Abstract: BackgroundThe best strategy to identify women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is unclear.Objectives To perform a systematic review to calculate summary estimates of the sensitivity and specificity of the 50-g glucose challenge test for GDM.Search strategy Systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science.Selection criteria Articles that compared the 50-g glucose challenge test with the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT, with a 75-or 100-g reference standard) before 32 weeks of gestation.Data col… Show more

“…It was, thus, unlikely that lack of direct control for physical activity would materially affect our results in comparison with those of previous studies [1], [4], [5], [6]. The 1-hour and the 2-hour glucose tolerance test may differ in the subject classified as diabetic [47]. The resultant potential “misclassification” is undifferentiated with respect to the outcome and would attenuate the association.…”

“…Furthermore, women with GDM have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus within 5-15 years of delivery [3], while children exposed prenatally to a diabetic milieu also have an increased risk for the development of type 2 diabetes during later life [4]. Currently, GDM screening tests are used to identify women with GDM [5], who are normally treated either with diet or insulin. Despite the better detection of GDM and subsequent therapy, the underlying pathophysiology of GDM is largely unknown.…”

“…The screening threshold value is usually set between 7.2 and 7.8 mmol/l. 227 The OGCT was not administered to women in the BiB 22 or Atlantic DIP 59 cohorts, but was included in the model as an alternative to risk factor screening strategies.…”
