Statistical analysis
Univariate analyses were conducted to describe and compare the
demographic factors, anthropometric measurements, medical history, OGTT
readings, GV and GC parameters between group diagnosed with GDM and the
group without GDM. Group differences were evaluated using
Student’s t -test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for continuous
variables, and the chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used for
categorical variables. Descriptive statistics for numerical variables
were presented as mean (SD), or median (interquartile range) and n (%)
for categorical variables.
Statistically significant results
were determined at 2-sided p < 0.05, and
p<0.01 were described as non-significant trends. Statistical
analyses were performed using STATA software version 13.1 (StataCorp LP,
College Station, TX, USA).
