GDM was diagnosed by a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Embryo culture duration (day 3 vs day 5 vs day 6) and morphology were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for maternal age, body mass index, and fasting glucose. Interaction analyses assessed the combined effect of blastocyst transfer and maternal metabolic risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GDM occurred in 14.0% of pregnancies. Blastocyst-stage transfers were associated with a significantly higher GDM risk than cleavage-stage transfers (day 3: 15.1%; day 5: 17.4%; day 6: 18.2%; P = .01). Prolonged embryo culture remained an independent risk factor in adjusted models (odds ratio, 1.045; 95% CI, 1.019-1.071; P &amp;lt; .01). Embryo morphology showed no significant association with GDM. The combination of blastocyst transfer and maternal metabolic risk factors further increased GDM incidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prolonged embryo culture is an independent risk factor for GDM after FET.
