Long-term follow-up of endocrine and metabolic changes after gestational diabetes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective cohort will enroll women aged 18 and older who delivered at Peking University First Hospital between 2007 and 2016 and had GDM diagnosed by OGTT. Investigators will combine antenatal records, diagnostic OGTT data, and scheduled long-term follow-ups to track endocrine, metabolic, and clinical outcomes in mothers and their offspring. The project aims to map the natural course of non-communicable chronic diseases after GDM, identify high-risk factors and key mediators, and build predictive models for timing and targets of intervention. No interventional procedures are planned; analyses will be observational and data-driven to inform future prevention strategies.
