Association between the glucose pattern in oral glucose tolerance test and adverse pregnancy outcomes among non-diabetic women

Table 2 Pregnancy delivery and neonatal outcomes with different AUC-OGTT patterns during 24–28 weeks of gestation

Variables	SA Pattern (n = 7,834)	MA pattern (n = 7,894)	LA pattern (n = 7,849)	P-value ^a	P-value ^b
Preeclampsia (n, %)	98 (1.25)	125 (1.58)	157 (2.00)	0.078	< 0.001
Gestational age (weeks)	39.3 ± 1.4	39.2 ± 1.5	39.1 ± 1.5	< 0.001	< 0.001
Preterm birth (n, %)	321 (4.10)	361 (4.57)	406 (5.17)	0.143	0.001
Birth weight (g)	3,283 ± 415	3,311 ± 431	3,344 ± 460	< 0.001	< 0.001
Macrosomia (n, %)	297 (3.79)	416 (5.27)	538 (6.85)	< 0.001	< 0.001
Caesarean delivery (n, %)	2,585 (33.00)	2,966 (37.57)	3,216 (40.97)	< 0.001	< 0.001

Continuous variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation and compared using the independent sample t-test. Categorical variables were expressed as proportions (%) and compared using the chi-square test. The SA, MA, and LA patterns represent three distinct categories based on the AUC of OGTT, corresponding to small, medium, and large areas respectively
P-value ^a, MA pattern vs. SA pattern; P-value ^b, LA pattern vs. SA pattern
AUC, area under the curve; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test
