Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
Gestational diabetes Mellitus is defined as impaired carbohydrate tolerance first recognized during pregnancy, which has adverse maternal and fetal outcome. It may result in Macrosomia or IUGR both of which have a low APGAR score. This study aims to predict these fatal complications in antenatal period by ultrasonogram screening in the second trimester of pregnancy by checking for Umbilical cord thickness and umbilical cross sectional area which are routinely not measured but are known to be good predictors of birth weight and APGAR score. The study was carried out among the patients attending regular antenatal check up in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Trichy SRM, and screened for GDM at 20- 24 weeks (n=100). The study participants and controls were subjected to Ultra sonogram at 20-24 weeks and Umbilical cord Thickness and cross sectional area were measured which had a significant correlation with Birthweight and APGAR score (p<0.005).
