Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity first diagnosed during pregnancy. Although universal screening for gestational diabetes mellitus is practiced by more than 75% of obstetricians in the United States, agreement is lacking worldwide regarding the appropriateness of this approach. This article discusses the assumption that some type of screening program is desirable and considers how best to conduct screening and diagnostic testing for gestational diabetes mellitus.
妊娠期糖尿病被定义为在孕期首次诊断出的严重程度各异的碳水化合物不耐受。尽管美国超过75%的产科医生都对妊娠期糖尿病进行普遍筛查，但全球对于这种筛查方法的适宜性尚未达成共识。本文探讨了开展某种筛查项目的必要性这一假设，并思考如何以最佳方式对妊娠期糖尿病进行筛查和诊断检测。
