Sonographic Markers in the Prediction of Fetal Complex Gastroschisis.

Objective: To investigate the ultrasound (US) markers predictive of complex gastroschisis (CG), mortality, and morbidity in fetuses with gastroschisis.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 186 pregnancies with isolated fetal gastroschisis. Eight US markers were analyzed.

Fetal gastroschisis: antepartum fetal heart rate analysis by computerized cardiotocography.

Objectives: To describe the antenatal fetal heart rate (FHR) parameters analyzed by computerizedcardiotocography (cCTG) in fetuses with gastroschisis and compare the FHR parameters with ultrasound gastrointestinal markers.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of antepartum cCTG records were conducted in 87 pregnant cases with fetal gastroschisis between 28and 36 weeks (plus 6 days). A comparative analysis of the median distribution of the following FHR parameters was performed: basal FHR, short-term variation (STV), FHR accelerations and decelerations, episodes of high and low variations, and variations in low and high episodes.
