AB  - INTRODUCTION: Gestational diabetes has serious health effects during pregnancy 
      and childbirth. We estimated the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus 
      (GDM) among pregnant women in a secondary care hospital in Haryana. METHODS: It 
      was a hospital-based cross-sectional study, done in an ante-natal clinic (ANC) at 
      a sub-district hospital (SDH), Faridabad district of Haryana, India. Eligible 
      pregnant women attending the ANC clinic were recruited. An oral glucose tolerance 
      test (OGTT) with 75 g of glucose was done with a collection of blood for fasting 
      blood sugar (FBS) and two-hour post-OGTT blood glucose. A pre-tested 
      semi-structured interview schedule was administered. Both the modified 
      International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria 
      (IADPSGC) and the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group of India (DIPSI) criteria 
      were used. Data were presented as percentages, means, standard deviation, and 95% 
      confidence interval (CI). Bi-variable and multi-variable logistic regressions 
      were done. The level of significance was set at 0.05. RESULTS: Of the 623 
      eligible participants, 66.1% were within the 20-25 age group. The GDM was found 
      in 14.1% (95%CI: 11.5-17.1) participants as per modified IADPSG criteria and 6.7% 
      (95%CI: 4.9-9.0) participants as per DIPSI criteria, respectively. Increasing age 
      [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.24 (95% CI: 1.05-1.47), p=0.008] and increasing 
      years of schooling [AOR: 1.19 (1.01-1.41), p=0.032] were significantly associated 
      with GDM by DIPSI criteria. Family history of DM was also found to have an 
      increased odds with GDM using modified IADPSG criteria [AOR 2.87 (95% CI: 
      1.09-7.54), p=0.032].  Conclusion: Considerable proportion of pregnant women were 
      found to have GDM in a Sub-district hospital at Ballabgarh in north India. The 
      study highlighted the need and generated evidence about the feasibility of GDM 
      screening utilizing routine staff in a secondary care facility.
