Comparison of Diagnostic Value of Nasal Tip Deviation Method and Conventional Ultrasound in Early Fetal Facial Deformities Using Ultrasound Coronal Section of the Brain
Objective:To compare the diagnostic value of nasal tip deviation method and conventional ultrasound in early fetal facial deformities using cranial coronal section.Methods:The research subjects were 120 pregnant women suspected of having fetal facial deformities who underwent physical examinations at our hospital from January 2019 to January 2024.Routine ultrasound and ultrasound coronal section nasal tip deviation were performed,and the results after induced labor and delivery were used as the diagnostic gold standard.The diagnostic results of facial deformities using different diagnostic methods were analyzed,and ROC curves were established to analyze the diagnostic efficacy.Results:52 out of 120 pregnant women suspected of having fetal facial deformities developed facial deformities;The final diagnosis rate of fetal facial deformities using the nasal tip deviation method in the coronal section of the brain by ultrasound was significantly higher than that of conventional ultrasound(P<0.05);The sensitivity and specificity of conventional ultrasound diagnosis(80.25%,91.36%)were lower than those of the nasal tip deviation method in the coronal section of the brain(91.26%,98.63%).Conclusion:In the diagnosis of early fetal facial deformities,conventional ultrasound can achieve clear facial images,but its diagnostic accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity are inferior to the nasal tip deviation method of ultrasound cranial coronal section.This is of great value for improving neonatal quality and pregnancy outcomes.
