Progress in the study of predictive factors of gestational diabetes mellitus in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome as a complication of pregnancy
Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)is the most prevalent endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age,yet its etiology and pathogenesis remain unclear.Women with PCOS frequently present with insulin resistance,obesity,and infertility,which heightens the risk of various pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Research has demonstrated that PCOS patients have a three-fold higher risk of developing GDM compared with healthy pregnant women matched with age and body mass index.Early identification of pregnant women at high risk for GDM and targeted intervention measures can significantly enhance patients'outcomes.Therefore,this article aims to review predictive factors for GDM in patients with PCOS,propose suggestions for screening high-risk factors,and discuss measures to improve lifestyle.The objective is to provide a reference for identifying high-risk pregnant women with GDM and establishing a healthy lifestyle.
