A new prognostic scale for intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) improved delivery decisions, significantly reducing neurological issues and mortality in newborns. This tool aids in managing high-risk pregnancies.

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Fetal Development
  • Neonatal Neurology

Background:

  • Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) poses significant risks for perinatal complications.
  • Accurate prognostication of IUGR is crucial for optimizing delivery strategies and improving neonatal outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a prognostic scale for pregnancies complicated by IUGR.
  • To evaluate the scale's effectiveness in optimizing delivery methods and reducing perinatal complications.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive prognostic scale was developed using 19 fetometric, dopplerometric, and pulsometric parameters.
  • 130 fetuses with IUGR were prospectively classified into risk groups, with delivery recommendations based on the scale.
  • Newborns were assessed via neurosonography, comparing prospective and retrospective cohorts.

Main Results:

  • The scale identified medium and high-risk groups, leading to increased C-section rates (27% and 12%).
  • Significant reductions were observed in ventriculomegaly (9%), brain edema (27%), hemorrhages (12%), and pathological vascular pulsation (21%).
  • Perinatal mortality decreased by 4% in the prospective group.

Conclusions:

  • The developed IUGR prognostic scale effectively optimizes the method of delivery.
  • Implementation of the scale led to decreased rates of neurological morbidity and mortality in newborns with IUGR.
