About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Fetal liver ultrasound texture

Fetal liver ultrasound texture is the collection of radiomic features that are extracted from the fetal liver ultrasound picture. The ultrasound pictures are acquired using transabdominal ultrasound. The radiomic features are extracted using conventional radiomics libraries e.g. pyradiomics.

Time frame
34+0 - 34+6 weeks of gestation

Secondary outcomes

1

Birth weight in grams

Birth weight in grams as routinely measured after birth.

Time frame
After delivery, up to 24 hours
2

Birth weight centile

Birth weight adjusted for gestational age, fetal sex, and maternal parity.

Time frame
After delivery, up to 24 hours
3

Large for gestational age (LGA)

Birth weight above 90th centile

Time frame
After delivery, up to 24 hours
4

Interventricular septum (IVS) width

Fetal cardiac interventricular septum (IVS) width, measured at 34 gestational weeks

Time frame
34+0 - 34+6 weeks of gestation
