Impact of gestational diabetes mellitus treatment on medium/long-term outcomes after pregnancy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) treatment on medium/long-term outcomes both the mother and offspring. Methods: We performed a systematic review on randomized clinical trials addressing specific treatment of women with GDM versus usual care and its impact o...

Sumario:Aim: We aimed to evaluate the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) treatment on medium/long-term outcomes both the mother and offspring. Methods: We performed a systematic review on randomized clinical trials addressing specific treatment of women with GDM versus usual care and its impact on maternal and offspring outcomes at medium/long-term. MEDLINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL were searched from inception to 8 October 2021. Outcome variables: maternal (diabetes, metabolic syndrome, 12 secondary); offspring (diabetes, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, high body mass index, 15 secondary). Risk of bias was assessed with Cochrane tool and aggregation performed with Revman 5.4. Results: We included five studies (1140 women, 767 offspring) with follow-up ranging 4–16 years after delivery. GDM treatment likely does not reduce risk of maternal diabetes (RR 1.00; [95% CI 0.82–1.23]) and may not reduce that of metabolic syndrome (RR 0.93; [95% CI 0.71–1.22]). We obtained very uncertain evidence that treatment may increase maternal HDL-cholesterol. Findings showed that GDM treatment may not have an impact on infants' outcomes (RRs 0.79; [95% CI 0.39–1.69] for impaired fasting glucose; RR 0.91; [95% CI 0.74–1.12] for body mass index >85th centile and 0.89; [95% CI 0.65–1.22] for body mass index >95th centile respectively). Conclusions: With current evidence is uncertain if specific treatment of women with GDM has an impact on medium/long-term metabolic outcomes either in the mother or in the offspring. These results add evidence to the recommendation of systematically reevaluating mother and offspring after delivery. Registration: OSF, DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/KFN79. © 2022 The Authors.
