Evaluation and Management of Fetal Macrosomia
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 2021Macrosomia results from abnormal fetal growth and can lead to serious consequences for the mother and fetus. In cases of suspected macrosomia, patients must be counseled carefully regarding a delivery plan, and Cesarean section should be considered when indicated.

AbstractWhen macrosomia exists, shoulder dystocia is a pri‐mary obstetric concern. Current methods for estimating birth weight prior to delivery are imprecise, and macrosomia often cannot be predicted. Certain conditions or combinations of conditions should increase the index of suspicion for shouider dystocia.

Fetal macrosomia — maternal risks and fetal outcome
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 1990AbstractTwo hundred eighty‐four macrosomic babies of 4000 g or over at birth were compared with an equal number of appropriate weight term infants, to identify maternal risk factors and fetal outcome. Maternal obesity, grand multiparity, diabetes mellitus and post‐maturity were the major maternal risks.

Macrosomia: Maternal and Fetal Outcome
Asia-Oceania Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 1994AbstractThis retrospective case‐control study analyses the prevalence and outcome of macrosomia in a part of the underdeveloped world. Out of 6,093 deliveries at a large tertiary care centre, 234 (3.8%) were macrosomic. Maternal risk factors associated with the condition included age over 35, obesity, grand multiparity, postmaturity and impaired ...

Relationship of Glycosylated Hemoglobin, Fetal Macrosomia, and Birthweight Macrosomia
American Journal of Perinatology, 1994Previous studies have shown that glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb A1C) once elevated correlated with fetal malformations, poor perinatal outcome, and macrosomia. To determine whether Hb A1C was related to fetal diabetic complications such as polyhydramnois, fetal macrosomia, and fat line detected on ultrasonographic evaluation, 66 diabetic patient, types I,

Fetal Macrosomia: Etiologic Factors
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000Fetal growth can be considered the outcome of an interaction between the genetic cause of growth and constraints provided by limitations on substrate availability (selected amino acids, free fatty acids, and mainly glucose). It should be noted that the majority of large infants are constitutionally large and do not require special intervention, which ...

Fetal macrosomia in experimental maternal diabetes
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981Fetal macrosomia in diabetic pregnancy has been shown to accompany increases in the fetal levels of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins in animal model systems. In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this macrosomia, the synthesis of DNA and proteins, the transport of the precursors, and the tissue level of DNA polymerase activities in

[Fetal macrosomia. Maternal and fetal implications].
Minerva ginecologica, 1993Ninety-six cases of fetal macrosomia have been tested to focus on the factors necessary to select women running the risk of delivering macrosomic fetuses. The results of these studies are the following ones: a) pregnant women with pathology are multiparas; b) they are usually characterized by peculiar weight increase in pregnancy; c) they have gone ...
