Özet
<p>Placental elasticity was compared by using Shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with and without insulin to non-diabetic controls. Three groups were created as follows: Group 1 (<em>n</em> = 79, GDM with insulin therapy), Group 2 (<em>n</em> = 90, GDM with only diet) and Group 3 (<em>n</em> = 150, healthy controls) All patients were above 36 gestational weeks with anterior placenta. Clinical trial number was also received (NCT04455880). Group 1 had higher BMI while group 3 had lowest rate of C/S. Birthweight in GDM groups was statistically significantly higher than controls (<em>p</em> = .001). Although there was no significant difference between APGAR scores, Group 1 had higher rates of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission. SWE values were significantly higher in GDM patients treated with insulin or diet than controls. SWE may be an alternatively supplementary management modality in GDM.</p>
