Fetal Pulmonary Artery Acceleration to Ejection Time Ratio (PATET) in the Prediction of Subsequent Development of Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)

Kayseri Education and Research Hospital115 enrolled

Overview

Fetal PATET ratio evaluation to predict neonatal RDS

115 patients were enrolled in this study.Population was recruited from singleton pregnancies beyond 27 weeks of gestation.All participants underwent a ultrasound examination to measure fetal pulmonary artery acceleration to ejection time ratio (PATET) by a single experienced clinician. After the delivery respiratory distress diagnosis made by a pediatrician who were blinded the doppler waveform measurements.Following the diagnosis, neonates divided into 2 groups as RDS (+) and RDS (-). In addition of RDS diagnosis, neonatal features like 1st and 5th minute APGAR scores, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission and duration in NICU were also recorded. Afterwards all parameters were statistically analyzed if there is any significant differences between those two groups.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Measurement of fetal pulmonary acceleration time to ejection time ratio via ultrasonography in the 115 pregnant women between 27 to 37 weeks of gestation for prediction of respiratory distress syndrome

The aim of this study is to obtain the effectiveness of fetal pulmonary artery acceleration time to ejection time ratio in fetal lung maturity evaluation
