Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a graphic based education tool on patient knowledge of macrosomia through the use of a survey and to evaluate knowledge at 1-2 weeks after initial review of the education tool.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of routine exercise counseling compared to the recommendation for postprandial ambulation on infant birthweight among pregnant people with gestational diabetes mellitus. The primary outcome is birthweight percentile for gestational age at delivery. Secondary outcomes include feasibility and acceptability, need for metformin or insulin for glycemic control, mode of delivery, neonatal hypoglycemia. Participants will be counseled to either complete 20 minutes of walking after meals, or be counseled with routine exercise counseling of 30 minutes of low-impact 5x a week. Their activity will be tracked by "FitBit" pedometers and uploaded via bluetooth to a database for review. They will continue to receive routine obstetric and diabetes care.
This is a prospective, observational study which examines the association between maternal triglycerides in the antepartum period and fetal overgrowth in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes. Mothers are asked to provide 2 blood samples, undergo fingerstick blood measurements, and to have their newborns measured for body fat composition in the first 6 months of life.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of macrosomia and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Screening strategies are debated: universal vs. selective, and macrosomia may begin before the time of screening, suggesting that glycation markers may have an interest. The objective of this trail is to compare novel markers: skin autofluorescence and glycated albumin, to HbA1c (reference) as predictors of GDM, macrosomia and other adverse outcomes, in pregnant women.
To determine and evaluate the diagnostic performance of Doppler sonography of umbilical artery (UA), fetal middle cereberal artery (MCA), ductus venosus (VD) and umbilical vein (UV) for prediction of adverse perinatal outcome among diabetic pregnant women.
Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) affects about 0.1-0.2% of all pregnancies. T1DM in pregnancy increases the risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGM) provide a continuous display of measured glucose. Studies have shown improved pregnancy outcomes for patients with T1DM using CGM when compared to capillary blood glucose measurements. This prospective observational study analyses impact of glycemic variability on development of large-for-gestational-age neonates and effects of hypoglycemia during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes. Furthermore, overall glycemic regulation, different insulin metrics and C-peptide concentration during pregnancy will also be assesed.
Abnormal fetal size includes fetal growth restriction and fetal macrosomia. Onset is closely related to maternal nutrition metabolism. The specific correlation and mechanism is unclear, and there are no effective measures for early diagnosis and treatment. Previous study found that maternal gut microbiota participates in the material metabolism throughout the pregnancy. Insulin sensitivity in pregnant women, and intrauterine environment under abnormal blood glucose and lipid metabolism are important for the gut microbiota of newborns and even they grow up. However, changes in gut microbiota are the cause of the disease or the outcome is not yet clear. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are produced from soluble dietary fibers in the diet by colon bacteriolysis. Studies have found that gut microbiota can regulate insulin sensitivity and glucose and lipid metabolism disorders through SCFAs. Therefore, this research group uses the gut microbiota as a new idea to studythe relationship of gut microbiota characteristics and level's change of SCFAs with glucolipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in pregnant women with abnormal fetal size and their newborns through 16S-rRNA high-throughput sequencing, pyrosequencing, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, so we can reveal the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of abnormal fetal size and explore targeted rational dietary adjustment and SCFAs reconstruction of gut microbiota to improve maternal and neonatal pregnancy outcomes.
Fetal macrosomia defined as birth weight above 90th centile ,macrosomia occurs in 42-62%of pregnancy complicated by type 1 diabetes mellitus ,in 30-56% of pregnancy complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus . -The delivery of macrosomic infant has potentially severe consequence for both the newborn and mother .Increased birth weight increase the risk in the fetus of shoulder dystocia and premature brachial plexus injury ,and those infant weighing above 4500g are at increased risk for neonatal morbidity ,including the need for assisted ventilation and meconium aspiration .Maternal complication result from operative delivery and include postpartum hemorrhage ,third or fourth degree laceration and postpartum infection .
The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to investigate the relationship between placental thickness during the second and third trimesters and placental and birth weights.
