Diagnostic accuracy of maternal serum multiple marker screening for early detection of gestational diabetes mellitus in the absence of a gold standard test.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse diabetic complications for both mother and child during pregnancy. The common Gold Standard (GS) for diagnosis of GDM is 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during 24-28 gestational weeks which seems a little late for any proper intervention. This study aimed to employ the Bayesian latent class models (LCMs) for estimating the early diagnostic power of combination of serum multiple marker in detecting GDM during 14-17 weeks of gestation. METHODS:Data from a sample of 523 pregnant women who participated in gestational diabetes screening tests at health centers affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran from 2017 to 2018 were used. The beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) values were extracted from case records for all participants. The Bayesian LCMs were applied for estimating sensitivity, specificity, and area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of combining the three biomarkers' results in the absence of GS, adjusting for maternal age and body mass index. RESULTS:The mean (standard deviation) maternal age of the participants was 28.76 (±5.33) years. Additionally, the mean (standard deviation) BMI was 24.57 (±3.22) kg/m2. According to the Bayesian model, the cSensitivity, cSpecificity, and cAUC for the optimal composite diagnostic test were estimated as 94% (95% credible interval (CrI) [0.91-0.99]), 86% (95% CrI [0.80-0.92]), and 0.92 (95% CrI [0.87-0.98]), respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Overall, the findings revealed that the combination of uE3, AFP, and β-hCG results might be considered as an acceptable predictor for detecting GDM with a rather high level of accuracy in the early second trimester of pregnancy without a GS.
