Cost-Effectivity Analysis of One-Step Versus Two-Step Screening for Gestational Diabetes

摘要

Objective:Early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is important for both maternal and fetal health. The literature has varying recommendations about one-step and two-step tests for GDM screening and diagnosis. The present study aimed to investigate the difference in the cost and duration of hospital stay of a one-step procedure compared to a two-step procedure, which is routinely performed in our hospital.
