Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology Dec 08, 2020
Rekawek P, Liu L, Getrajdman C, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate whether large‐for‐gestational-age (LGA) diagnosed during second‐trimester ultrasound examination is associated with the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and LGA at birth. Researchers designed a retrospective cohort study that 756 patients with an LGA fetus and 756 with an AGA fetus on second‐trimester ultrasound examination between 18 and 22 weeks at the institution from 2012 to 2017. It was reported that the LGA diagnosed during second‐trimester ultrasound examination is correlated with the development of GDM and LGA at birth, independent of known risk factors, and could be applied to distinguish these women earlier for intervention.
