Purpose: This study aim to determine the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnancies after IVF treatment and to evaluate the factors that reduce this risk. Material and Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the medical records of pregnant women who conceived following IVF at the in-vitro fertilization center between 2002-2019. The data were obtained from medical records and phone interviews. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: The incidence of GDM was found to be 16.7%. The regression model indicated that the risk of GDM was 4.57 times higher in the age group 36-40 at conception during the IVF cycle than the age group 31-35 (95% Cl = 1.18-17.73, p = .028). Furthermore, women who conceived after the second IVF trial had a risk of GDM 3.464 times higher than those that conceived after their first IVF trial (95% Cl = 1.07-11.23, p= .038). Conclusion: As age and number of IVF trials increase in infertile women, the risk of GDM increases after IVF treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
