Objective: The aim of this study was to determine gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) frequency and perinatal results of these patients whom referred to our hospital’s antepartum clinic for routine follow-up. Material and Methods: In this study perinatal results of 526 pregnant women who attended to our antepartum clinic for routine follow-up between July 2012 and March 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. A 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) applied at 24-28 weeks’ gestation. The patients who had a value of blood glucose ≥ 140 mg/dl undergone 100-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Patients were divided in two groups according to ACOG GDM criteria. Group 1 was not GDM and group 2 was that diagnosed as GDM. These groups were compared according to maternal age, gravidity, parity, abortus ,gestational weeks at birth, rates of cesarean section, cesarean indications, birth weight, birth height and 1. and 5. minute Apgar scores. Results: Of the 526 pregnant women 46 patients di¬agnosed as GDM (8,7%). One hundred forty five patients had abnormal 50 gr GTT results (27,5%). Maternal age, abortus, birth weight and cesarean rates were found different in statistically analysis. These parameters were detected higher in group 2 patients. Conclusion: The prevalence of GDM in pregnant women who were admitted to our clinic was 8,7 %. In our study we found that maternal age was an important risc factor for GDM and birth weight, cesarean rates were higher in diabetic patients.
