Abstract

Background: There are limitations to predicting perinatal asphyxia, as current tools rely almost entirely on fetal cardiotocography (CTG). The fetal lack of responsiveness scale (FLORS) is a new diagnostic alternative based on the physiological phenomena associated with fetal hypoxia. Objectives: The objective of this study was to develop, validate, and assess the diagnostic accuracy of the FLORS for predicting severe perinatal hypoxia (SPH). Study Design: A two-phase retrospective observational cross-sectional analytical study was conducted. Phase 1 involved the formulation and retrospective validation of the FLORS. A total of 366 fetal CTG records were evaluated twice by seven readers. Phase 2 was a collaborative, retrospective, multicenter diagnostic test study that included 37 SPH and 366 non-SPH cases. Results: Phase 1: A numeric, physiology-based scale was developed and refined based on expert opinions. The median time to apply the scale per reading was 38 s. Cronbach's alpha, which is a reliability measure, was significant (p = 0.784). The kappa index for test-retest agreement was moderate to reasonable, with a median value of 0.642. For interobserver agreement, the kappa index per variable was as follows: baseline, 0.669; accelerations, 0.658; variability, 0.467; late/variable decelerations, 0.638; slow response decelerations, 0.617; and trend to change, 0.423. Phase 2, including 37 SPH and 366 non-SPH cases, showed a sensitivity of 62.2% and specificity of 75.4% for the 2-point score, whereas the 3-point score had a sensitivity of 35.1% and specificity of 89.9%. The area under the curve (AUC) was significant at 0.73 (CI 0.645-0.818). Conclusions: FLORS demonstrated significant internal consistency and observer agreement, with a promising sensitivity-specificity balance and significant AUC. Further research is needed to assess its impact on perinatal hypoxia and cesarean delivery.

用于诊断围产期严重缺氧的胎儿无反应量表的开发、验证和诊断准确性。
背景:由于目前的工具几乎完全依赖于胎儿心动图(CTG),因此预测围产期窒息存在局限性。胎儿缺氧反应量表(FLORS)是一种基于胎儿缺氧相关生理现象的新诊断方法。研究目的本研究旨在开发、验证和评估 FLORS 预测围产期严重缺氧(SPH)的诊断准确性。研究设计:分两个阶段进行回顾性观察横断面分析研究。第一阶段包括制定和回顾性验证 FLORS。共有 7 位读者对 366 份胎儿 CTG 记录进行了两次评估。第二阶段是一项合作性、回顾性、多中心诊断测试研究,包括 37 例 SPH 和 366 例非 SPH 病例。结果:第 1 阶段:根据专家意见制定并完善了基于生理学的数字量表。每次读数应用量表的中位时间为 38 秒。信度指标 Cronbach's alpha 具有显著性(p = 0.784)。测试-重复测试一致性的卡帕指数为中等至合理水平,中值为 0.642。在观察者之间的一致性方面,每个变量的卡帕指数如下:基线,0.669;加速度,0.658;可变性,0.467;晚期/可变减速,0.638;慢反应减速,0.617;变化趋势,0.423。第二阶段包括 37 例 SPH 和 366 例非 SPH 病例,结果显示 2 点评分的灵敏度为 62.2%,特异性为 75.4%,而 3 点评分的灵敏度为 35.1%,特异性为 89.9%。曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.73(CI 0.645-0.818),差异显著。结论:FLORSFLORS显示出明显的内部一致性和观察者一致性,具有良好的敏感性-特异性平衡和显著的AUC。需要进一步研究以评估其对围产期缺氧和剖宫产的影响。
