Core Tip
Core Tip: Guizhou Province, located in southwest China, is a multi-ethnic inhabited area with a unique geographical environment, including plateaus, mountains, and hilly areas. Moreover, medical resources in Guizhou are relatively limited. This study investigates the incidence and related high-risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Guizhou, evaluates the prevention and treatment measures for gestational diabetes in Guizhou, and puts forward corresponding preventive measures to guide disease monitoring and early intervention for different high-risk factors, so as to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of GDM in the region, so as to reduce the incidence of maternal and infant complications.
