SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 12 weeks postpartum

Population: Results for usable data

Specificity for CGM compared to oral glucose tolerance test for diagnosis of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose. The specificity of a test is the number and proportion of people who test negative among all those who actually do not have that disease. A higher specificity in a test indicates it is better at correctly identifying individuals with the condition. Specificity for Time in Range 70-180 mg/dL of \<96% for abnormal OGTT is reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 12 weeks postpartum

Population: Results for usable data

Sensitivity for CGM compared to oral glucose tolerance test for diagnosis of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose. The sensitivity of a test is the number of people who test positive among all those who actually have the disease. A higher sensitivity in a test indicates it is better at correctly identifying those who have the condition and not missing cases. Sensitivity for Time in Range 70-180 mg/dL of \<96% for abnormal OGTT is reported.

PPV for CGM compared to oral glucose tolerance test for diagnosis of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose. Positive predictive value is the probability that following a positive test result, that individual will truly have that specific disease. Positive predictive value (PPV) of Time in Range 70-180 mg/dL of \<96% to predict abnormal OGTT is reported.

PLR for CGM compared to oral glucose tolerance test for diagnosis of diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance and impaired fasting glucose. PLR compares the likelihood of a positive test result in people with a disease to the likelihood in people without the disease and is used to help determine how likely a disease is present if a test is positive. The higher the PRL, the stronger the evidence that a positive test result supports the presence of the condition. PLR of Time in Range 70-180 mg/dL of \<96% to predict abnormal OGTT is reported.

NLR estimates how likely a patient is to not have a disease after a negative test. The lower the NRL, the stronger the evidence that a negative test result supports the absence of the condition. NLR of Time in Range 70-180 mg/dL of \<96% to predict abnormal OGTT is reported.
