The Prognosis of Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibodies in Women With Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy.
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism 2023 October 28
CONTEXT: We recently reported that the presence of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA) was not associated with large-for-gestational-age infants in women with hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP).
OBJECTIVE: We explored the association between the presence of GADA and other HIP-related adverse pregnancy outcomes.
METHODS: This observational prospective study, conducted at a university hospital in a suburb of Paris, France, included 1182 consecutive women with HIP measured for GADA at HIP care initiation between 2012 and 2017. Post hoc analyses for outcomes included gestational weight gain, insulin therapy, cesarean delivery, hypertensive disorders, small-for-gestational-age infant, prematurity, and neonatal hypoglycemia.
RESULTS: Of the 1182 women studied, 87 (7.4%) had positive (≥ 1 IU/mL) GADA. Although socioeconomic, clinical, and biological characteristics were similar across women in the positive and negative GADA groups, higher fasting plasma glucose values during early HIP screening were observed in the former (5.5 ± 1.5 vs 5.2 ± 0.7 mmol/L respectively, P < .001). At HIP care initiation, fructosamine levels were higher in women with positive GADA (208 ± 23 vs 200 ± 18 µmol/L; P < .05). In the homeostatic model assessment, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and beta secretion (HOMA-B) rates were similar in both groups. Gestational weight gain and the rates of all adverse outcomes were similar in both groups except for cesarean delivery (18.4 and 27.3% for positive and negative GADA, respectively; adjusted odds ratio 0.49 [95% CI, 0.26-0.92], P = .026).
CONCLUSION: Universal measurement of GADA in women with HIP highlighted that 7.4% had positive GADA. No association was observed between GADA and HIP-related adverse pregnancy outcomes, except a lower risk of cesarean delivery.
