Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses abnormal glucose tests in pregnancy, indicating high prevalence of gestational diabetes.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the prevalence of abnormal glucose challenge and oral glucose tolerance tests during pregnancy.
  • Cross-sectional study among 480 antenatal women of 24-28 weeks gestation.
  • Conducted at College of Medical Science-Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Nepal from Jan-Dec 2020.
  • Ethical approval obtained from COMS-IRC.
  • Gestational diabetes mellitus prevalence was 6.04%, with 12.5% showing abnormal glucose challenge test.
  • 62.06% of women affected were aged 20-30 years.
  • 75.86% were multigravida, with a significant link to higher body mass index (p=0.01) and family history of diabetes (p=0.036).
