The requirement for MNT+I could be estimated according to the number of predictors present: 85.7-93.1% of women with 6-7 predictors required MNT+I compared with 9.3-14.7% of women with 0-1 predictors. This model predicted the likelihood of several adverse outcomes, including Caesarean delivery, early delivery, large for gestational age and an abnormal postpartum OGTT. The model was validated in a separate clinic population. Conclusions/interpretation: This validated model has been shown to predict therapy type and the likelihood of several adverse perinatal outcomes in women with GDM.]]> Thu 28 Oct 2021 12:35:56 AEDT ]]>
