Comparison of the Detection Rates of 50 Gr-100 Gr OGTT and 75 Gr OGTT That Require Medical Treatment of GDM

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are comparing two different oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) used to detect gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women. This study aims to find out which of the two testing methods, the 50 gram followed by 100 gram OGTT or the 75 gram OGTT, better detects GDM that requires medical treatment. The research is conducted by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent and involves random assignment of participants to either testing method. Participants are divided into two groups. One group undergoes the 50 gram OGTT first and, if needed, the 100 gram OGTT. The other group is tested using the 75 gram OGTT alone. Both tests are diagnostic procedures designed to evaluate glucose intolerance during pregnancy. The study does not involve any masking or blinding, and all participants receive active testing. During the study, researchers will monitor and compare the rates at which each testing approach detects gestational diabetes requiring treatment over one year. Participants are pregnant women aged between 18 and 45 years. The study includes randomization to the two test groups and tracks outcomes related to glucose intolerance. Participants may expect regular testing and follow-up as part of the study process.
