AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for pregnant women aged 18-45 years, with type 1 diabetes or with a normal pregnancy and normal glucose test, planning to deliver in Turku University Hospital.
- Age
- 18-45 years
- Sex
- Women only
- Disease stage
- Singleton pregnancy, with gestational age confirmed by first trimester ultrasound. One group has type 1 diabetes; the control group has a normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 gestational weeks.
- Biomarker or test result
- Controls need a normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 gestational weeks.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Major fetal chromosomal, genetic or structural anomaly
- Fetal growth restriction, or birth weight below the 10th centile
- Verified fetal infection, or placenta accreta spectrum disorder
- Major maternal medical condition needing systemic drug treatment, other than a few mild ones
- Alcohol or tobacco use, or substance abuse in pregnancy
This trial only enrols pregnant participants. The registry sentence this rests on: Singleton pregnancy

Noninvasive Evaluation of Fetal Hyperinsulinemia With Ultrasound Radiomics
The goal of this observational study is to compare fetal liver ultrasound radiomics between pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes and healthy controls.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Are fetal liver ultrasound radiomic features reproducible? * Does fetal liver ultrasound radiomics differ between pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes and healthy controls?
Participants will undergo ultrasound examination to collect ultrasound data for the analyses.
Inclusion: Age between 18-45 years; Capable to give an informed consent; Singleton pregnancy; Planning to deliver in Turku University Hospital; Maternal BMI < 40; Gestational age should be confirmed by first trimester ultrasound; Normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 gestational weeks in controls.
Exclusion: Verified fetal infection (e.g. cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma, hepatitis B and C), excluding bacterial infection due to intrapartum chorioamnionitis; Placenta accreta spectrum disorder; Major maternal medical condition requiring systemic pharmacological treatment, other than non-severe hypertension, hypothyroidism, asthma, mild psychiatric disorders, etc; Major fetal chromosomal, genetic, or structural anomaly; Fetal growth restriction, or birth weight < 10th centile; Birth weight > 90th centile or polyhydramnios in the controls; Non-reassuring fetal status requiring immediate treatment, or intrauterine fetal demise; Alcohol or tobacco use, or substance abuse in pregnancy.
