Abstract

Macrosomia or large for gestational age (LGA) may complicate gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). While the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is diagnostic of GDM, the potential of an early predictive tool of high birth weight has prompted the exploration of biomarkers and fetal biometry. We examined the relationship between established biomarkers and fetal biometry measurements taken at the anomaly ultrasound scan (US) at 20-22 weeks’ gestation for predicting high birth weight in women screened selectively for GDM.
