Comparison of ultrasound with biomarkers to identify large-for-gestational age in women screened for gestational diabetes mellitus

Objective Large-for-gestational-age (LGA) is associated with both fetal and maternal complications. One of the few modifiable risk factors for LGA is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM); for this reason, fetal growth is usually monitored by ultrasound in the third trimester.
