Death and severe morbidity in isolated periviable small‐for‐gestational‐age fetuses

Abstract: Objective This study aims to predict perinatal death or severe sequelae in isolated small‐for‐gestational‐age fetuses, diagnosed at a periviable gestational age, based on ultrasound and Doppler parameters at diagnosis. Design Observational study. Setting A tertiary perinatal centre. Population A cohort of singleton non‐malformed fetuses suspected to be small for gestational age (estimated fetal weight, EFW, <10th centile) diagnosed at 22.0–25.6 weeks of gestation. The following parameters were recorded at diag… Show more

“…Finally, we analysed candidate predictors using multivariate methods, which may explain why uterine Doppler did not maintain an independent association, meaning it was not retained in the final model. For instance, in the series by Li et al, 1 of the 24 cases with abnormal umbilical artery Doppler, 82% also had abnormal uterine Doppler. We agree that the maternal levels of angiogenic factors, not available in our retrospective series, may have improved the prediction capacity of our models.…”

“…3 Another problematic issue is equating association with prediction (which was the aim of our study). As an example, in Li et al, 1 the detection rate of abnormal uterine Doppler for NICU admission was 61% (65/107) but with a 42% (225/538) rate of false positives. Finally, we analysed candidate predictors using multivariate methods, which may explain why uterine Doppler did not maintain an independent association, meaning it was not retained in the final model.…”

“…PI centiles were obtained using a free online calculator (http:// medicinafetalbarcelona.org/calc/) based on the Doppler charts of Arduini and Rizzo 22 , Hecher et al 23 and Baschat and Gembruch 24 . For the predictive purposes of this study, altered Doppler was defined as absent/reversed UA flow and impaired MCA-PI (< 5 th centile) since this combination of parameters has recently shown the best association with perinatal complications in eoFGR, greater than that of uterine artery-PI and DV-PI 8 .…”
