Abstract

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between neck circumference and gestational diabetes.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 372 Iranian pregnant women. The criteria set by the American Diabetes Association through 2 h was used to classify subjects with regard to their gestational diabetes. At the 14-16th weeks of pregnancy, the neck circumference was measured. The maternal and fetal outcomes were measured as well.

Results: The adjusted logistic regression revealed that neck circumference was a predictor for gestational diabetes mellitus (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.06, 1.34; P = 0.002). The ROC analysis depicted that the cut-off for neck circumference in indicating gestational diabetes was 34.3 cm, with the sensitivity of 53% and the specificity of 66%.

Conclusion: The findings of the present study revealed that the neck circumference of ≥34.3 cm can be deemed as a predictor of gestational diabetes in the case of Iranian pregnant women.

伊朗妇女颈围与妊娠期糖尿病的关系。

背景:本研究的目的是评估颈围与妊娠糖尿病之间的关系。方法:对372名伊朗孕妇进行前瞻性研究。根据美国糖尿病协会制定的标准，对受试者进行妊娠糖尿病分类。妊娠14-16周时测量颈围。同时测量了母体和胎儿的结局。结果:经调整的logistic回归分析显示，颈围是妊娠期糖尿病的预测因子(OR = 1.20;95% ci = 1.06, 1.34;p = 0.002)。ROC分析显示，颈围提示妊娠期糖尿病的临界值为34.3 cm，敏感性53%，特异性66%。结论:本研究结果表明，伊朗孕妇颈围≥34.3 cm可作为妊娠期糖尿病的预测指标。
