Résumé fourni par la source

Booking BMI27.0kg/m 2 has an OR 1.08 (0.94-1.24, p0.001) compared to BMI between 27.0kg/m 2 to 29.9kg/m 2 . Booking weight of less then 80kg has an OR 1.38 (1.23-1.54, p 0.001) compared to weight of 80kg and more. Age below 25 has an OR of 0.98 (0.81-1.18, p 0.001) which is similar to those between the age of 25-34 OR 1.00. Hypertension OR 0.54 (0.47-0.61, p0.001), previous stillbirth OR 0.64 and parity are not significant risk factors for GDM. Conclusions: The current practice of selective screening in Malaysia is inappropriate. Screening following disease complications contradict the benefits of screening. Universal screening for GDM in Malaysia may be a more accurate measure.
