GDM, gestational diabetes mellitus; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test; PTB, preterm birth; LBW, low birth weight; SGA, small for gestational age; LGA, large for gestational age. Group 1 represents normal plasma glucose at 0h, 1h and 2h; Group 2 represents abnormal plasma glucose at 0h, but normal plasma glucose at 1h and 2h; Group 3 represents normal plasma glucose at 0h, but abnormal plasma glucose at 1h or 2h; Group 4 represents abnormal plasma glucose at 0h, 1h or 2h. Adjusted for maternal age, gravidity, parity, assisted reproduction, gestational hypertension, gestational thyroid disorders, delivery mode and infant sex. Bold represents P values less than 0.05.
