Table 3: Incidence and relative risk of developing GDM/DM at the
second trimester by fatty liver grade
Of the rest, 348 pregnant women were assessed at the end of the second
trimester. Two cases of DM in pregnancy and 11 GDM cases were detected
among previously normoglycaemic women. The incidence of DIP/GDM of FLG
I, II and III in the second trimester was 11.0, 43.9 and 162.2 per 1000
pregnancies respectively. The unadjusted relative risk of developing
DIP/GDM in the second trimester compared to FLG 0 was 3.8 (95% CI
0.79-19.4) and 12.5 (95% CI 2.6-60.0) for FLG I and FLG II,
respectively. The unconfounded effect of FL on developing GDM/DIP was
assessed using a binary logistic regression model with waist-to-hip
ratio, age, parity, FL grades, family history of diabetes, female
education, and BMI as probable confounders (Table 4). Only the FL grade
II was emerged as a significant risk factor for developing DIP/GDM with
a OR of 12.3.
