Gestational Weight Gain Criteria for Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in China

February 19, 2023 updated by: Women's Hospital School Of Medicine Zhejiang University

Establishment of Gestational Weight Gain Criteria for Pregnant Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in China: a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Appropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) is a key factor in balancing maternal and neonatal needs of nourishment and health, which is especially important in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, there are no specific guidelines for GWG in Chinese pregnant women and even for GDM pregnant women.This project intends to fill in the gaps of this field through multi-center large sample prospective cohort study.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Inappropriate gestational weight gain (GWG) is an important risk factor affecting adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the current guidelines for GWG are based on American population and may not apply to pregnant women in China, especially for those with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) who have high risk factors. The big gaps in academic-related fields need to be filled.

Our research group has previously found the heterogeneous relationships between GWG and adverse outcomes in GDM women with different abnormal glucose metabolism. Therefore, based on the principles of precision medicine, this project intends to establish for the first time the GWG standard for Chinese pregnant women to optimize the GWG management through a multicenter prospective cohort study. At the same time, specific GWG guidelines applicable to GDM women with different glucose metabolism abnormalities were innovatively constructed. Our study will provide strong evidence for stratified management and precise intervention of GDM pregnant women, which is of great significance to ensure health of both mothers and their offspring.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 49 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This project intends to recruit pregnant women who go to the research center for routine prenatal examination and OGTT screening.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Maternal age: 20-49 years;
  • Natural conception;
  • Single pregnancy;
  • Plan to have routine prenatal examinations and give birth in the research center;
  • No plan to move within two years;
  • No second pregnancy within two years;
  • Willing to cooperate with the hospital to follow up after childbirth.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have diseases that affect metabolic function or even threaten the life of the mother and fetus before pregnancy, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, liver and kidney diseases, thyroid diseases, autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, AIDS, etc.;
  • Assisted reproduction;
  • Multiple pregnancy;
  • Fetus has a known deformity or genetic defects;
  • Incomplete clinical data.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maternal outcomes
Time Frame: Through delivery completion, up to 40 weeks
Including pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm delivery, abortion, delivery way and so on. They are diagnosed by clinicians and the data is gathered from medical records.
Through delivery completion, up to 40 weeks
Neonatal outcomes
Time Frame: Through delivery completion, up to 40 weeks
Birth weight（in gram), birth height (in centimetre), gestational week (in week) and so on. They are diagnosed by clinicians and the data is gathered from medical records.
Through delivery completion, up to 40 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
glucose metabolism index
Time Frame: postpartum 42 days
OGTT results (mmol/L), HbA1c (%) and so on
postpartum 42 days
offspring
Time Frame: postpartum 42 days
weight (in gram), height (in centimetre), feeding situation (breast feeding or artificial feeding) and so on.
postpartum 42 days
annual follow-up results
Time Frame: 1 or 2 years after delivery
Annual questionnaire and physical examination, including weight (in kilogram), height (in metre), disease history, diet surveys and so on.
1 or 2 years after delivery
