Abstract:

Objective: To explore the relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus with premature rupture of membranes and vaginal microbial infection and pregnancy outcome. Methods: From June 2019 to June 2020, pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus and PPROM in our hospital were selected as the study group (n=64) and normal pregnant women in our hospital at the same time as the control group (n=50). Vaginal secretions were collected for the detection of group B streptococcus (GBS), bacterial vaginosis (BV) and Candida (CM). Cervical secretions were used for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) and Chlamydia (CT). The vaginal microbial infection and pregnancy outcomes were recorded. Results: There was significant difference in GBS, UU and CT infection between the two groups (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in BV and CM infection (P>0.05). GDM combined with PPROM was positively correlated with GBS, UU and CT infection (r=0.293, 0.202, 0.189, respectively), and GBS infection was most significantly related. The incidence of chorioamnionitis was significantly higher in GBS and CT infection groups (r=0.375, 0.277), neonatal pneumonia was significantly higher in GBS, CT and BV infection groups (r=0.248, 0.239, 0.245), and the incidence of pathological jaundice in UU and CT infection groups was significantly higher (r=0.489, 0.292). Conclusions: It is of great significance to carry out vaginal microbiological detection in women with gestational diabetes mellitus, and the infection of GBS may lead to the occurrence of PPROM, and further lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as chorioamnionitis and neonatal pneumonia.
