Prevalence and risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in women with gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: This study aims to explore the risk factors in the progression of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Material and methods: Relevant studies were comprehensively searched from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase up to March 12. Data extraction was performed. Differences in risk factors were presented as odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). The quality of the included studies was assessed through the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality scale. Results: This meta-analysis encompassed 46 studies involving a total of 196,494 patients. The factors most strongly associated with the risk of developing T2DM following GDM were the use of progestin-only contraceptives (odds ratio [OR]: 2.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.00-4.45, P = 0.049), recurrence of GDM (OR: 2.63, 95% CI = 1.88-3.69, P < 0.001), insulin use during pregnancy (OR: 4.35, 95% CI = 3.17-5.96, P < 0.001), pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) (OR: 2.97, 95% CI = 2.16-4.07, P < 0.001), BMI after delivery (OR: 4.17, 95% CI = 2.58-6.74, P < 0.001), macrosomia (OR: 3.30, 95% CI = 1.45-7.49, P = 0.04), hypertension (OR: 5.19, 95% CI = 1.31-20.51, P = 0.019), and HbA1c levels (OR: 3.32, 95% CI = 1.81-6.11, P < 0.001). Additionally, age (OR: 1.71, 95% CI = 1.23-2.38, P = 0.001), family history of diabetes (OR: 1.47, 95% CI = 1.27-1.70, P < 0.001), BMI during pregnancy (OR: 1.06, 95% CI = 1.00-1.12, P = 0.056), fasting blood glucose (FBG) (OR: 1.58, 95% CI = 1.36-1.84, P < 0.001), 1-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (OR: 1.38, 95% CI = 1.02-1.87, P = 0.037), and 2-hour OGTT (OR: 1.54, 95% CI = 1.28-1.58, P < 0.001) were identified as moderate-risk factors for the development of T2DM. Conclusion: The systematic review and meta-analysis identified several moderate- to high-risk factors associated with the progression of T2DM in individuals with a history of GDM. These risk factors include the use of progestin-only contraceptives, pre-pregnancy BMI, BMI after delivery, macrosomia, hypertension, persistently elevated levels of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 1-hour and 2-hour oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), age, and family history of diabetes. Our findings serve as evidence for the early prevention and clinical intervention of the progression from GDM to T2DM and offer valuable insights to guide healthcare professionals in formulating customized management and treatment strategies for female patients with diverse forms of 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.
