Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Perinatology

Background:

  • The amniochorionic membrane plays a crucial role in pregnancy.
  • Accurate measurement of its postpartal thickness is important for understanding its role and potential clinical implications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the postpartal thickness of the amniochorionic membrane using high-frequency ultrasound.
  • To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of ultrasound measurements by comparing them with histological data.
  • To investigate correlations between membrane thickness and maternal/neonatal parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study involving 28 postpartal measurements using 20 MHz ultrasound.
  • Comparison of ultrasound measurements with histological sections using linear regression analysis.

  • Statistical correlation analysis between membrane thickness and maternal (gestational age, patient age, parity) and neonatal (birth size/weight, sex, placental weight, Apgar scores) parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • The mean postpartal amniochorionic membrane thickness was 0.83 +/- 0.11 mm.
    • High-frequency ultrasound demonstrated high reliability with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.96 (p < 0.0001) compared to histology.
    • Statistically significant correlations were found between membrane thickness and maternal parity (r = 0.485, p < 0.05) and 5-minute Apgar scores (r = 0.485, p < 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • High-frequency ultrasound is an objective and reliable method for measuring postpartal amniochorionic membrane thickness.
    • This ultrasonographic technique may enhance prenatal diagnostics.
    • Further research can explore the clinical significance of membrane thickness variations.
