Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) and WHO (1999) diagnostic criteria for GDM: A meta-analysis

Abstract

Background and aims: The diagnosis of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is challenging and controversial due to the heterogeneity or lack of consensus regarding the screening and diagnostic criteria for GDM.

Methods: A meta-analysis of studies comparing Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) and WHO 1999 for diagnosing GDM was carried out.

Results: A total of 6 comparative studies were included. Pooled analysis showed sensitivity and specificity as 0.79 (95% CI: 0.53 to 0.92) and 0.97 (95% CI: 0.94 to 0.98) respectively.

Conclusion: Based on the results of the meta-analysis, DIPSI showed higher specificity when compared to WHO 1999, hence may be used to rule in disease in probable GDM cases. However, the results should be interpreted more cautiously and carefully since only a few studies were included.

Keywords: DIPSI; GDM; WHO-1999.
