GPT's summary
This study found that higher first-trimester maternal hemoglobin (Hb) levels are independently associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) after adjusting for key covariates. Hb levels were also positively correlated with pre-pregnancy BMI, glucose levels, and blood pressure. While elevated Hb levels predicted GDM risk, they had minimal impact on perinatal outcomes.
