The Role of Umbilical Cord Thickness, Interventricular Septum Thickness and HbA1c Levels in the Prediction of Fetal Macrosomia in Patients with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: Journal of Gynecological Research and Obstetrics - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To assess and evaluate the role of measuring umbilical cord thickness, interventricular septum thickness and HbA1c level in predictability of fetal macrosomia development in cases having gestational DM Methods: A prospective case-control research study that recruited 80 pregnant study subjects. They were categorized into two research groups: 40 pregnant women as cases research group having gestational DM and 40 non-diabetic pregnant Study subjects as control research group. Sonographic examination was conducted in which the sonographic cross sectional area of umbilical cord. Umbilical arteries and the umbilical vein measured from a free loop of the umbilical cord, implementing the software of the sonographic machine. The cross-sectional area of Wharton’s jelly have been obtained by subtracting the cross sectional area of the vessels from that of the umbilical cord and the interventricular septum thickness was measured. HbA1c level have been assayed for diabetic cases recruited.
