The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is a scientific organization that encourages sound clinical practice, high-quality teaching research related to diagnostic imaging women's healthcare. ISUOG Clinical Standards Committee (CSC) has remit develop Practice Guidelines Consensus Statements as educational recommendations provide healthcare practitioners with consensus-based approach, from experts, for imaging. They are intended reflect what considered by...
Abstract Objectives To construct gestational age (GA)‐based reference ranges for the uterine artery (UtA) mean pulsatility index (PI) at 11–41 weeks of pregnancy. Methods A prospective cross‐sectional observational study was carried out 20 consecutive singleton pregnancies each completed week weeks. UtAs were examined by color and pulsed Doppler imaging, PI, as well presence or absence a bilateral protodiastolic notch, recorded. Polynomials fitted means least‐square regression to estimate...
INTRODUCTION These Guidelines aim to describe appropriate assessment of fetal biometry and diagnosis growth disorders. disorders consist mainly restriction (FGR), also referred as intrauterine (IUGR) often associated with small‐for‐gestational age (SGA), large‐for‐gestational (LGA), which may lead macrosomia; both have been a variety adverse maternal perinatal outcomes. Screening for, adequate management of, abnormalities are essential components antenatal care, ultrasound plays key role in...
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 5% to 10% of newborns and is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality in adulthood. The most commonly accepted hypothesis that fetal metabolic programming leads secondarily diseases disease, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension. Our main objective was evaluate the alternative FGR induces primary cardiac changes persist into childhood.Within a cohort fetuses identified life followed up childhood, we randomly selected 80 subjects...
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is defined as the failure of fetus to meet its potential due a pathological factor, most commonly placental dysfunction. Worldwide, FGR leading cause stillbirth, neonatal mortality, and short- long-term morbidity. Ongoing advances in clinical care, especially definitions, diagnosis, management FGR, require efforts effectively translate these changes wide range obstetric care providers. This article highlights agreements based on current research diagnosis areas...
To estimate the value of fetal brain Doppler in predicting risk cesarean delivery for nonreassuring status and neonatal acidosis after labor induction small-for-gestational-age fetuses with normal umbilical artery Doppler.Fetal parameters, including cerebral tissue perfusion measured by fractional moving blood volume, cerebroplacental ratio, middle pulsatility index, were evaluated before a cohort 210 term control participants matched gestational age. The indices to predict delivery, status,...
Green spaces are reported to improve health status, including beneficial effects on pregnancy outcomes. Despite the suggestions of air pollution-related benefits green spaces, there is no available evidence impact greenness personal exposure pollution.We investigated association between surrounding and pollution among pregnant women explore potential mechanisms, if any, behind this association.In total, 65 rounds sampling were carried out for 54 who resided in Barcelona during 2008-2009....
ABSTRACT Objective There are limited, unmatched data reporting low complication rates in pregnant women with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). The aim of this study was to compare COVID‐19‐related outcomes between and non‐pregnant after adjusting for potential risk factors severe outcomes. Methods Data were obtained from the COVID‐19 National Registry Mexico, which is an ongoing prospective cohort people any age clinically suspected acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection...
Abstract Objective To assess the neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years of age children who had been small‐for‐gestational‐age (SGA) term babies with cerebral blood flow redistribution. Methods Perinatal was assessed in a cohort 97 singleton appropriate‐for‐gestational‐age and 125 SGA fetuses normal umbilical artery Doppler, stratified according to presence Neurodevelopmental prospectively by means 24‐month Age & Stage Questionnaire (ASQ). Results Of fetuses, 25 redistribution flow, 100...
To determine the longitudinal trends and rates of conversion normal to abnormal uterine (UtA), umbilical (UA) middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler velocimetry throughout third trimester in late-onset small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetuses.UtA, UA MCA was serially performed a cohort singleton consecutive SGA fetuses with values at diagnosis. The rate evaluated by survival analysis. Longitudinal were modeled means multilevel analysis.A total 616 scans on 171 fetuses. Mean gestational age...
To establish reference values for the first-trimester uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) and to investigate role of UtA Doppler in early prediction hypertensive disorders their associated complications an unselected Mediterranean population.A prospective study including 1091 consecutive singleton pregnancies undergoing routine ultrasound screening at 11-14 weeks gestation was performed. The left right were examined by color pulsed transvaginally. mean PI presence bilateral...
Perinatal mortality and morbidity is markedly increased in intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses. Prenatal identification of IUGR the first step clinical management. For that purpose a uniform definition criteria are required. The etiology multifactorial whenever possible it should be assessed. When cause placental origin, to identify affected major complication chronic fetal hypoxemia. By monitoring changes vital functions thus improve both management outcome. timing delivery...
