@AnKing-Maintainers AMBOSS makes no mention of screening for gestational diabetes prior to 20 weeks. I think this card should have been written to say “pre”-gestational diabetes?
Anyone able to do a UW check
COMLEX Step 2 107158, USMLE Step 2 105694
@AnKing-Maintainers UWorld Step 2 105694 confirms:
However, early screening for undiagnosed pregestational diabetes mellitus (eg, GCT at the initial prenatal visit) is indicated for high-risk patients with obesity plus ≥1 of the following:
Prior GDM
Prior macrosomic infant (birth weight ≥4 kg [8.8 lb])
Family history of type 2 DM (first-degree relative)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (as suggested by this patient’s irregular, anovulatory menstrual cycles)
Maternal age ≥40
Identifying undiagnosed pregestational diabetes mellitus during early pregnancy can help optimize glucose control and decrease the risk of pregnancy complications. Even if the early screening test is normal, a repeat 1-hr GCT is performed at 24-28 weeks gestation.
@AnKing-Maintainers bump. This needs to be pushed imo
@Brian_BH This suggestion only needs one more like to push…wondering what your thoughts are now that you’re officially a maintainer…. ![]()
Oh gosh, it all feels so official ![]()
