Fetal binocular distance showed a statistically significant difference between Moroccan and other ethnic groups. However, this difference is clinically insignificant, meaning no ethnic-specific reference charts are needed.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Prenatal diagnostics
  • Anthropometry

Background:

  • Fetal biometry is crucial for assessing gestational age and fetal well-being.
  • Understanding ethnic variations in fetal measurements can refine diagnostic accuracy.
  • Previous studies have explored ethnic differences in fetal growth parameters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate interethnic variations in fetal binocular distance.
  • To determine if ethnicity necessitates separate reference charts for fetal binocular distance.
  • To compare fetal binocular distance among Belgian, Turkish, and Moroccan populations.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cross-sectional study design.
  • Measurement of fetal binocular distance in 246 pregnant women (18-40 weeks gestation).

  • Polynomial regression analysis applied to three ethnic groups: autochthonous Belgian, Turkish, and Moroccan.

    • Main Results:

    • A statistically significant difference in fetal binocular distance was observed between Moroccan and autochthonous Belgian/Turkish fetuses (p=0.047).
    • The magnitude of this difference was minimal and lacked clinical relevance.
    • The study included 171 autochthonous Belgian, 31 Turkish, and 44 Moroccan women.

    Conclusions:

    • A statistically significant, yet clinically irrelevant, difference in fetal binocular distance exists between Moroccan and other ethnic groups.
    • Current reference charts for fetal binocular distance do not require ethnic-specific adjustments for these populations.
    • Standardized charts remain appropriate for assessing fetal binocular distance across Belgian, Turkish, and Moroccan ethnicities.
