Tóm tắt

Objectives: To describe serum cortisol and low-grade inflammation (LGI) in first-time diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and investigate the relationship of maternal serum cortisol and LGI with maternal preeclampsia risks and fetal growth indices by ultrasound in first-time diagnosed GDM.Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted on 248 first-time diagnosed GDM in Military Hospital 103 and National Hospital of Endocrinology from 2015 to 2024. Results: Serum cortisol, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were significantly higher in GDM compared with the normal glucose-tolerant (NGT) group. LGI but not cortisol levels were associated with percentage of age > 35, systolic blood pressure, and BMI. While maternal cortisol positively correlated with abdominal circumference - AC (r = 5.5) and estimated fetal weight - EFW (r = 85.3) of the fetus, NLR negatively correlated with EFW (B = -64.4) after adjusting for maternal BMI and FPG. PLR negatively correlated with fetal biparietal diameter - BPD (B = -0.02), AC (B = -0.06), EFW (B = -1.1), and head circumference - HC (B = -0.06), with p < 0.05. Conclusion: Serum cortisol, LGI, and fetal growth indices in GDM were higher than those in NGT pregnancy.
