Role of First-Trimester HbA1c as a Predictor of Adverse Obstetric Outcomes in a Multiethnic Cohort

摘要

AbstractContext:Risk of obstetric complications increases linearly with rising maternal glycemia. Testing hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is an effective option to detect hyperglycemia, but its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes remains unclear. Emerging data sustain that an early HbA1c ≥5.9% could act as a pregnancy risk marker.
