Background: Studies have shown that obesity and lipid metabolism disorders can lead to increased Lp-PLA2 ac-tivity in the body. However, few studies have reported the correlation between Lp-PLA2 and postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women with GMD.
Methods: Clinical data was collected from 43 pregnant women with gestational diabetes combined with postpartum hemorrhage and 50 pregnant women with postpartum diabetes without postpartum bleeding during the same period. Lp-PLA2 expression levels in the serum of pregnant women in both groups were detected. The predictive value of Lp-PLA2 expression level for postpartum hemorrhage was clarified.
Results: (1) From 20w to 32w pregnancy, the serum Lp-PLA2 levels of pregnant women in both groups showed a gradual increasing trend. (2) The serum Lp-PLA2 level of the pregnant women in the research group was significantly higher (p < 0.001). (3) Binary logistic regression analysis shows that Lp-PLA2 level has a good correlation with postpartum major bleeding. (4) Comparing of Lp-PLA2 levels in different gestational weeks with respect to its efficacy for predicting postpartum hemorrhage found that the sensitivity and specificity of 24w Lp-PLA2 levels are higher than other gestational weeks, and the area under the 24w parameter curve (0.955) > 32w area under the parameter curve (0.952) > area under the 20w parameter curve (0.940) > area under the 28w parameter curve (0.887). (5) The birth weight of the newborn in the research group was significantly heavier (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Dynamic monitoring of the expression level of Lp-PLA2 in the serum of pregnant women can predict the risk of postpartum hemorrhage in pregnant women at an early stage and help optimize the rescue plan for postpartum hemorrhage.
