GDM, GESTATIONAL DIABETES
The prevalence of gestational diabetes (GDM) varies regionally, thus affecting approximately 7–8% of pregnancies in Europe [Although reminder interventions have been found effective in targeting some of the many documented barriers to follow-up screening after birth, the effect varies strongly across settings [As previous studies of the effect of reminder interventions have followed women for only 12 months after birth, the available data concern the short-term effects of screening [The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an electronic reminder intervention targeting women whose pregnancy was complicated by GDM with regard to increasing participation in follow-up screening in general practice clinics. All women in the cohort who had delivered between 2012 and 2018 were eligible.
