Abstract

The aim was to assess the role of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) diagnostic markers, recommended by three different guidelines, in the prediction of hyperglycemia in pregnancy. This cross-sectional cohort study included 506 non-diabetic women, with a singleton pregnancy, who underwent a diagnostic test for hyperglycemia at 24-28 weeks. Clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory data were obtained. The relationship between MetS markers and the risk of hyperglycemia was evaluated by backward stepwise logistic regression analysis (OR, 95% CI). The limit of statistical significance was 95% (p < 0.05). Triglycerides (TG) >= 150 mg/dL, blood pressure (BP) >= 130/85 mmHg, fasting glucose (FG) >= 100 mg/dL, and waist circumference (WC) > 88 cm were identified as independent risk factors for hyperglycemia in pregnancy. These results might help the selective screening of hyperglycemia in pregnancy. (AU)
