Abstract

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is linked to adverse feto-maternal outcomes. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) guidelines as an affordable, one-step universal screening and diagnostic tool.

Methods: This prospective study evaluated 107 pregnant women aged 18–40. The data was collected from November 2022 to April 2024. Participants with abnormal DIPSI results underwent a confirmatory 75g WHO OGTT (2013). Third-trimester ultrasound findings and labor outcomes were analyzed.

Results: At 24–28 weeks, 51.4% of subjects were diagnosed with GDM via DIPSI and confirmed by WHO OGTT. Major maternal-fetal complications included preeclampsia (42%), fetal AC >90th centile (33.3%), preterm labor (23%), and polyhydramnios (22%). The primary delivery mode was Caesarean section (60%), driven by ERCD (34.3%) and fetal distress (18.7%). Mean neonatal birth weight was 2.94 kg. Significant neonatal morbidities included hypoglycemia (43%), phototherapy (43%), NICU admission (42%), shoulder dystocia (5.5%), and IUFD (2%). DIPSI values significantly correlated with neonatal hypoglycemia (p<0.05), but not with fetal AC centiles or polyhydramnios.

Conclusion: All patients with abnormal DIPSI values had at least one abnormal WHO OGTT value, demonstrating DIPSI's strong sensitivity and specificity. DIPSI serves as a cost- and time-effective single-step tool to identify GDM and enable timely intervention to improve feto-maternal outcomes.
