Diagnostic Value of Ultrasound Detection of Umbilical Artery Blood Flow Parameters for Fetal Growth Restriction in Late Pregnancy
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound detection of umbilical artery blood flow parameters for fetal growth restriction(FGR)in late pregnancy.Method:A total of 634 pregnant women who underwent prenatal examination in Putian Children's Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects,all selected pregnant women were underwent ultrasound examination,all of which were completed by the same experienced ultrasound physician.634 pregnant women were divided into FGR group and normal development group based on clinical diagnostic results,the levels of various umbilical artery hemodynamic parameters,including resistance index(RI),pulsatility index(PI),peak systolic/diastolic(S/D),minimum blood flow velocity(Min),mean time blood flow velocity(TAV),and maximum blood flow velocity(Max)were compared between two groups.In addition,using clinical diagnostic results as a reference,the clinical value of ultrasound examination in diagnosing FGR was analyzed.Result:Among the 634 cases of pregnant women confirmed by clinical,there were 38 cases of FGR,accounting for 5.99%(38/634),596 cases of pregnant women check normal fetal development,accounting for 94.01%(596/634).The Min(0.13±0.05),Max(0.42±0.08)and TAV(0.25±0.06)of umbilical artery in FGR group were lower than(0.21±0.06),(0.53±0.12)and(0.34±0.08)in normal development group,PI(1.12±0.21),RI(0.67±0.11)and S/D(3.11±0.73)were higher than(0.91±0.14),(0.54±0.07)and(2.42±0.45)in normal development group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The sensitivity of ultrasound examination for diagnosing FGR was 94.74%(36/38),specificity was 98.99%(590/596),accuracy was 98.74%(626/634),positive predictive value was 85.71%(36/42),and negative predictive value was 99.66%(590/592).Conclusion:Ultrasound detection of umbilical artery blood flow parameters has high reference value for diagnosing FGR,with high diagnostic accuracy and can improve diagnostic efficiency.
