About this study

Official title: Intensive Lifestyle Intervention on Gestational Weight Gain and Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Overweight/Obese Pregnant Women With a History of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common reproductive disorder in women of childbearing age and is also associated with metabolic abnormalities including obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc. Importantly, a number of adverse outcome are seen in pregnancies complicated by PCOS, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preeclampsia and miscarriage. However, optimal management of PCOS complicated pregnancy is not known. This study seeks to explore whether healthy lifestyle intervention in overweight/obese pregnant women with PCOS could reduce gestational weight gain (GWG) and incidence of GDM.

Read the detailed description

A randomized controlled trial in PCOS pregnant women will be initiated at 8-12 weeks of gestation util delivery. Participants will be randomly assigned to the control group (standard care) or the intervention group (intensive lifestyle intervention). The intervention will focus on restricting energy intake combined with behavioral lifestyle modification through participation in group sessions and individual counseling. The primary outcome will be GWG and secondary outcome will be the incidence of GDM.

Our hypothesis is that intensive lifestyle intervention in overweight/obese pregnant women with PCOS will decrease GWG and reduce the incidence of GDM.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Lifestyle interventionExperimentalIntervention group: Intensive lifestyle intervention will be initiated from the first trimester (8-12wks) to delivery, with follow up every 2-4 weeks. Participants in the intervention group will be provided with an individualized dietary protocol with not less than 1500 calories per day in the first trimester and not less than 1800 calories per day after 13 weeks of gestation. Guidance on regular exercise is reinforced at the first and each follow up visit.
Receives: Behavioral: Intensive Lifestyle Intervention
Standard CareActive comparatorStandard care group: Participants will receive a 1.5-hour group session in which standard prenatal intervention on diet, nutrition and physical activity and recommendation for gestational weight gain are reviewed by a registered dietitian. Thereafter, participants will receive their regularly scheduled follow up visits without additional lifestyle guidance.
Receives: Behavioral: Standard Care
