“…The cord was clamped and cut straight at 5 cm from the fetal insertion right after birth, being careful not to milk or stretch the chord, which could impair the UCI ( 19 ). Five cm was added to the length of each cord to account for the portion of the cord that remained attached to the fetal umbilicus ( 20 ). From its insertion into the placenta up to the neonatal clamp, the UC's length and diameter were measured against a non-elastic tape graduated in cm.…”

Background No study has been conducted to specifically demonstrate the relationship between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) status, inflammatory factors, and postnatal umbilical coiling index (pUCI). Understanding this relationship could help select the best interventions to save the fetus. To evaluate the effects of maternal venous and umbilical cord blood levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on pUCI in GDM and non-GDM groups. Methods This prospective observational study included 40 participants in each of the GDM and non-GDM groups, matched for maternal age, ethnicity, and parity. The GDM diagnosis was confirmed by 24 to 28 weeks of gestation (WOG) and a 2-step strategy. The covariates of interest were maternal hs-CRP and TNF-α, measured at 37 to 40 WOG, and their UC analogous was measured during delivery. The gross morphologies were assessed immediately after delivery. The UC coiling was quantitatively assessed by the pUCI. To compare the GDM and non-GDM groups, the t test and the Mann-Whitney test were used for normal and non-normal variables, respectively. Results There was not a significant difference in hs-CRP and TNF-a levels in maternal venous blood or UC blood between the GDM and non-GDM groups. The mean (SD) of pUCI in the GDM and non-GDM groups were 0.28 (0.15) and 0.24 (0.21) ( P = 0.441), respectively. In the GDM group, none of the 4 covariates of interest had significant effects on the UCI. Among the non-GDM participants, merely the UC hs-CRP had a direct association with the pUCI, with a Pearson correlation of 0.54 ( P = 0.001). Impacts of hs-CRP and TNF-α on the pUCI were assessed using Poisson regression models and no significant findings were detected (95% CI, 0.999-1.001, for all parameters). Conclusion In the GDM group, no apparent association was observed between inflammatory factors and pUCI, although a direct association was detected between UC hs-CRP and pUCI in the non-GDM.
