subtypes with elevated FBG levels (GDM-HR) exhibit more severe adverse prognostic outcomes compared to those without elevated FBG levels (GDM-LR). (3) Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that compared to the GDM-LR group, the GDM-HR group showed increased fetal birth weight (by approximately 150 grams), and had higher rates of cesarean section (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19–1.76), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (aOR: 1.78, 95% CI: 1.35–2.35), preterm birth (aOR: 1.59, 95% CI: 1.17–2.16), macrosomia (aOR: 2.66, 95% CI: 2.07–3.43), LGA infants (aOR: 2.46, 95% CI: 2.05–2.97), and neonatal hypoglycemia (aOR: 2.00, 95% CI: 1.37–2.91). …”
