Key result
Pregnancies with type 1 and type 2 diabetes carried a higher risk of fetal pathologic ventricular hypertrophy (50% and 25%, respectively) compared to gestational diabetes (1 of 54).
Why the study?
Does type 1 and type 2 diabetes in pregnancy increase the risk of pathologic ventricular hypertrophy in offspring compared to gestational diabetes?
Cohort (n=87)
Does type 1 and type 2 diabetes in pregnancy increase the risk of pathologic ventricular hypertrophy in offspring compared to gestational diabetes?
Absolute Event Rate: 50% vs 1.85%
Pregnancies with type 1 and type 2 diabetes carry a significantly higher risk of fetal pathologic ventricular hypertrophy compared to gestational diabetes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant enhanced fetal cardiac surveillance in pregestational diabetes; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Ullmo et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Diabetic pregnancy (n=87). Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes vs. Gestational diabetes was evaluated on Pathologic ventricular hypertrophy (PVH). Pregnancies with type 1 and type 2 diabetes carried a higher risk of fetal pathologic ventricular hypertrophy (50% and 25%, respectively) compared to gestational diabetes (1 of 54).
