ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of fetal thymic-thoracic ratio and fetal thymus transverse diameter measurements in gestational diabetes mellitus.METHODS:
Fetal thymic-thoracic ratio and fetal thymus transverse diameter were assessed in 360 pregnant women. Patients were examined in two groups 180 gestational diabetes mellitus (study group) and 180 healthy pregnant women (control group).RESULTS:
There were no statistically significant differences between the cases with gestational diabetes mellitus and the control group in terms of fetal thymus transverse diameter; however, the fetal thymic-thoracic ratio was found to be significantly lower in cases with gestational diabetes mellitus compared to that in the control group (p<0.001).CONCLUSION:
The fetal thymic-thoracic ratio is superior to the fetal thymus transverse diameter in evaluating the fetal thymus size.
