Screening for gestational diabetes: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The objective of this study was to update the 2012 review on screening for gestational diabetes to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force. The investigators concluded that direct evidence on screening vs no screening remained limited. One- vs 2-step screening was not significantly associated with improved health outcomes. At or after 24 weeks of gestation, treatment of gestational diabetes was significantly associated with improved health outcomes.

Factors associated with postpartum diabetes screening in women with gestational diabetes and Medicaid during pregnancy.
This study’s goal was to understand the factors associated with the receipt of postpartum diabetes screening for women with gestational diabetes in a state without Medicaid expansion. Findings showed that prenatal certified diabetes education and access to public transportation were associated with increased screening, the total number of prenatal visits, the use of diabetes medication during pregnancy, and a pregnancy-specific comorbidity index that incorporated age.

Variation in prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus among hospital discharges for obstetric delivery across 23 states in the United States.
The authors examined variability in diagnosed gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prevalence at delivery by race/ethnicity and state. Their results suggest that GDM rates differ by state, with this variation attributable to differences in obesity at the population level, age, race/ethnicity, hospital, and insurance.
