![]() ![]() ![]() 25.1%, p<0.026), but no difference was seen in the rate of large (90th centile: 9,5% vs. The number of operative deliveries was increased in women with GDM (33.7 vs. Mode of delivery and fetal outcome data of 246 pregnancies with GDM could be analyzed and compared with 1,400 pregnancies without GDM. The test was accepted in 97% (N=1,943) of the women, and of those tested positively, immediate referral to an outpatient diabetes practice was accepted in 95% (N=258) as well as the suggested management. Results: GDM prevalence was 14% (N=272) for the complete study group, and for women without risk 5.0% (N=11). GDM was defined as whole-capillary blood glucose over 160 mg/dl after one hour. Testing was performed in an overall total of 1,943 women. Women without risk were tested at 24-28 weeks of gestation. If the result was negative, testing was repeated at 24-28 weeks and at 32-34 weeks, if the result had been negative again. If the women showed at least one risk factor, the glucose testing was performed immediately following confirmation of pregnancy. All women received a standardized one-step 75-gram glucose load with glucose measurement in whole-capillary blood using a HemoCueB device. In our pilot project, we recruited 2,000 pregnant women, under 12 weeks, in 20 obstetric practices in Schleswig-Holstein between 19. Aim and Method: The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of GDM in unselected pregnant women, to observe the course of pregnancy, and to document and analyze the perinatal outcome data. The nationwide perinatal survey 1995-97 showed a mean rate of GDM less than 0.5%. Background: There is insufficient knowledge on the population-based prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Germany.
