Fetal monitoring from 39 weeks' gestation to identify South Asian-born women at risk of perinatal compromise: a retrospective cohort study. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • A study explored whether early monitoring (starting from 39 weeks of pregnancy) using amniotic fluid index (AFI) and cardiotocography (CTG) could detect signs of fetal distress in South Asian pregnancies.*  ! -
  • The study involved 771 South Asian women, where 10.6% required delivery due to monitoring results, with some showing concerning fetal heart rates or amniotic fluid levels.*  ! -
  • Findings indicated that those with abnormal monitoring had a higher risk (53% more) of perinatal issues and 83% more likely for intrapartum problems, suggesting earlier monitoring might help identify and manage fetal compromise better than relying solely on typical labor induction practices

Article Abstract

To investigate whether earlier "post-term" monitoring of South Asian (SA) pregnancies from 39 weeks' gestation with amniotic fluid index (AFI) and cardiotocography (CTG) detected suspected fetal compromise. Retrospective cohort study of all SA-born women at an Australian health service with uncomplicated, singleton pregnancies following the introduction of twice-weekly AFI and CTG monitoring from 39 weeks. Monitoring results, and their association with a perinatal compromise composite (including assisted delivery for fetal compromise, stillbirth, and NICU admission) were determined. 771 SA-born women had earlier monitoring, triggering delivery in 82 (10.6%). 31 (4%) had a non-reassuring antepartum CTG (abnormal fetal heart rate or variability, or decelerations) and 21 (2.7%) had an abnormal AFI (≤ 5 cm). Women with abnormal monitoring were 53% (95% CI 1.2-1.9) more likely to experience perinatal compromise and 83% (95% CI 1.2-2.9) more likely to experience intrapartum compromise than women with normal monitoring. Monitoring from 39 weeks identified possible fetal compromise earlier than it otherwise would have been, and triggered intervention in 10% of women. Without robust evidence to guide timing of birth in SA-born women to reduce rates of stillbirth, earlier monitoring provides an alternative to routine induction of labour.
