- Fetal Growth Pattern and Prediction of Low Birth Weight in Gastroschisis(2015) CENTOFANTI, Sandra F.; BRIZOT, Maria de Lourdes; LIAO, Adolfo W.; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.; ZUGAIB, MarceloObjectives: To examine growth patterns and predictions of low birth weight in gastroschisis fetuses. Methods: This is a retrospective study of isolated fetal gastroschisis before week 24. Ultrasound fetal biometric parameters - head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length, HC/AC ratio and estimated fetal weight (EFW) - were plotted against normal growth charts. The percentage difference in mean values between normal and gastroschisis fetuses was determined. The growth deficit for each ultrasound parameter was calculated for the fetuses with 1 examination in each designated period (period I: weeks 20-25(+6); period II: weeks 26-31(+6); period III: from week 32 until term). For low birth weight prediction, measurements below the 10th percentile in periods I and II were tested. Results: Seventy pregnancies were examined. For all fetal parameters, the mean measurements were lower in fetuses with gastroschisis (p < 0.005). The EFW revealed an increased growth deficit between the periods (p = 0.030). HC was predictive of low birth weight in period II (OR = 6.07; sensitivity = 70.8%; specificity = 71.4%). Conclusions: Fetuses with gastroschisis present a reduced growth pattern, and it appears that no growth recovery occurs after the growth restriction has been established. Between week 26 and week 31(+6), an HC measurement below the 10th percentile is associated with an increased risk of low birth weight. (C) 2015 S. Karger AG, Basel
- Fetal-Maternal Hemorrhage in First-Trimester Intrauterine Hematoma(2021) NARCISO, Thaisa A. R. M.; HOSHIDA, Mara S.; COSTA, Priscilla R.; NIQUIRILO, Andrea; BIANCOLIN, Sckarlet E.; LIN, Lawrence H.; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.; BRIZOT, Maria L.Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the frequency and percentage of fetal hemoglobin (HbF%) by flow cytometry of (1) first-trimester asymptomatic patients with intrauterine hematoma (IUH), (2) first-trimester pregnant patients with vaginal bleeding (VB), and (3) first-trimester asymptomatic pregnant women without hematoma. Methods: Prospective study involving pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy. Patients with ultrasound findings of asymptomatic hematoma and with VB were paired with asymptomatic pregnant women of same gestational age without hematoma (control group [CG]). Maternal blood HbF% was evaluated by flow cytometry. The groups were compared in terms of circulating fetal hemoglobin and HbF%. Results: Sixty-six patients were selected, 22 with hematoma, 17 with bleeding, and 27 in the CG. Fetal hemoglobin was detected in 15 patients with hematoma (68.2%) and 13 with bleeding (76.5%) and in 20 of the control (74.1%) (p = 0.830). The mean HbF% of each group was 0.054, 0.012, and 0.042 for hematoma, bleeding, and control, respectively, and differences were not significant (p = 0.141). There was a moderate negative correlation between the volume of hematoma and HbF% (r(Spearman) = -0.527; p = 0.012). Conclusions: The fetal-maternal hemorrhage expressed by Hbf% in first-trimester pregnancies did not seem to differ between patients with and without ultrasound findings of IUH.
- Three-dimensional Ultrasound Evaluation of Lung Volume in Fetuses with Abdominal Wall Defect(2023) NISHIE, Estela Naomi; OSMUNDO-JUNIOR, Gilmar de Souza; MOHAMED, Samirah Hosney Mahmoud; TANNURI, Ana Cristina Aoun; GIBELLI, Maria Augusta Bento Cicaroni; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; PERES, Stela Verzinhasse; FRANCISCO, Rossana Pulcineli Vieira; BRIZOT, Maria de LourdesIntroduction: Abdominal wall defects (AWD) interfere with postnatal respiratory parameters. We aimed to evaluate lung volume (LV) in fetuses with AWD using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US) and to correlate AWD with the type (omphalocele and gastroschisis) and size of the defect and neonatal morbidity and mortality.Methods: This prospective study included 72 pregnant women with fetuses with AWD and a gestational age <25 weeks. Abdominal volume, 3D US LV, and herniated volume were acquired every 4 weeks up to 33 weeks. LV was compared with normal reference curves and correlated with abdominal and herniated volumes.Results: Omphalocele (p<0.001) and gastroschisis (p<0.001) fetuses had smaller LV than did normal fetuses. LV was positively correlated with abdominal volume (omphalocele, r=0.86; gastroschisis, r=0.88), whereas LV was negatively correlated with omphalocele-herniated volume/abdominal volume (p<0.001, r= -0.51). LV was smaller in omphalocele fetuses that died (p=0.002), were intubated (p=0.02), or had secondary closure (p<0.001). In gastroschisis, a smaller LV was observed in fetuses discharged using oxygen (p=0.002).Discussion/Conclusion: Fetuses with AWD had smaller 3D LV than normal fetuses. Fetal abdominal volume was inversely correlated with LV. In omphalocele fetuses, a smaller LV was associated with neonatal mortality and morbidity.
- Should We Measure Fetal Omphalocele Diameter for Prediction of Perinatal Outcome?(2014) KIYOHARA, Marina Y.; BRIZOT, Maria L.; LIAO, Adolfo W.; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.; TANNURI, Ana C. A.; KREBS, Vera L. J.; ZUGAIB, MarceloObjective: To evaluate the fetal omphalocele diameter/abdominal circumference ratio (OD/AC) as a predictor of adverse perinatal outcome. Methods: Analysis involving 47 singleton pregnancies with fetal omphalocele, normal karyotype and absence of other major abnormalities. The OD/AC ratio was determined antenatally by ultrasound and the best cutoff for the prediction of neonatal death was determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Additional secondary outcomes included need for oral intubation in the first 24 h of life, two-step surgery or use of synthetic mesh, reoperation, parenteral feeding and need for respiratory assistance >21 days, time to first oral feed, and time to hospital discharge. Results: Fetal OD/AC did not change significantly with gestational age. Postnatal death occurred in 10 (21.3%) cases and the best cutoff for prediction was an OD/AC ratio >= 0.26 In pregnancies with the first ultrasound evaluation performed before 31 weeks' gestation and an OD/AC >= 0.26, the likelihood ratio for needing intubation in the first 24 h of life was 2.6 (95% CI: 1.2-5.7), needing two-step surgery or use of mesh was 4.9 (95% Cl: 1.9-14.4), and postnatal death was 4 (95% Cl: 1.9-7.5). Conclusion: A fetal ultrasound OD/AC ratio >= 0.26 is associated with increased postnatal morbidity and mortality. (C) 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel
- Sonographic Markers in the Prediction of Fetal Complex Gastroschisis(2018) ANDRADE, Walkyria S.; BRIZOT, Maria L.; RODRIGUES, Agatha S.; TANNURI, Ana C.; KREBS, Vera L.; NISHIE, Estela N.; FRANCISCO, Rossana P. V.; ZUGAIB, MarceloObjective: To investigate the ultrasound (US) markers predictive of complex gastroschisis (CG), mortality, and morbidity in fetuses with gastroschisis. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 186 pregnancies with isolated fetal gastroschisis. Eight US markers were analyzed. The predictions and associations of US markers with CG, mortality, and morbidity were assessed. Combinations of US markers predictive of CG were investigated. Results: Extra-abdominal bowel dilatation (EABD), intra-abdominal bowel dilatation (IABD), and polyhydramnios were predictive of CG. EABD between 25 and 28 weeks had a sensitivity of 64%, a specificity of 89%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 56.2%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 91.8%. The predictions of IABD were sensitivity = 26.7%, specificity = 96.7%, PPV = 61.5%, and NPV = 86.8%. The odds ratios for CG in the presence of 1 and 2 US markers, compared with the absence of a US marker, were 18.3 (95% CI, 3.83-87.64) and 73.3 (95% CI, 6.14-876), respectively. Conclusion: US markers predictive of CG were established. The combination of these markers increases the probability of CG. (C) 2017 S. Karger AG, Basel
