الوصف: Objective: To analyze the effect of applying alternative diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during the COVID-19 pandemic on GDM prevalence and obstetrical and perinatal outcomes, in comparison to usual diagnostic approaches. Methods: Data from women referred to GDM diagnosis from 1 September to 30 November 2019 were retrospectively collected (2019-group). The same data from the same period in 2020 were prospectively collected (2020-group). In both cases, a two-step diagnostic approach was used, the first step being a screening test (1 h 50 goral glucose tolerance test, OGTT). In 2019 it was followed by a 100 gr OGTT for diagnosis. In 2020, this was replaced by a blood test for the measurement of plasma glucose and HbA1c, according to alternative GDM diagnostic criteria during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: From 237 women in the 2019 group, 40 (16.9%) were diagnosed with GDM, while from 255 women in the 2020 group, 37 (14.5%) had GDM (p = 0.470). More women in the 2020 group, in comparison to the 2019 group, were nulligravid (41.9% vs. 47.2%, p = 0.013), had a personal history of GDM (11.4% vs. 4.6%, p = 0.013) and had macrosomia in previous pregnancies (10.2% vs. 2.1%, p = 0.001). Obstetrical and perinatal outcomes were similar when comparing women with GDM to non-GDM women in the 2019 and 2020 groups and between GDM women and non-GDM women. Conclusion: In a Spanish population, GDM prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic using the alternative diagnostic criteria was similar to that found in 2019 using the usual diagnostic criteria. Despite women referred for GDM diagnosis during the pandemic having more GDM risk factors, obstetrical and perinatal outcomes were comparable to those observed before the pandemic.
