ObjectiveTo systematically review the prevalence rate of gestational diabetes mellitus in Chinese population.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect relevant literature of the prevalence rate of gestational diabetes in Chinese population from inception to October 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using R 3.4.1 software.ResultsA total of 27 studies were included involving 183 338 peoples, of whom 23 834 were diagnosed as gestational diabetes mellitus by oral glucose tolerance test (75g). The prevalence rate was 13% (95%CI 10 to 16). The prevalence rate of gestational diabetes mellitus in north area was 13% (95%CI 9 to 19), central area was 11% (95%CI 2 to 39), east area was 15% (95%CI 12 to 19), south area was 12% (95%CI 11 to 14), northwest area was 5% (95%CI 3 to 8) and southwest area was 4% (95%CI 3 to 4). The prevalence rate of gestational diabetes mellitus during January 2005 to December 2012 was 11% (95%CI 7 to 16), during December 2012 to June 2016 was 17% (95%CI 14 to 20). The prevalence of specialist hospitals was 9% (95%CI 6 to 14), and which of comprehensive hospital was 14% (95%CI 11 to 18). The prevalence of gestational diabetes screening at 24 to 28 weeks gestation remained at 13% (95%CI 10 to 17).ConclusionThe prevalence rate of gestational diabetes mellitus is high in China. The prevalence rate of gestational diabetes mellitus in north China, central China and east China is significantly higher than that in southern China, northwest China and southwest China. The prevalence rate during 2012-2016 is significantly higher than that in 2005 to 2012. Improvement of lifestyle and living standard should be considered be closely related with that. The prevalence of comprehensive hospitals is higher than specialist hospitals. It is related to the China’s economic conditions, medical care situations and the medical habits of patients.
Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) is a type of disease unique to women during pregnancy. The most common clinical types are gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, which seriously threaten the health of pregnant women and fetuses. At present, there are no established criteria for the prediction and prevention of HDP. In recent years, a large number of studies have been carried out on HDP around the world, and many studies have shown a close correlation between serum uric acid and HDP. This article reviews the results of existing literature, elucidates the relationship between serum uric acid and the pathogenesis of HDP, prediction of HDP occurrence and development, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Objective To summarize the recent studies on diagnosis and treatment for pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) to provide evidence for diagnosis and treatment for PABC. Methods By PubMed, Medline, and CNKI retrieval system, with “pregnancy-associated breast cancer or PABC, diagnosis of pregnancy-associated breast cancer or PABC, treatment of pregnancy-associated breast cancer or PABC” as key words to retrieval for the recent researches about PABC. All of the publications about studies on diagnosis and treatment for PABC were reviewed and summarized. Results Diagnosis of PABC included ultrasound, mammography, magnetic resonance imaging, needle biopsy, and so on, and the treatment contained surgery, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. However, when diagnosis and treatment for PABC involved, the impact to patients with pregnancy and fetus must be considered in priority. Conclusions By reviewing the studies of relevant papers about diagnosis and treatment for PABC which can provide a clinical guidance for clinicians. Usage of bevacizumab and lapatinib still needs to further be studied.
The authors studied retrospectively clinical data of seventy cases with breast cancer during pregnancy and lactation.They were treated and diagnosed by operation and pathology.Primary factors influencing prognosis were analyzed.It was demonstrated that 5year survival rate of the patients were significantly influenced by clinical stage , month of pregnancy and lactation, time of symptoms, type of operation, type of pathology, histological grade of malignancy, recurrence and metastasis, and estrogen receptor status (P<0.05).Age and termination of pregnancy had no beneficial effect on survival (P>0.05).The prognosis of pregnant and lactating breast cancer was poorer than ordinary breast cancer.Their 5year survival rate were 55.7% and 74.3%, respectively. After they were matched for stage and for age, no difference in survival was found.Early diagnosis and radical operation combined with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy have better prognosis.The method can shorten time of treatment and improve survival rate.Termination of pregnancy has not been shown to improve survival and shall not be advised routinely.Future pregnancy may be detrimental and shall be discouraged.
Objective Based on the methodology of evidence-based medicine, we explored the prognosis of a patient with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods We searched ACP Journal Club (1991 to October 2006), The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2006), MEDLINE (1990 to October 2006) and Chinese Biomedicine database (CBM). Cohort studies, case-control studies and case series studies involving the prognosis of patients with GDM were collected. The available evidence was critically appraised. Results During the period from 6 weeks to 28 years after delivery, the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus appeared to vary from 2.6% to 70%. Patients with GDM suffered from an increased incidence of spontaneous premature delivery, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and vaginal infection. Conclusion Patients with GDM appears to be more liable to overt diabetes mellitus, and to suffer fromspontaneous premature delivery, hypertension, metabolic syndrome and vaginal infection than women with normal glucose tolerance during pregnancy. Further studies of the long-term follow-up data from GDM trials are needed.
