Trial summary

Our study will assess if there is a difference in incidence of gestational diabetes using different screening approaches, either using a one-step approach with a 2 hour glucose tolerance test or using a two-step approach. Prior studies have proven similar incidences including a randomized controlled trial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: One vs Two Step Approach for GDM Screening

Our study will assess if there is a difference in incidence of gestational diabetes using different screening approaches, either using a one-step approach with a 2 hour glucose tolerance test or using a two-step approach. Prior studies have proven similar incidences including a randomized controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

Gestational Diabetes is screened for in pregnancy by drinking a solution containing a certain amount of glucose and testing blood glucose level one hour after drinking it. If this value is above a certain cut-off (>135mg/dl), the patient is subjected to another test involving drinking a solution containing a higher amount of glucose and checking blood glucose while fasting, 1 hour after drinking the solution and 2 hours after drinking the solution. (Two step approach).

Cut off values will be: 3 hour>180 mg/dl, 2 hour > 155 mg/dl, 1hour >140 mg/dl, fasting >95mg/dl. Two abnormal values will meet the diagnosis of gestational diabetes.

In other parts of the United States, and most of the rest of the word, screening for gestational diabetes uses a one-step approach by drinking a solution containing 75g of glucose (As recommended by the American Diabetic Society, the Endocrine Society, WHO and the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study groups1-3). Blood glucose values are checked at fasting, one hour and two hours after solution drinking.

The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is based on one elevated values. (cut off: Fasting ≥92mg/dl, 1hour ≥180 mg/dl, 2 hours ≥153 mg/dl).

Our study will assess if there is a difference in incidence of gestational diabetes using these different screening approaches. Prior studies have proven similar incidences including a randomized controlled trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GDM screening with 75 g 2 hour GTTDiagnostic test

    Patients will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes if they have one abnormal value: Fasting ≥ 92; 2 hour ≥ 180 mg/dl;1 hour ≥ 153 mg/dl.

  • GDM screening with two step approachDiagnostic test

    1 hour glucola with 50 g glucose load followed by 100 g glucose load if 1 hour glucola positive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GDM screening with 75 g 2 hour GTT and GDM screening with two step approach in people with Gestational Diabetes, run by Thomas Jefferson University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of gestational diabetes diagnosed on each screening test of each arm. (time frame: at the time of the screening). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
