Key result
Maternal diabetes mellitus and diabetic fetopathy were associated with significantly altered fetal cardiotocogram parameters, including increased accelerations and high episodes of basal heart rate.
Why the study?
Cardiomegaly develops in fetuses with diabetic fetopathy, prompting evaluation of the value of cardiotocogram parameters for diagnosing diabetic fetal cardiomyopathy.
Can cardiotocography parameters be used to diagnose diabetic fetal cardiomyopathy in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus?
Observational (n=668)
Can cardiotocography parameters be used to diagnose diabetic fetal cardiomyopathy in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus?
Cardiotocography parameters, specifically the number of accelerations and high episodes of basal heart rate, can help diagnose diabetic fetal cardiomyopathy and assess the severity of diabetic fetopathy.
Altered fetal CTG parameters in maternal diabetes warrant prospective validation; leaves open their diagnostic role in diabetic fetopathy.

Лысенко et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Diabetic fetal cardiomyopathy (n=668). Maternal diabetes mellitus and diabetic fetopathy vs. Pregnant women without diabetes mellitus was evaluated on Cardiotocogram parameters (number of accelerations and high episodes of fetal basal heart rate) and interventricular septum contractility. Maternal diabetes mellitus and diabetic fetopathy were associated with significantly altered fetal cardiotocogram parameters, including increased accelerations and high episodes of basal heart rate.
