5.3.3 Macrosomia<br />

One hundred and t<strong>we</strong>nty n<strong>in</strong>e babies had documented antenatal evidence of macrosomia (<strong>the</strong> guidance<br />

given to panels was evidence of fetal size greater than <strong>the</strong> 90th centile for gestational age). Forty one<br />

percent (53/129) of <strong>the</strong>se babies had a poor outcome; this was similar to <strong>the</strong> proportion (50%, 222/442) of<br />

all babies <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> enquiry hav<strong>in</strong>g a poor outcome. There was a slightly greater proportion of type 1 diabetes<br />

and White ethnicity <strong>in</strong> women whose babies had antenatal evidence of macrosomia comp<strong>are</strong>d to all women<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> enquiry sample, but this did not reach significance (p=0.13 and p=0.08 respectively) (table 5.5).<br />
