Key clinical point: Fetal abdominal obesity (FAO) was already present at 20-24 gestational weeks (GW) in the high-risk older and/or obese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with FAO at 20-24 GW in women with GDM being associated with higher odds of FAO at GDM diagnosis.
Major finding: Compared with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), older and/or obese women (P < .05) but not young and nonobese women with GDM had a significantly higher fetal abdominal overgrowth ratio at gestational weeks 20-24. Compared with NGT women without FAO at 20-24 GW, the odds ratio for exhibiting FAO at GDM diagnosis was 10.15 (95% CI, 5.27-19.57).
Study details: Findings are from a retrospective review of 6,996 singleton pregnant women who had fetal biometry data measured at 20-24 GW and delivered at the respective medical center were included.
