About this trial

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.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Pregnant women

    Diagnostic test

    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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of GDM diagnosed during pregnancy.

The 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).

Time frame
At trimester 1

Secondary outcomes

1

Fetal morbidity

Incidence of fetal death in utero

Time frame
Between the day of delivery and the following day
2

Obstetrical outcome

Incidence of labor induction, caesarean section, instrumental delivery.

Time frame
Between the day of delivery and the following day
3
