Prediction of Fetal Ventricular Septal Defect by Cardiac Ultrasound at 23-27 Weeks of Prenatal Pregnancy
Objective To explore predictive effect of different section combinations of cardiac ultrasound on fetal ventricular septal defect during 23-27 weeks of pregnancy.Methods This was a prospective study,which including 873 pregnant women at 23 to 27 weeks gestation who underwent prenatal examination in Quanzhou Guangqian Hospital from January 2021 to April 2024 were selected as subjects.There were 7 patients with ventricular septal defect(including 1 missed diagnosis)and 866 patients without ventricular septal defect.Four chamber view(4CA),three vessels and trachea view(3VT),left ventricular outflow tract(LVOT),right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT),extended section of aortic arch/ductus arteriosus arch(A)and section of superior and inferior vena cava(V)were ultrasonically diagnosed to compare the differences between separate detection and combined diagnosis.Results By comparing image acquisition rates of different sections,image acquisition rates from high to low were 4CV(99.66%),3VT(99.08%),LVOT(98.63%),RVOT(98.51%),A(98.28%)and V(97.48%)sections.Through the detection consistency analysis,the consistency of 4CV,3VT,LVOT,RVOT,A and V sections and the combined detection were all higher(P<0.05),and the consistency of the combined detection was higher than that of the separate detection of each section.Through joint detection and individual detection analysis,the accuracy,sensitivity,and specificity of individual and joint detection of 4CV,3VT,LVOT,RVOT,A,and V sections,the difference were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Through the diagnosis of different sections of ultrasound,the structure,shape and relationship between fetal ventricular septal defect and other structures could be fully understood,which could help doctors make accurate diagnosis and make appropriate treatment plan.
