Objectives: After studying the article entitled “The Early Sonographic Prediction of Gestational Diabetes in Women From India,” you will be able to:
Identify the effects of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on both the mother and fetus
Describe the research study
Understand how body mass index (BMI) can predict GDM
Which percentage of GDM patients end up developing diabetes type II a decade after delivery? 10% 40% 50% 60%
Which plasma glucose level indicated GDM in a fasting patient? ≥92 mg/dL ≥153 mg/dL ≥180 mg/dL ≥50 mg/dL
Which percentage of subjects with a BMI over 25 had GDM? 100% 47% 29% 52%
Which age group had the highest percentage of subjects with GDM? 15–20 21–25 26–35 36–40
Which total adipose tissue (TAT) was associated with the highest number of patients without GDM? >70 mm 56–70 mm 46–55 mm <45 mm
Which imaging modality monitors visceral fat, but is not feasible with pregnancy? Ultrasound Magnetic resonance imaging Computed tomography Nuclear medicine
How many pregnant females were included in this research study? 70 190 140 250
