Core Tip
Core Tip: The aim of this investigation was to elucidate the relationship between glycated albumin (GA) levels and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a prevalent gestational complication characterized by glucose intolerance. Emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention, this study used a meta-analytical approach to consolidate existing evidence, thereby performing a comprehensive examination of GA as a potential biomarker for GDM. By aggregating data from diverse studies, this research not only corroborated the association of elevated GA levels with increased GDM risk but also highlighted the significance of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in this context. Consequently, the findings advocate for the inclusion of GA and HbA1c monitoring in prenatal care practices as a means to enhance early detection and management strategies for GDM, aiming to mitigate the adverse outcomes associated with this condition.
