Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing public health concern due to its association with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, yet its risk factors remain under-investigated in many populations. A prospective observational study of 500 pregnant women who presented on regular antenatal visits to CIMS was completed. During 24-28 weeks of gestation, GDM screening was done through a 75-gram Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). Regarding socio-demographic, clinical and lifestyle information, standardized questionnaires were used to collect the relevant data and the risk factors were identified by completing a statistical analysis using SPSS version 25 and multivariate logistic regression. We show a substantial incidence of GDM in women attending CIMS antenatal clinics while, age, obesity; family history and reproductive history remain crucial risk determinants.
