Evaluation of random plasma glucose versus oral glucose challenge test (OGCT) with 50 gm glucose as a screening test for gestational diabetes mellitus followed by confirmation with oral glucose tolerance test in screen positive patients

Dr. V. Srilakshmi

Abstract :

<p><p>Background: Diabetes is estimated to complicate 2–5% of all pregnancies. 90% of those are detected during pregnancy i.e. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and the rest are overt or pregestational i.e. either type I or type II. Increased awareness and availability of many screening methods detected Gestational Diabetes Mellitus early and controlled further effects on the mother or fetus and also prevented long term complications to both mother and fetus. In this study we have evaluated the efficacy of RBS and GCT as screening test for GDM.</p></p>
