Relevance: The prevalence of fetal macrosomia is steadily increasing worldwide and reaches up to 20%. Fetal macrosomia complicates the course of pregnancy and birth, leading to the increase in the number of emergency caesarean sections and perinatal losses by 1.5–3 times. Current prediction strategies are inaccurate, and most patients with fetal macrosomia are sent to labor with the “unknown status”. Current prognostic strategies are inaccurate, and the majority of patients with fetal macrosomia go into labor with the "unknown status".
Objective: To assess the clinical and laboratory risk factors for fetal macrosomia with subsequent development of prognostic mathematical models.
Materials and methods: The case-control study included 110 female patients. Group I (the main group) consisted of 30 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Group II (the control group) consisted of 80 women without GDM. The patients were stratified into four subgroups: Ia and 1b, IIa and IIb) depending on the presence of absence of fetal macrosomia and GDM. The clinical and laboratory risk factors were determined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Risk factors for the development of macrosomia included parity, body mass index before and during pregnancy, macrosomia in history, body weight of the pregnant woman and her partner (baby’s father) at birth, triglyceride and glucose levels at 24–28 weeks of pregnancy, estimated fetal weight during the 3rd ultrasound screening, and baby’s gender. Based on the obtained clinical and laboratory data, mathematical prediction models of macrosomia were constructed. The sensitivity was 100–78%, and specificity was 85–50%, the AUC was 0.76–0.77.
Conclusion: The developed mathematical models can be used to predict the development of fetal macrosomia at or after 24 weeks of pregnancy, both independently of the presence of GDM (also in the group with unknown GDM status) and can be used separately in the group of women with carbohydrate metabolism disorders.
