Description
Summary:To evaluate the changes of fetal epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in pregnancies with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to identify the diagnostic effectiveness of fetal EFT in differentiating PGDM and GDM from normal pregnancies. The study was conducted with pregnant women who admitted to perinatology department between October 2020 and August 2021. Patients were grouped as PGDM (n = 110), GDM (n = 110), and control (n = 110) for comparison of fetal EFT. EFT was measured in all three groups at 29 weeks of gestation. Demographic characteristics and ultrasonographic findings were recorded and compared. The mean fetal EFT was significantly higher in PGDM (1.47 ± 0.083 mm, p
