The evolution of gestational diabetes is most often marked by preventable maternal-foetal complications. The objective of this study was to identify factors inuencing the development of pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes. This was a retrospective and analytical study including women with gestational diabetes and treated in gynaecological services in Dakar and its suburbs between 2018 and 2019. A total of 24 women with gestational diabetes were recruited. The mean age of the patients was 29.9 ± 6.45 years (18-45) with a predominance of women over 30 years old. Dyslipidaemias were frequent (91.2%) with a predominance of hypercholesterolemia (n = 13, 54.2%) followed by hyperLDLemia (n = 10, 41.7%). The atherogenic risk was high with the TG / HDL (12.5%) and Apo B / A (20.83%) ratios. A positive correlation was noted between homocysteine and total cholesterol (r = 0.457, p = 0.025), LDL (r = 0.449, p = 0.028), triglycerides (r = 0.540, p = 0.006), apolipoproteins A (r = 0.463, p = 0.023) and B (r = 0.480, p = 0.018), urea (r = 0.0671, p <0.0001) and creatinine (r = 0.0673, p <0, 0001). The development of the pregnancy was marked by caesarean deliveries (54.2%) and macrosomia (8.3%). The factors which were identied in relation to the caesarean section were delayed diagnosis of GD, history of personal abortion (RR (CI) = 2.04 (0.4 - 10.6)), multiparity (RR (CI)) = 2.3 (0.4 - 12.7)) and the advanced age of the woman (RR (CI) = 2.1 (0.5 - 14.4)). The biological monitoring of women with gestational diabetes must consider the dosage of lipid parameters extended to apolipoproteins and homocysteine for a favourable outcome of the pregnancy
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
