Abstract

Background: Pre-gestational or gestational diabetes in pregnancy is now more common among pregnant mothers as a result of the obesity pandemic. Objective: To determine frequency of diabetic and non-diabetic patients having fetal anomalies at 3rd trimester using ultrasound. Methodology: Descriptive study was conducted at radiology department Chughtai Lab, Lahore. About 250 Diabetic and Non-Diabetic pregnant women of all age were included in this study. Consecutive sampling technique was used Data was analyzed by SSPS version 24.0. All quantitative variables were reported in mean ± S.D were presented in frequency and percentage and bar charts were presented. Results: The mean age of 250 participants was 28±5.1 with minimum age of 15 years and maximum age of 45 years. Out of 250 participants, 210(84%) had no Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and 40(16%) had Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Out of 250 patients, 204(81.6%) had adequate Amniotic Fluid Index value, 27(10.8%) had Oligohydramnios and 19(7.6%) had Polyhydramnios. In our study 16(6.4%) diabetic patients and 26(10.4%) non-diabetic patients have anomalies. Conclusion: The study concluded that frequency of anomalies doesn’t depend on patients being diabetic or non-diabetic. As in our study diabetic patients are lesser anomalies than the non-diabetic patients.
