Application of seamless care service with multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment in patients with gestational diabetes.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this article was to explore the effect of trinity seamless care service (TSCS) in patients with gestational diabetes with multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment (MDT), and thus, to provide basis for improvement in the quality of patient care.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 200 patients were recruited and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 100 cases in each group, who were diagnosed with gestational diabetes through oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation from September 2012 to September 2014. In order to control blood glucose and weight, patients in the control group received routine treatment and nursing after diagnosis, while those in the observation group received TSCS with MDT. Rate of insulin usage, weight changes and glycemic indexes before and after nursing were compared within the two groups during pregnancy.

RESULTS: Compared with the pregnant patients in the control group, the rate of those in the observation group who needed extra insulin to control blood glucose, or the change of body mass index during pregnancy (ΔBMI) ≥6 kg/m(2) and less average weight gain prior to delivery was significantly lower (P<0.05). Glycemic indexes in the observation group after nursing were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Incidences of cesarean delivery, polyhydramnios, gestational hypertension and postpartum hemorrhage in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Incidences of macrosomia, hyperbilirubinemia, fetal distress, stillbirth and teratogeny in the observation group were also significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION: Application of TSCS with MDT in patients with gestational diabetes helps to keep appropriate weight gain, control blood glucose by improving glycemic indexes, significantly reduce the incidences of maternal perinatal and neonatal complications and improve pregnancy outcomes.
