Abstract

Aim: During diabetic pregnancy, complex metabolic changes occur in the lipid profile. The aim of
the study was to determine the predictive values of maternal serum lipid levels on large-for-gestational
age newborns during the third trimester in pregnancies of women with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(DM2) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Material and methods: Data of forty-three pregnancies of women with DM2 and two hundred
women with GDM were analyzed. The analysis encompassed the following parameters: age, body
mass index (BMI), lipid parameters, HbA1c in first, second and third trimester of pregnancy,
preeclampsia and baby birth weight.
Results: DM2 and GDM groups showed statistically significant differences in the following
variables: total lipids, triglycerides, total cholesterol, BMI, age, baby birth weight, incidence of SGA
and preterm delivery (9.4 ± 2.3 vs. 11.0 ± 2.3 mmol/L, 2.4 ± 1.4 vs. 3.4 ± 1.6 mmol/L, 5.5 ± 1.2 vs.
6.4 ± 1.4 mmol/L, 30.6 ± 5.4 vs. 26.9 ± 5.2 kg/m2, 34 ± 7.8 vs. 31.5 ± 5.6 years, 3183 ± 972 vs. 3533
± 699 g., 20% vs. 7.5%, 27.9 vs. 14%, respectively, p < 0.05). Linear multiple regression analysis
demonstrated that triglycerides, LDL-C and total cholesterol were independent predictors of LGA (p
< 0.05).
Conclusion: Triglycerides and LDL-C in the third trimester of pregnancy are independent predictors
for fetal macrosomia in DM2 and GDM pregnancies. Thus, the maternal serum triglycerides and
LDL-C levels determined in the maternal blood taken in the third trimester of pregnancy may
indentify women who will give birth to LGA newborns.
