Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2012;207(487). This large, prospective study administered a sleep survey to a clinic-based population and demonstrated that neither pregnancy-onset nor chronic snoring was associated with GDM after adjusting for confounders.

This prospective cohort study of obese pregnant women using home PSG reported that OSA was associated with increased prevalence of pre-eclampsia, neonatal intensive care unit admissions, and cesarean delivery, but not the prevalence of GDM. This finding emphasizes that obesity is a significant confounding variable when studying hyperglycemia in pregnancy among women with OSA.

This is the largest retrospective cohort study of pregnant women with PSG-confirmed SDB showing that the risk of GDM increased almost 2-fold (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.07-2.8) among women known to have antenatal SDB after controlling a number of maternal characteristics such as age, education level, and marital status.

This questionnaire based study found a significant inverse correlation between sleep duration and 1-hour glucose values following 50-g OGTT such that 1 hour of shorter sleep was associated with a 4% increase in glucose levels. Furthermore, it noted that increased SDB risk and a combination of increased SDB risk and short sleep duration were associated with a significantly higher risk of developing GDM.

This preliminary case-control study found no significant differences in either objective or subjective measures of sleep duration between women with and without GDM. This is the first study investigating differences of RDIs between women with GDM and controls.
