GDM, gestational diabetes mellites; T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellites; pre-BMI, pregestational body mass index; ART, assisted reproductive technology; GWG, gestational weight gain. * Pregnant women in derivation and validation cohorts aged 18–45 years old. ** pre-BMI was categorized as <25.0, 25.0–29.9, and ≥30.0 kg/m2 in white patients and <24.0, 24.0–27.9, and ≥28.0 kg/m2 in Asians. *** Thyroid antibodies related to thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and the anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TgAb). p value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
