Key result
Maternal clinical and ultrasound model predicts GDM with ~90% accuracy.
Why the study?
Predictive models were needed to predict gestational diabetes mellitus using maternal clinical and ultrasonographic parameters alongside fetal ultrasonographic measurements obtained during routine second-trimester examination.
Can maternal and fetal clinical and ultrasonographic parameters predict gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation?
Case-Control (n=80)
Can maternal and fetal clinical and ultrasonographic parameters predict gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation?
Maternal and fetal ultrasonographic parameters combined with clinical risk factors can effectively predict gestational diabetes mellitus during routine second-trimester examinations.

Hypothesis-generating for GDM prediction models using neck circumference; larger prospective validation required before clinical use.
Tekin et al. (2025) conducted a case-control in Gestational diabetes mellitus (n=80). Maternal and fetal clinical and ultrasonographic parameters vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Presence or absence of gestational diabetes mellitus. A maternal predictive model incorporating clinical and ultrasonographic parameters achieved 90.0% accuracy and an AUC of 0.95 for predicting gestational diabetes mellitus.
