Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the fetal modified (mod)-myocardial performance index (MPI) for fetal cardiac function in placenta percreta (PPC) pregnancies with placenta previa (PP) and assess neonatal outcomes.
Materials and methods: This study included 104 pregnant women: 52 with PPC and 52 as the control group. Mod-MPI measurements and neonatal outcomes were evaluated in all cases.
Results: The PPC group had a significantly lower left ejection time (p = 0.044) and significantly higher mod-MPI (p = 0.001) than the control group. The optimal mod-MPI predictive cut-off value at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission in the PPC group was 0.53 with 53.8% specificity and 88.5% sensitivity (p = 0.019). The optimal mod-MPI predictive cut-off value at the 5th APGAR score below 7 in the PPC group was 0.55 with a specificity of 67.7% and a sensitivity of 76.2% (p = 0.016).
Conclusion: Fetal MPI was higher in pregnant women with PPC compared to the control group. Among the PPC cases, those with MPI above a certain predictive level showed more frequent NICU admissions and lower APGAR scores.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
