胎儿生长受限(FGR)是一种常见的妊娠并发症,是胎儿和新生儿发病率和死亡率的重要因素。主要是由于缺乏有效的筛查,预防,和管理政策。
这项研究的目的是回顾和比较最近发表的关于FGR并发妊娠管理的有影响力的指南。
■对美国妇产科医师学会(ACOG)指南的描述性审查,母胎医学学会,国际妇产科联合会,国际妇产科超声学会,皇家妇产科学院,加拿大妇产科医师协会(SOGC),澳大利亚和新西兰围产期协会,爱尔兰皇家内科医学院,法国妇科医生和妇产科学院(FCGO),德国妇产科学会对FGR进行了研究。
■关于FGR和小于胎龄胎儿的定义,诊断标准,以及检测先天性感染的需要。相反,关于FGR早期普遍风险分层对于相应修改监测方案的重要性,审查的指南达成了总体共识.低风险妊娠应通过连续的联合基底高度测量进行一致评估,而高危人群需要加强超声监测。FGR诊断后,所有医学会都同意需要脐动脉多普勒评估来进一步指导管理,ACOG还建议进行羊水容量评估,SOGC,澳大利亚和新西兰围产期协会,FCGO,和德国妇产科学会。在早期的情况下,严重的FGR或FGR伴有结构异常,ACOG,母胎医学学会,国际妇产科联合会,皇家妇产科学院,SOGC,FCGO支持产前诊断测试的性能。在最佳的时间和交付模式上也存在一致的协议,分娩期间持续胎心率监测的重要性,分娩后需要对胎盘进行组织病理学检查。另一方面,关于胎儿生长频率和多普勒测速评估的指南缺乏一致性,尽管大多数接受审查的医学协会建议平均间隔为2周,当检测到脐动脉异常时,减少到每周或更少。此外,糖皮质激素和硫酸镁给药的适当时机存在差异,以及服用阿司匹林作为预防措施。戒烟,酒精消费,和非法药物使用被建议作为预防措施,以减少FGR的发生率。
胎儿生长受限是与许多不良产前和产后事件相关的临床实体。但是目前,除了分娩之外,它没有明确的治疗方法。因此,制定统一的国际议定书,以便早日承认,充分的监视,生长受限胎儿的最佳管理对于安全指导临床实践似乎至关重要,从而改善此类妊娠的围产期结局。
UNASSIGNED: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a common pregnancy complication and a significant contributor of fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, mainly due to the lack of effective screening, prevention, and management policies.
UNASSIGNED: The aim of this study was to review and compare the most recently published influential
guidelines on the management of pregnancies complicated by FGR.
UNASSIGNED: A descriptive review of
guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC), the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand, the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland, the French College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (FCGO), and the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics on FGR was carried out.
UNASSIGNED: Several discrepancies were identified regarding the definition of FGR and small-for-gestational-age fetuses, the diagnostic criteria, and the need of testing for congenital infections. On the contrary, there is an overall agreement among the reviewed
guidelines regarding the importance of early universal risk stratification for FGR to accordingly modify the surveillance protocols. Low-risk pregnancies should unanimously be evaluated by serial symphysis fundal height measurement, whereas the high-risk ones warrant increased sonographic surveillance. Following FGR diagnosis, all medical societies agree that umbilical artery Doppler assessment is required to further guide management, whereas amniotic fluid volume evaluation is also recommended by the ACOG, the SOGC, the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand, the FCGO, and the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics. In case of early, severe FGR or FGR accompanied by structural abnormalities, the ACOG, the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the SOGC, and the FCGO support the performance of prenatal diagnostic testing. Consistent protocols also exist on the optimal timing and mode of delivery, the importance of continuous fetal heart rate monitoring during labor, and the need for histopathological examination of the placenta after delivery. On the other hand,
guidelines concerning the frequency of fetal growth and Doppler velocimetry evaluation lack uniformity, although most of the reviewed medical societies recommend an average interval of 2 weeks, reduced to weekly or less when umbilical artery abnormalities are detected. Moreover, there is a discrepancy on the appropriate timing for corticosteroids and magnesium sulfate administration, as well as the administration of
aspirin as a preventive measure. Cessation of smoking, alcohol consumption, and illicit drug use are proposed as preventive measures to reduce the incidence of FGR.
UNASSIGNED: Fetal growth restriction is a clinical entity associated with numerous adverse antenatal and postnatal events, but currently, it has no definitive cure apart from delivery. Thus, the development of uniform international protocols for the early recognition, the adequate surveillance, and the optimal management of growth-restricted fetuses seem of paramount importance to safely guide clinical practice, thereby improving perinatal outcomes of such pregnancies.
