Insights
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses risks to mothers and infants. This study developed advanced diagnostic models using blood glucose, lipids, and urine polypeptides, improving GDM detection accuracy.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Clinical Diagnostics
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) presents significant short- and long-term health risks for both mothers and infants.
- Comprehensive analysis of clinical diagnostic markers and urinary polypeptides is crucial for effective GDM management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the diagnostic value of key clinical indexes and urinary polypeptides for GDM.
- To establish and compare comprehensive diagnostic models for GDM using machine learning techniques.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of clinical indexes including serum triglyceride (TRIG), HDL-C, FPG, and HbA1c.
- Analysis of seven GDM-related urinary polypeptides, including human hemopexin (HEMO).
- Development of diagnostic models using multiple logistic regression, multilayer perceptron neural network, radial basis function, and discriminant analysis.
Main Results:
- HbA1c demonstrated the highest diagnostic value among individual clinical indexes (AUC=0.769).
- Human hemopexin (HEMO) showed the highest diagnostic value among urinary polypeptides (AUC=0.690).
- The multilayer perceptron neural network model achieved the highest AUC (0.942), outperforming other machine learning models.
Conclusions:
- A GDM diagnostic model integrating blood glucose, blood lipid, and urine polypeptide indexes offers a robust diagnostic approach.
- This study supports the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in developing advanced GDM diagnostic systems.
Background:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has many adverse outcomes that seriously threaten the short-term and long-term health of mothers and infants. This study comprehensively analyzed the clinical diagnostic value of GDM-related clinical indexes and urine polypeptide research results, and established comprehensive index diagnostic models.
Methods:
In this study, diagnostic values from the clinical indexes of serum triglyceride (TRIG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and 7 GDM-related urinary polypeptides were analyzed retrospectively. The multiple logistic regression equation, multilayer perceptron neural network model, radial basis function, and discriminant analysis function models of GDM-related indexes were established using machine language.
Results:
The results showed that HbA1c had the highest diagnostic value for GDM, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.769. When the cut-off value was 4.95, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 70.5% and 70.0%, respectively. Among the seven GDM-related urinary polypeptides, human hemopexin (HEMO) had the highest diagnostic value, with an AUC of 0.690. When the cut-off value was 368.5, the sensitivity and specificity were 79.5% and 43.3%, respectively. The AUC of the multilayer perceptron neural network model was 0.942, followed by binary logistic regression (0.938), radial basis function model (0.909), and the discriminant analysis function model (0.908).
Conclusion:
The establishment of a GDM diagnostic model combining blood glucose, blood lipid, and urine polypeptide indexes can lay a foundation for exploring machine language and artificial intelligence in diagnostic systems.
