1st trimester assessment of aneuploidy

• US markers

– NT, NB, Facial angle

– Doppler of DV (a-wave)*

– Doppler of tricuspid valve*

– Intra-cranial translucency (IT)*– Intra-cranial translucency (IT)*

• Biochemical markers

– Fß-hCG and PAPP-A

• Non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT)

– Decision of invasive test in the intermediate risk (<1/10-1/1000 followed CFTS)


• Oral presentations

– Screening for adverse pregnancy outcomes at 12ws

(Audibert, Francois)

– Combined first trimester biochemistry, NIPT or both?


– Combined first trimester biochemistry, NIPT or both?

(Johnson, Jo-An)

– Sequencing for NIPT: techniques, technologies,

applications and limitations (Johnson, Jo-An)

– First trimester screening for neural tube defect (Meaghen,

Simon)


1st trimester assessment of growth and Doppler

• Crown-rump length measurement

• Increased Uterine artery Doppler indices (PI

> 90th or 95th centile) associated with

– Reduced fetal movement

– Superimposed pre-eclampsia– Superimposed pre-eclampsia

– SGA < 10th centile

– SGA < 3rd centile

– Still birth

• Low PAPP-A level (<0.3 MoM) or both of

PAPP-A and free ß-hCG (<0.5MoM)

– related to poor placentation (low birth weight and still birth)



– Assessment of crown-rump length measurement variability (McLennan, Andrew)

– Clinical evaluation of a first trimester algorithm predicting the risk of

hypertension disease of pregnancy (Park, Felicity)

– First trimester screening of pregnancy complication (Hyett, Jon)

– Assessment of 1st trimester uterine artery pulsatility index in Hongkong Chinease

1st trimester assessment of growth and Doppler

– Assessment of 1 trimester uterine artery pulsatility index in Hongkong Chinease

pregnant women(Sahota, Daljit)

– Pulsatility index of the uterine arteries between 11 and 13.6 weeks: comparison

of measurement by transvaginal and transabdominal Doppler ultrasound (Cafici,

Daniel)

– Reduced fetal movement at term association to first trimester uterine artery

Doppler assessment (G Pagani)

– Reduced fetal movement at term: association to first trimester PAPP-A level (G

Pagani)

– Outcomes in cases of low PAPP-A and free ß-hCG in maternal serum at 1st

trimester screening (Deloison)


2nd trimester assessment

• Ratio of prenasal thickness (PT) and nasal bone length (NBL) (Down

syndrome)

• Fetal facial shape

– Facial height (FH) and facial width (FW) (FH/FW ratio)

– Forehead assessment (Profile line) (Down syndrome)

• Short femur length associated with• Short femur length associated with

– Chromosomal abnormalities

– SGA

– Early preterm delivery

• Increased 2nd trimester uterine artery Doppler indices (> 90th centile)

associated with placental dysfunction)

• Femoral metaphyseal-epiphyseal angle (> 130◦ in achondroplasia)

• Asymptomatic short cervix length is a predictor of intra-amniotic

inflammation

de Jong)

– Fetal facial shape: 3D study of height and width in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of

pregnancy (A De Boagent)

artery Doppler assessment (G Pagani)

achondroplasia (A Khalil)

– Non-invasive prediction of intra-amniotic infection and/or inflammation in

patient with cervical insufficiency or an asymptomatic short cervix (<15mm) (E

Jung)9Dr. To Mai Xuan Hong

IUGR: detection and management

• Late-onset IUGR = SGA+(EFW<P3, Abnormal

MCA-UtA-UA)

– Poor outcome (neonatal morbility)

– Possible choosing an induction

• TRUFFLE study (Trial of Umbilical and Fetal Flow

in Europe)

– Decision the best timing of delivery in preterm

pregnancies complicated IUGR

– Surveillance test: CTG, UA and DV Doppler

• Aortic intima-media thickness (aIMT) (> 0.8mm)

– Higher SBP and glomerular dysfuction 10Dr. To Mai Xuan Hong


– Are all late-onset IUGR the same? (E Gratacos)

– Clinical lessons from the TRUFFLE study (C Bilardo)

IUGR: detection and management

– Clinical lessons from the TRUFFLE study (C Bilardo)

– The use of charts in detecting late-onset IUGR (A

Papageorghiou)

– Prenatal scale for cardiovascular risk in IUGR (E Cosmi)


Cervical assessment

• Preterm delivery

– Intra-amniotic sludge

• Induction of labor• Induction of labor

– TVS assessment

– Comparison of funneling,

length and Bishop’s score


Cervical assessment


– Intra-amniotic sludge observed at cervical ultrasound

and the risk of preterm delivery (F. Audibert)
