title: Prospective studies on the relationship between the 50 g glucose challenge test and pregnant outcome.
abstract: The 50 g oral glucose challenge test (50gGCT) was performed on 622 pregnant women, and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75gGTT) was further done on subjects with screening tests value of > or = 7.78 mmol/L. The results showed that there were 16.56% (103/622) women with screening value of > or = 7.78 mmol/L, among whom, 32 were identified as having gestational impaired glucose tolerance (GIGT) and 12, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by confirmatory test of 75gGTT. The sensitivity of 50gGCT was 42.72%(44/103). The incidences of edema-proteinuria-hypertension syndrome (EPH-syndrome), premature rupture of membranes, fetal macrosomia, operative deliveries and perinatal morbidity were higher in women with GIGT/GDM than in women without GIGT/GDM. It suggests that 50gGCT is an ideal method of screening for GDM and should be performed on all pregnant women.
