Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Australia has tripled in the last 20 years. Consequently, over 40 000 pregnancies are now diagnosed as 'higher risk' each year. This has increased antenatal surveillance and obstetric intervention, often in the form of delivery earlier than 39 weeks gestation. The StUdy of Gestational diabetes And Risk using Electronic Data (SUGARED) project aims to use large population-based and routinely collected linked health data to (1) personalise risk prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes for women undergoing glucose tolerance testing, (2) guide optimal birth timing for women with diet-controlled GDM and (3) examine variation in GDM management and pregnancy outcomes in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
