Brief summary

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of macrosomia and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Screening strategies are debated: universal vs. selective, and macrosomia may begin before the time of screening, suggesting that glycation markers may have an interest. The objective of this trail is to compare novel markers: skin autofluorescence and glycated albumin, to HbA1c (reference) as predictors of GDM, macrosomia and other adverse outcomes, in pregnant women.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPregnant women

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (such as macrosomia). The lack of early clinical symptoms leads to screen pregnant women for GDM, and the strategies of screening are a matter of debate. Interventions to control glucose levels in women with GDM have demonstrated efficacy in terms of macrosomia. However, macrosomia may start before the time of screening, suggesting that markers of glycation may have interest : skin autofluorescence, glycated albumin.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of GDM diagnosed during pregnancy.At trimester 1The primary outcome is the incidence of GDM diagnosed during pregnancy after inclusion in the trial. The measure is performed by fasting blood glucose:≥ 0.92 g/L and \< 1.26 g/L,or based on the result of the 75g OGTT performed at 24-28 weeks of amenorrhea, if glycemia at time 0 ≥ 92 mg/dL (5.06 mmol/L) and/or time 60min ≥ 180 mg/dL (9.9 mmol/L) and/or time 120min ≥153 mg/dL (8.42 mmol/L).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Neonatal morbidity 3Between the day of delivery and the following dayHospitalization in neonatology or neonatal intensive care unit
Fetal morbidityBetween the day of delivery and the following dayIncidence of fetal death in utero
Obstetrical outcomeBetween the day of delivery and the following dayIncidence of labor induction, caesarean section, instrumental delivery.
Neonatal morbidity 4Between the day of delivery and the following dayPresence of anoxic-ischemic encephalopath or neonatal seizure
Neonatal morbidity 1Between the day of delivery and the following dayIncidence of macrosomia (by birth weight ≥ 4,000g and Large for Gestational Age if ≥ 90th centiles according to sex and gestational age)
Neonatal morbidity 2Between the day of delivery and the following dayDocumentation of neonatal morbidity diagnosis
Maternal morbidityBetween the day of delivery and the following dayDocumentation of maternal morbidity diagnosis
