Abstract
Purpose: To determine the negative and positive predictive values of hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) levels in predicting abnormal 1-hour glucose challenge test (GCT) results in pregnancy. Methods: This retrospective cohort study consisted of pregnant patients from a private practice obstetrics clinic. The primary exposure was early HgbA1c measurement, and the primary outcome was third trimester 1-hour GCT results above or below 140 mg/dL. We calculated the predictive value of early HgbA1c to identify a 1-hour GCT... (See full abstract in article).
