Evaluation of the relationship between placental stiffness measured by shear wave elastography and perinatal outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Placental stiffness has increased in the GDM-A2 group when compared to the GDM-A1 and LRP groups. We also observed a strong positive correlation between HbA1c, fasting glucose values, and increased elasticity values in diabetic patients with metabolic dysregulation that may have clinical value.
