The aim of the present study was to assess the role of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in screening of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to compare its efficacy with 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (World Health Organization [WHO]) screening criteria.
A prospective observational study was performed on a total of 260 women attending antenatal outpatient department of our hospital at 24-28 weeks of gestation. All women underwent 75-g OGTT testing, and WHO 1999 criteria was used for diagnosis of GDM. Also, a HbA1c test was performed for the same women.
Prevalence of GDM was found to be 19.6% by OGTT. Mean HbA1c values in GDM was significantly higher than non-GDM. HbA1c correlated well with both fasting and 2 h postprandial levels but there was better correlation with 2-h postprandial level.
The incidence of gestational diabetes is rising in South-East Asian countries, especially in India. HBA1c could be a potential screening test for GDM.
本研究旨在评估糖化血红蛋白A1c（HbA1c）在妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）筛查中的作用，并将其与75克口服葡萄糖耐量试验（OGTT）（世界卫生组织[WHO]）筛查标准的效果进行比较。
对我院产前门诊24至28周妊娠的260名妇女进行了一项前瞻性观察研究。所有妇女均接受了75克OGTT检测，并采用WHO 1999标准诊断GDM。同时，对这些妇女进行了HbA1c检测。
通过OGTT发现GDM患病率为19.6%。GDM患者的平均HbA1c值显著高于非GDM患者。HbA1c与空腹及餐后2小时血糖水平均有良好相关性，但与餐后2小时血糖水平的相关性更好。
东南亚国家，尤其是印度，妊娠期糖尿病的发病率正在上升。HbA1c可能是GDM的一种潜在筛查试验。
