Association of early pregnancy body iron stores with the development of gestational diabetes mellitus: A hospital-based cohort study
Our findings suggest that elevated body iron store in early pregnancy is associated with the increased risk of GDM. STFR to ferritin ratio can be used for the accurate estimation of body iron status during gestational diabetes as it eliminates the errors associated with inflammatory conditions.
