Development and internal validation of a model to predict type 2 diabetic complications after gestational diabetes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of early-onset type 2 diabetes, which further exacerbates the risk of developing diabetic complications such as kidney, circulatory, and neurological complications. Yet, existing models have solely focused on the prediction of type 2 diabetes, and not of its complications, which are arguably the most clinically relevant outcomes. Our aim was to develop a prediction model for type 2 diabetic complications in patients with GDM. Using provincial administrative data from Quebec, Canada, we developed a model to predict type 2 diabetic complications within 10 years among 90,143 women with GDM. The model was internally validated and assessed for discrimination, calibration, and risk stratification accuracy. The incidence of diabetic complications was 3.8 (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.4-4.3) per 10,000 person-years. The final prediction model included maternal age, socioeconomic deprivation, substance use disorder, gestational age at delivery, severe maternal morbidity, previous pregnancy complications, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. The model had good discrimination [area under the curve (AUROC) 0.72 (95% CI 0.69-0.74)] and calibration (slope ≥ 0.9) to predict diabetic complications. In the highest category of the risk stratification table, the positive likelihood ratio was 8.68 (95% CI 4.14-18.23), thereby showing a moderate ability to identify women at highest risk of developing type 2 diabetic complications. Our model predicts the risk of type 2 diabetic complications with moderate accuracy and, once externally validated, may prove to be a useful tool in the management of women after GDM.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
