Longitudinal reference ranges for fetal ultrasound biometry in twin pregnancies
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to establish longitudinal reference ranges for fetal ultrasound biometry measurements and growth parameters in twin pregnancies. METHOD A total of 200 uncomplicated twin pregnancies before 21 weeks of gestation were recruited for this prospective, longitudinal study. Women who abandoned follow-up, pregnancies with unknown outcomes or pregnancies with co...
متن کاملFetal growth according to different reference ranges in twin pregnancies with placental insufficiency
The aim of this study was to compare different fetal growth curves in twin pregnancies with severe placental insufficiency. A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 47 twin pregnancies with absent or reverse end diastolic flow in the umbilical artery of one fetus was performed. Pregnancies with major fetal abnormalities, twin-twin transfusion or three or more fetuses were not included. The e...
متن کاملReference ranges for Doppler assessment of uterine artery resistance and pulsatility indices in dichorionic twin pregnancies.
OBJECTIVES To construct reference ranges of uterine artery Doppler parameters against gestation in twin pregnancies and to present charts of the pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) for clinical use. METHODS This was an observational study of the uterine circulation in 557 women with dichorionic twin pregnancies at 17-38 weeks' gestation. Uterine artery measurements were performed...
متن کاملShould serial fetal biometry be used in all pregnancies?
Serial measurements of an infant’s height, weight, and head circumference to monitor growth have been a cornerstone of routine paediatric care. This practice is based on the premise that detection of growth disorders, such as failure to thrive, can be manifestations of malnutrition, metabolic and genetic disorders, or infection and can be treated. The frequency with which infant growth is monit...
متن کاملUltrasound Biometry and Fetal Growth Restriction
With the ascendancy of biophysical assessment with Doppler velocimetry, and the establishment of routine scan dating in early pregnancy, there needs to be a radical re-think of the role of ultrasound biometry in the de®nition and assessment of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Doppler ̄ow velocimetry of the umbilical artery has proven its value in de®ning the FGR fetus. It is more useful than card...
