Completed
Conditions
Pregnancy Complications Affecting Fetus (Diagnosis)
Registration Number
NCT03563638
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital
Brief Summary

To investigate the association of maternal serum concentrations of pentraxin 3 in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus and to explore its potential value in the prediction of GDM.

Detailed Description

We recruited all pregnant women for the first checkup in our hospital . Maternal fasting serum PTX3 levels, fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin and other factors were measured. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at 24-28 weeks in all participants. According to the occurrence of GDM, subjects were divided into two groups: GDM group and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group.
