English Abstract
Macrosomia is an unusually oversized fetus with a birth weight ≥ 4000 g.
The most common cause of macrosomia is diabetes in the mother (gestational diabetes), however, other risk factors have been suggested in the scientific literature. Macrosomia is associated with neonatal morbidity, neonatal injury, maternal injury, and a greater chance of a cesarean delivery.
Fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial glucose test, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test are the main tests that had been used in diagnosis and follow up of diabetes in pregnant mothers. This study reveals that there is a strong relationship between gestational diabetes and the prevalence of large for gestational age (as well as macrosomia).
The rate of large for gestational age in patient group was 89.6 % (n = 43) in comparison with 5.7 % (n = 3) in control group (P = < 0.0001).
No correlation between weight gain of the diabetic mothers during pregnancy and fetal macrosomia could be detected (P = 0.64).
The same negative correlation was found between the weight gain in non-diabetic mother and fetal macrosomia (P = 0.90).
Fetal sex in both groups has no effect on fetal weight or incidence of macrosomia.
Despite the strong relationship of gestational diabetes and the incidence of large for gestational age, as well as, macrosomia ; no correlation between macrosomia and any of blood sugar tests could be detected.
This finding indicates that blood sugar tests cannot be used as predictors for macrosomia, and that diagnosis of fetal macrosomia can be made only by measuring birth weight after delivery.
