The screening guidelines and recommendations for GDM evolved over time; concise information has been presented here in the review. We searched electronic databases for various guidelines for screening of GDM in PubMed, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Embase, Cochrane, Google Scholar, Scopus, Guidelines International Network (GIN library), National Guidelines Clearinghouse (NGC); Web sites of relevant organizations; and trial registries. The mesh headings derived after reviewing the articles and were used to further search the articles are: (\u201cScreening Guidelines GDM\u201d or \u201cScreening Criteria for GDM\u201d) and (\u201cGlucose Intolerance in Pregnancy\u201d or \u201cGestational Diabetes Mellitus\u201d). The articles published from 1960 till December 2022 were included. Key outcomes included the prevalence of GDM is 14.6% according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria and 13.4% according to Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) criteria, making the DIPSI criterion a cost-effective method for low-resource settings. The IADPSG) criterion diagnoses and treats GDM earlier, thus reducing the complications associated with GDM in the mother and newborn. The IADPSG criteria at a cut-off of \u2265140 mg\/dL have a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 93%, whereas the World Health Organization (2013) criteria at the same cut-off has a lower sensitivity of 59% and specificity of 81%. The risk factors of having GDM are family history, history during past pregnancy, medical history, multiple current pregnancies, and raised hemoglobin A1c. The screening guidelines have been developed by different organizations and institutions over the years. The guidelines with the threshold values for screening and their standardization for detecting GDM in Indian mothers are yet to be established.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijcm.ijcm_298_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T00:01:34Z","timestamp":1701648094000},"page":"828-834","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Review of the Screening Guidelines for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: How to Choose Wisely"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Ravleen Kaur","family":"Bakshi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientist C, Div.
