  • Women with maternal age ≥ 18 years, singleton pregnancy, primipara, no smoking, confirmed gestation≤20 weeks and spontaneous conception were invited to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Women were excluded if they had multiple pregnancy, pre-gestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM), hypertensive disorders, preterm delivery, cardiovascular disease, immunological disease, glucocorticoid therapy, or other severe illness.

About this study

To investigate the association of maternal serum concentrations of pentraxin 3 in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus and to explore its potential value in the prediction of GDM.

Read the detailed description

We recruited all pregnant women for the first checkup in our hospital . Maternal fasting serum PTX3 levels, fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin and other factors were measured. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed at 24-28 weeks in all participants. According to the occurrence of GDM, subjects were divided into two groups: GDM group and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group.

What participants receive

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

  • 75gOGTTDiagnostic test

    oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was conducted on all participants between the 24th and 28th gestation weeks.The diagnosis of GDM is made when any of the following plasma glucose values are met or exceeded: FPG≥5.1 mmol/L and/or 1h-PG ≥10.0 mmol/L and/or 2h-PG ≥8.5 mmol/ L.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy Complications Affecting Fetus (Diagnosis), run by Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum PTX3 levels in early pregnancy (time frame: 2015.10.01-2015.11.31). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jun 2018.
