title: Universal screening to identify gestational diabetes: a multi-centre study in the North of England.
abstract: We conducted an audit of treatment and outcomes in 116 women with gestational diabetes. These women received intense monitoring and high levels of medical and obstetric intervention. 24% would not have been identified by risk factor based screening. Cost effective strategies to identify all women with gestational diabetes are needed.
