ABSTRACT
Early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reduces the risk of adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes. At present, the value of serum adiponectin (ADP) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in clinical practice for the diagnosis of GDM in early pregnancy is unclear. To investigate the predictive value of serum ADP and PAPP-A in GDM. The electronic medical record data of all pregnant women from Zhongshan People’s Hospital from 2018 to 2021 were retrospectively collected and divided into GDM group and control group according to whether GDM occurred. ADP and PAPP-A levels of the 2 groups were detected in early pregnancy, and the related factors of GDM were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of ADP and PAPP-A in predicting GDM in the early pregnancy were plotted and their clinical predictive value was analyzed. The significance level for all statistical tests is 0.05. Compared with the non-GDM group, the ADP of the GDM group was significantly lower than that of the non-GDM group [(8.19 ± 2.24) vs. (10.04 ± 2.73)]mg/L, the difference between groups was statistically significant (P < .05), and the multiple of median (MoM) of PAPP-A was significantly lower than that of the non-GDM group (1.13 ± 0.52) versus (1.45 ± 0.61) (P < .05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that elevated serum ADP and PAPP-A levels were negatively correlated with the subsequent development of GDM [odds ratio (OR) 95% confidence interval (95% CI)] was 0.626 (0.536, 0.816), 0.934 (0.908, 0.961), respectively, P < .05.ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of ADP and PAPP-A in predicting gestational diabetes were79.1% and 58.6%, respectively, 92.7% and 73.1%, and respectively. The area under curve (AUC) is 0.755 for ADP and 0.770 for PAPP-A. The AUC of the combined detection was 0.867, both of which were higher than that of single index diagnosis, and the sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection were 0.958 and 0.853, respectively. In summary, PAPP-A and ADP levels are independent related factors affecting the occurrence of GDM. The combined detection of PAPP-A and ADP should be utilized in diagnosing GDM to improve pregnancy outcomes for pregnant women.
