Multiple logistic regression models were used to identify the odds of GDM according to 1-SD increment and tertiles of maternal serum polyols during pregnancy, respectively. Serum polyols levels were Box–Cox-transformed in multiple logistic regression models. Model 1, unadjusted. Model 2, model 1 + age at OGTT, family history of diabetes, and parity. Model 3, model 2 + prepregnancy BMI. Model 4, model 3 + mean arterial pressure.

a Statistical significance: CI does not cross 1.
