Core Tip

Core tip: In the present study, the serum levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A, triglyceride, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in early pregnancy were evaluated. The results showed that these three parameters are potential influencing factors and can provide a certain predictive value for the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus. These factors have high value in clinical application.
