- Objective: To identify if gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a clinically useful marker of future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and if GDM combined with other risks (smoking, hypertension or body mass) identifies high-risk groups.Design: Population-based matched case-control study.Setting: National Swedish register data from 1991 to 2008.Population: A total of 2639 women with a cardiovascular event and matched controls.Methods: Conditional logistic regression examined associations with CVD before and after adjustment for conventional risk factors and confounders. Effect modification for the association of GDM with CVD by body mass index (BMI), smoking and chronic hypertension was assessed by stratification and interaction testing. Adjustment for diabetes post-pregnancy evaluated its mediating role.Main outcome measures: Inpatient diagnoses or causes of death identifying ischemic heart disease, ischemic stroke, atherosclerosis or peripheral vascular disease.Results: The adjusted odds ratios (and 95% confidence intervals) for the association of CVD with GDM are 1.51 (1.07-2.14), 2.23 (2.01-2.48) for smoking, 1.98 (1.71-2.29) for obesity and 5.10 (3.18-8.18) for chronic hypertension. In stratified analysis the association of CVD with GDM was only seen among women with BMI 25, with an odds ratio of 2.39 (1.39-4.10), but only women with a BMI <30 accounted for this increased risk. Adjustment for post-pregnancy diabetes attenuated it somewhat to 1.99 (1.13-3.52).Conclusions: In the absence of other recognised cardiovascular risk factors, such as smoking, obesity or chronic hypertension, GDM is a useful marker of raised CVD risk among women with BMI between 25 and 29.

- Objective: To analyze maternal and neonatal outcomes for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Sweden, depending on country of birth (Nordic vs. non-Nordic women).Design: Population-based cohort study using the Swedish Medical Birth register.Setting: Data on pregnant women in Sweden with diagnosed GDM.Population: All singleton births to women with GDM between 1998 and 2007 (n = 8560).Methods: Logistic regression in an adjusted model to assess the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Chi-squared tests or Student's unpaired t-tests were used to analyze differences between maternal and fetal characteristics.Main outcome measures: Maternal and neonatal complications.Results: GDM incidence was higher at 2.0% among non-Nordic women, compared with 0.7% in the Nordic group. The non-Nordic women were older, had less chronic hypertensive disease, smoked less, and had lower BMI and shorter height. Preeclampsia was significantly lower in the non-Nordic group. The mean birthweight (3561 vs. 3698 g, p < 0.001) and the large-for-gestational age rate (11.7 vs. 17.5%, p < 0.001) were significantly lower in the non-Nordic group. Large-for-gestational age was dependent on maternal height [crude odds ratio 0.6 (0.5-0.7) and adjusted odds ratio 0.8 (0.6-0.9)].Conclusions: Non-Nordic women with GDM in Sweden have better obstetrical and neonatal outcomes than Nordic women. These results do not support the idea of inequality of health care. Large-for-gestational age as a diagnosis is highly dependent on maternal height, which raises the question of the need for individualized growth curves.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose of review: This narrative review makes the case for greater efforts to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in women with diabetes.Recent findings: In a recent meta-analysis including five CVOTs of diabetes medications with 46,606 subjects, women (vs men) with type 2 diabetes had a higher relative risk for stroke (RR 1.28; 95% CI 1.09, 1.50) and heart failure (1.30; 1.21, 1.40). Prior studies found higher "within-gender" RR for CVD mortality in women with diabetes although men have an absolute higher risk. Women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have a 2-fold higher CVD risk than the background population. Worse CVD and CVD risk factor management in women, as well as lower female therapy adherence, contribute further to these disparities.Summary: The mechanism behind this excess risk includes biological, hormonal, socioeconomic, clinical, and behavioral factors that still require further investigation. The need for more intensive CVD reduction in women now includes more attention to screening for both incident diabetes and CVD risk factors among high-risk women.

Born over 4500 g : the trends in birth trauma and mode of delivery in women with GDM and type 1 diabetes in Sweden between 1998-2012
- 2018

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: We have previously shown that during the years 1998-2012, the overall incidence of LGA and birthweight decreased in both women with and without GDM in Sweden, and unpublished preliminary results show that there is a converse trend among women with T1DM. The incidence of Erbs palsy also decreased in the GDM and background population, but remained unchanged for women with T1DM. Since macrosomia is one of the most prominent risk factors for Erb´s palsy and delivery complications, the aim of the study was to evaluate trends in incidence of Erb´s palsy and delivery mode in the macrosomic group defined as weight ≥4500g and we present here our preliminary results.Method: This is a cohort study in Sweden 1998-2012 , including singleton macrosomic (≥4500 g) births. Vaginal deliveries were selected for the analyses relating to Erb´s plasy. Poisson regression was used to evaluate trends per year in both the GDM, T1DM and the background population. Results were partly stratified on BMI, to be able to detect any group differences in trends. P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: In total there were 57 2015 macrosomic infants, of whom (n= 36 933, 64,6%) were delivered vaginally. Of these, only 2.1 % (n=798) were vaginally delivered by women with GDM, (1.4%) type 2 diabetes (0.1%) or T1DM (0.7%). The trend in Erb´s palsy decreased significantly in the background population at a rate of OR 0.954 (95% CI 0.936-0.973) per year. For women with GDM or T1DM there was no significant change in incidence of trends over these years for Erb´s palsy. As for Caesarean section (CS) there was a significant increase per year for GDM pregnancies (OR 1.028, 95% CI 1.007-1.049) and in the background population (1.018 95% CI 1.013-1.022). No change was seen for CS in pregnancies with T1DM.Conclusion: Even though the rates of LGA and birthweight have decreased in Sweden over this time period for women with GDM and the background population, we could not see a significant decrease in Erb´s palsy among women with vaginal births in either the GDM group or for women with T1DM in the macrosomic infants. However, a decrease was seen in the incidence of Erb´s palsy in the macrosomic babies in the background population. The rates of CS have significantly increased in the background population and for GDM pregnancies, but been stable for T1DM. We conclude that the disparity in risk of Erbs has grown over this time period. Further work is needed to ascertain whether this is due to the need for improved surveillance, a higher CS rate, and/or improved glycaemic management (or other factors).

- AIMS: To evaluate the interaction effects of gestational diabetes (GDM) with obesity on perinatal outcomes.METHODS: A population-based cohort study in Sweden excluding women without pre-gestational diabetes with a singleton birth between 1998 and 2012. Logistic regression was performed to evaluate the potential independent associations of GDM and BMI with adverse perinatal outcomes as well as their interactions. Main outcome measures were malformations, stillbirths, perinatal mortality, low Apgar score, fetal distress, prematurity and Erb's palsy.RESULTS: ) had significantly increased risks of all outcomes including stillbirth 1.51 (1.40-1.62) to 2.85 (2.52-3.22) and perinatal mortality 1.49 (1.40-1.59) to 2.83 (2.54-3.15).CONCLUSIONS: There is no interaction effect between GDM and BMI for the studied outcomes. Higher BMI and GDM are major independent risk factors for most serious adverse perinatal outcomes. More effective pre-pregnancy and antenatal interventions are required to prevent serious adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with either GDM or high BMI.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes in relation to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in both a shortand long term perspective.Study I was a population based cohort study including 1 249 908 pregnancies during the years 1998-2012. Maternal outcomes and fetal size were studied in relation to BMI and presence/absence of GDM. The conclusions were that maternal overweight and obesity are associated with similar increments in risks of adverse maternal outcomes and delivery of large-for-gestational-age infants in women with and without gestational diabetes. Study II was a population based cohort study using the same cohort as in study I. Fetal outcomes were studied in relation to GDM-status and BMI. Interaction between GDM and BMI for the outcomes was also analyzed. Conclusions were that excess maternal weight and GDM were, both major independent risk factors for adverse, perinatal outcomes, there were no intercation. In study III the same cohort was used to study time trends 1998-2012 in maternal and perinatal outcomes in women with GDM. Trends were also analyzed in women without GDM for comparison. This study showed that there have been improvements in fetal outcomes for women with GDM. But since the improvements were similar or less than the changes in the background population this was probably not due to better medical care for women with GDM alone. The conlusion is that there is still a lot to do to improve outcomes for women with GDM. Study IV was a case control study aiming to evaluate if there was an interaction between GDM and preeclampsia (PE) or if the conditions were independent risk factors for later cardio vascular disease (CVD). We also wanted to analyze how BMI influenced the association between PE and later CVD. We showed that GDM and PE are independently associated with elevated risk for CVD. The association of PE and CVD is not affected by BMI to a great extent as is the case in GDM and CVD.

- Aim: To analyse the impact of overweight and obesity on the risk of adverse maternal outcomes and fetal macrosomia in pregnancies of women treated for severe gestational diabetes.Methods This was a population-based cohort study including all singleton pregnancies in Sweden without pre-existing diabetes in the period 1998-2012. Only mothers with an early- pregnancy BMI of ≥18.5 kg/m² were included. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine odds ratios with 95% CIs for maternal outcomes and fetal growth. Analyses were stratified by maternal gestational diabetes/non-gestational diabetes to investigate the impact of overweight/obesity in each group.Results: Of 1 249 908 singleton births, 13 057 were diagnosed with gestational diabetes (1.0%). Overweight/obesity had the same impact on the risks of caesarean section and fetal macrosomia in pregnancies with and without gestational diabetes, but the impact of maternal BMI on the risk of preeclampsia was less pronounced in women with gestational diabetes. Normal-weight women with gestational diabetes had an increased risk of caesarean section [odds ratio 1.26 (95% CI 1.16-1.37)], preeclampsia [odds ratio 2.03 (95% CI 1.71-2.41)] and large-for-gestational-age infants [odds ratio 2.25 (95% CI 2.06-2.46)]. Risks were similar in the overweight group without gestational diabetes, caesarean section [odds ratio 1.34 (1.33-1.36)], preeclampsia odds ratio [1.76 (95% CI 1.72-1.81)], large-for-gestational-age [odds ratio 1.76 (95% CI 1.74-1.79)].Conclusions: Maternal overweight and obesity is associated with similar increments in risks of adverse maternal outcomes and delivery of large-for-gestational-age infants in women with and without gestational diabetes. Obese women with gestational diabetes are defined as a high-risk group. Normal-weight women with gestational diabetes have similar risks of adverse outcomes to overweight women without gestational diabetes.
