Postpartum Outcomes in Women with Gestational Diabetes and their Offspring (POGO)
The POGO study aims to identify changes in the metabolism and microbiome of women and their offspring after experiencing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Between 2011 and 2017, POGO recruited mothers who were screened for GDM in one of four outpatient clinics in Munich, Tübingen, and Düsseldorf in Germany between 1998 and 2009, and their offspring. As of 2013, the study included over 100 mothers and over 130 offspring. Baseline data were derived from the records of the initial GDM screening between 1998 and 2009, and participants were followed up approximately 5 years post-pregnancy.
