The Role of Doppler Waveforms measurements of the Fetal Main Pulmonary Artery in the Prediction of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome in diabetic pregnancies
The Role of Doppler Waveforms measurements of the Fetal Main Pulmonary Artery in the Prediction of Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome in diabetic pregnancies Abstract: Objective: To determine the role of fetal pulmonary artery Doppler indices in predicting respiratory distress syndrome in infants of diabetic mothers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the obstetrics and gynecology department , PortSaid Maternity Hospital from February 2022 to March 2023 . We recruited diabetic mothers according to predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible women were subjected to complete history taking and examination. Fetal pulmonary artery doppler was done before delivery.
Results: This prospective study included 103 pregnant diabetic women, classified into two groups: group (1) included 50 diabetic women with preterm labor, and group (2) included 53 women with full-term gestation. The incidence of RDS in the preterm group (70%) was a statistically highly significant difference (p <0.001) in comparison with the full-term group (15.1%). Ultrasonographic Doppler parameters showed statistically significant difference (p <0.01) in AT, AT/ET, PSV, mean velocity, and Resistive Index , while ET and Pulsatility index showed statistically non-significant difference (p >0.05) in comparison between the two studied groups. The regression line showed a highly significant positive correlation between AT and RDS in both groups (r= 0.8678, P = 0.0001).
Conclusion: Fetal main pulmonary artery Doppler studies predicted the occurrence of neonatal RDS.
