Abstract

Background: The International Fetal Medicine and Surgery Society (IFMSS) was founded a little over 40 years ago, to offer a collegial, interdisciplinary forum for fetal specialists worldwide. Its inclusive culture has allowed innovations, successes, and failures to be reported freely. The present report examines progress in the field of fetal medicine, as reflected by the diversity and frequency of IFMSS presentations. We also test the hypothesis that throughout the decades, IFMSS has remained at the forefront of new developments in fetal diagnosis and therapy.

Summary: The scientific programs of annual conferences were reviewed for title and subject and assigned one or more keywords, and a single category (resulting in absolute, rather than relative incidences of topics). Select procedures covered at IFMSS meetings were plotted over time against comparable queries in PubMed. 5,467 presentations were reviewed and categorized. Keywords were plotted as a heatmap, showing a gradual shift from mostly observational to increasingly invasive studies. The relative interest of particular topics varied widely over the years, from bladder obstruction and renal pathology in early meetings, to complicated twin gestations, to fetal surgery for diaphragmatic hernia and myelomeningocele. Reports on the treatment of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, fetal surgery for myelomeningocele and stem cell therapy preceded similar publications in the world literature by several years.

Key messages: In its 40-year history, IFMSS has continued to offer an interdisciplinary forum for fetal medicine specialists, even as the topics of interests have evolved with the pace of technology, long-term follow-up, and new scientific discoveries.

四十岁的 IFMSS:你在这里先听到的。
简介:国际胎儿医学与外科学会(International Fetal Medicine and Surgery Society,IFMSS)成立于1984年,旨在为全世界的胎儿专家提供一个跨学科的学术论坛,让创新、成功和失败的案例得以自由报道。在此,我们将从 IFMSS 发言的多样性和频率来考察胎儿医学的进展。我们还检验了 IFMSS 始终站在该领域新发展前沿的假设:我们对年度会议的科学计划进行了标题和主题审查,并指定了一个或多个关键词和一个类别。将 IFMSS 会议涉及的部分程序与 PubMed 中的可比查询进行对比:结果:共审查并分类了 5,467 篇演讲。关键词被绘制成一张热图,从大部分观察性研究到越来越多的侵入性研究。关注的主题差异很大,从早期会议的肾脏病理学,到双胞胎输血综合征(TTTS)、膈疝和脊髓膜膨出的胎儿手术。关于TTTS、骨髓膜缺失修复和干细胞疗法的报告比世界文献中类似文章的发表时间要早数年:在其 40 年的历史中,IFMSS 为胎儿专家提供了一个跨学科的论坛,即使感兴趣的话题随着技术、长期随访和新科学发现的步伐而不断发展。
