FERNANDEZ POMBO, Carmen Neri et al. The importance of detecting risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus. Index Enferm [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.1-2, pp.18-21. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective: To determine the risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) based on the relationship of factors of risk for GDM with the diagnosis. Methods: A descriptive, prospective, transversal study realized in a sample of 444 pregnant women during February and May 2013. The data collected were treated with SPSS. P value significant <0.05. Results: The prevalence of GDM was described by 11.3%, 28.0% presenting two or more risk factors, 42.0% one risk factor and 30.0% no risk factors (p< 0.001). The risk of GDM in pregnant women with two or more risk factors was 3.7 (95% CI 1.7 to 8.4) and 2.3 (95% CI 1.1 to 4.7) for those with one risk factor. Conclusions: To detect risk factors for GDM help to reduce the complications associated with this disease.
