Abstract
MAURY, Antolín et al. Prevalence of gestational diabetes in Colombia: a systematic review and comparative study. Salud, Barranquilla [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.1, pp.165-188. Epub Nov 18, 2023. ISSN 0120-5552. https://doi.org/10.14482/sun.39.01.613.004.
Introduction:
Pregnant women with GDM gestational diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of having adverse maternal-infant outcomes.
Objective:
To estimate the prevalence of GDM in Colombia according to the criteria of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups [IADPSG]. Materials and methods: A systematic review was carried out by searching the PubMed / Medline and Cochrane databases in English and Spanish. The quality assessment was done using the GRADE methodology.
Results:
A total of 7 articles with 37,795 Colombian participants were included in the systematic review. The prevalence of GDM in Colombia was 8.7 %. Conclusions: As far as we know, this systematic review is the first study to estimate the prevalence of GDM in women in Colombia according to criteria of the IADPSG. The results suggest a GDM prevalence in Colombia in the world average. Be careful with these results because there could be un-der-records.
