Ideas in this flowchart

  • Clinical variables collected and predictors used in pregnancy models
  • Demographic characteristics
  • Maternal age at conception, ethnicity, parity, and gravidity
  • Clinical measurements
  • Height, pre-pregnancy weight, and pre-pregnancy BMI
  • Lifestyle factors
  • Smoking and e-cigarette use
  • OGTT values
  • Fasting and 120-minute glucose values
  • Capillary glucose monitoring data captured electronically from the patient’s glucometer
  • Glucose treatment
  • Metformin use and the type and dose of basal insulin
  • Pregnancy outcomes
  • Mode of delivery: vaginal, instrument, elective cesarean, or emergency cesarean
  • Neonatal outcomes
  • Birth weight, neonatal intensive care or special care admission, live birth, and Apgar scores at 5 and 10 minutes
  • Pre-pregnancy weight and BMI were selected as model predictors
  • They were routinely collected at the booking appointment before insulin titration
  • This provided standardized baselines for all participants

"Clinical variables collected comprised demographic characteristics (maternal age at conception, ethnicity, parity, and gravidity), clinical measurements (height, pre-pregnancy weight, and pre-pregnancy BMI), lifestyle factors (smoking and e-cigarette use), OGTT values (fasting and 120-minute glucose values), capillary glucose monitoring data (captured electronically from the patient’s glucometer), glucose treatment (use of metformin and type and dose of basal insulin), pregnancy outcomes (mode of delivery including vaginal delivery, instrument delivery, elective or emergency cesarean section), and neonatal outcomes (birth weight, admissions to neonatal intensive care unit (ITU) or special care baby unit (SCBU), live births, Apgar score at 5 and 10 min). Pre-pregnancy weight and BMI were chosen as patients’ predictors for the models as they were routinely collected at booking appointment before insulin titration, providing a standardize baselines for all participants."
