Relación del peso del recién nacido y test de O’Sullivan alterado en pacientes gestantes atendidas en el Hospital General del Norte IESS Ceibos.

Abstract

Introduction: Gestational diabetes is associated with different maternal and fetal complications, and, among maternal complications, it is found that 5 to 10% of patients who develop diabetes during pregnancy have a greater than 50% predisposition to develop type II diabetes. Objective: To determine the relationship between the weight of the newborn and the abnormal O'Sullivan test in pregnant patients treated at the General Hospital of the North of Guayaquil Los Ceibos. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study, with descriptive and correlational information analysis. Results: the results showed that it was possible to obtain that of the newborns whose weight was greater than 4000 G, 58.33% corresponded to patients whose test was altered; the weight between 2500 to 2999 G obtained 51.72%, the weight less than 2500 G was 40% and the weight between 3000 to 3999 G obtained 32.97%. The sensitivity and specificity of the O'Sullivan test for the diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes was obtained to be 65%. In addition, 42.86% of the patients with gestational diabetes had an altered O'Sullivan test (n=45). Conclusions: An age between 26 and 40 years, as well as a basal glucose below 125 mg/dl, are the most frequent clinical and epidemiological factors in the patients who were part of the sample. Weight gain greater than 11 kg throughout pregnancy and its relationship with an altered O'Sullivan test had a percentage of 48.72%.
