The Role of Placenta, Fetal Liver, Sectional Ductus Venosus Volumes Examined by Three-dimensional Ultrasound in the Second Trimester in Predicting Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Maternal-fetal Outcomes

Investigators measured the placenta, fetal liver and ductus venosus volumes of pregnant women with GDM diagnosis and normal glycemic indices in the second trimester.Investigators aimed to correlate measurements with maternal/fetal outcomes and evaluate their success in predicting poor obstetric outcomes

Study Overview

Detailed Description

GDM screening may not always be possible with OGTT performed in limited weeks of gestation. In addition, mid-trimester ultrasound scanning is done in all pregnancies. Therefore, measurement of placental volume and fetal liver volume may be an alternative method for the diagnosis of GDM. In order to predict GDM in the second trimester, the use of 3D sonography and VOCAL (Virtual Organ Computer Aided Analysis) technology in high-risk pregnant women and their cost-effectiveness rates should be investigated further. Multicenter randomized controlled studies with more patients are needed to be able to say more clearly.

Intervention / Treatment
Other: placenta, fetal liver, sectional ductus venosus volumes between 24-29 weeks pregnant women
The placenta, fetal liver and ductus venosus volumes of 46 patients diagnosed with GDM and 93 patients without a GDM diagnosis between 24-29 weeks were evaluated with 3D ultrasound.
Fetal liver, placenta, and ductus venosus were defined in 3 orthogonal multi-plane images in the voluson 4D view vocal program.
