Monochorionic-specific association between first-trimester serum ferritin and gestational diabetes in twin pregnancies: a retrospective cohort study
Elevated SF levels in early pregnancy are independently associated with a higher risk of GDM in MCDA twin pregnancies and may serve as a potential early biomarker for GDM prediction. In contrast, no significant association was found in DCDA pregnancies, indicating that the predictive value of SF may differ by chorionicity. Further studies are warranted to confirm these findings and investigate the underlying mechanisms.
