There is emerging evidence that Indigenous women with diabetes (DM) in pregnancy and their offspring have poorer health outcomes compared to the non-Indigenous population. Objectives To determine the performance of obstetrical ultrasound amongst Indigenous women with pre-gestational DM. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of ultrasound (US) data from pregnancies within the Next Generation longitudinal cohort. The Next Generation Study is an Indigenous birth cohort of children born to mothers with pre-gestational type 2 DM. Antenatal variables, perinatal outcomes, and US information from stored reports and images were collected. Antenatal ultrasound diagnoses were correlated to postnatal findings by a blinded observer and descriptive statistics used to analyze outcomes. McNemar’s and paired t-tests were further used to compare outcomes and evaluate US performance in this high-risk cohort.
