Data on socio-demographic characteristics and obstetric history were collected. Participants underwent fasting plasma glucose and oral glucose tolerance tests, consuming 75 g of glucose in 300 ml of water. Glucose levels were measured using the oxidase-peroxidase method, and GDM was diagnosed according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups\/World Health Organization (IADPSG\/WHO 2013) criteria.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Participants\u2019 ages ranged from 18 to 51 years, with a mean age of 31.0 \u00b1 5.3 years. A total of 76 participants met the IADPSG\/WHO 2013 criteria, resulting in a GDM prevalence of 19.0%. The identified significant risk factors for GDM included macrosomia (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n = 4.33,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.037), family history of diabetes (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n = 4.4,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.036), previous miscarriages (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n = 15.8,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001) and congenital anomalies (\n \u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n = 6.4,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.011). Notably, having previously delivered a macrosomic baby was independently and significantly associated with GDM (odds ratio 4.3, 95% confidence interval = 1.08\u201316.9,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.039).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The high prevalence of GDM underscores the need to screen all pregnant women, particularly those with a history of macrosomia. Larger and longitudinal studies are encouraged to identify other relevant factors that could aid in effectively screening and identifying all affected pregnant women.<\/jats:p>\n
