Objective: This study aimed to evaluate fetal epicardial fat thickness (EFT) along with fetal myocardial performance index (MPI) and its effects on perinatal outcomes in non-severe idiopathic polyhydramnios (IP).
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 92 participants, 32 diagnosed with non-severe IP, and 60 healthy pregnant women. Amniotic fluid indices (AFI), umbilical and middle cerebral artery Doppler, EFT, and MPI measurements were performed for all patients.
Results: The fetal EFT and MPI values were statistically higher in the non-severe IP group than in the control group (p = 0.0001, p = 0.014, respectively). The optimal fetal EFT cutoff value for predicting non-severe IP disease was found as 1.3 mm with a specificity of 81.7% and sensitivity of 59.4%. The EFT cutoff for predicting cesarean section in non-severe IP cases was 1.25 mm (p = 0.038). Apgar scores, neonatal intensive care unit, respiratory distress syndrome, and stillbirth rates were not different between groups.
Conclusion: In this study, EFT and MPI were found to be higher in non-severe IP cases compared to controls. It was observed that the increase in MPI and EFT was associated with the increase in cesarean rates, but not with adverse fetal outcomes.

Fetal epicardial fat thickness and modified myocardial performance index in late-onset fetal growth restriction.

Division of Perinatology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mersin University Faculty of Medicine, Mersin, Turkey.
Aim: In our study, we aimed to investigate the value of fetal epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and modified myocardial performance index (mod-MPI) in fetal growth restriction (FGR) that develops after the 32nd week of gestation.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-six pregnant women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study and were divided into two groups: pregnancies diagnosed with FGR after the 32nd week of gestation (FGR group) and those without (control group). Demographic and obstetric histories, ultrasonographic and clinical characteristics, fetal EFT and mod-MPI values, and neonatal outcomes of the groups were recorded, and comparisons were made between the groups.

Objective: Our aim was to investigate the significance of cerebro-placento-uterine ratio CPUR, a new Doppler index, and fetal cardiac parameters (Mod MPI, EFT) in early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE) and to examine whether these parameters are related to perinatal outcome.
Study Design: Forty participants diagnosed with EOPE (preeclampsia cases diagnosed before 34 weeks of gestation) and 40 healthy pregnant women were included in this study. Demographic data were recorded.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate fetal epicardial fat thickness (EFT) together with fetal myocardial performance index (MPI) and its effects on neonatal outcomes in obese pregnant women.
Materials And Methods: A total of 102 pregnant women, 51 obese and 51 of normal weight, were included in this prospective study. Fetal EFT, and MPI measurements were performed for all patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate fetal modified myocardial performance index (mod-MPI) and fetal epicardial fat tissue (EFT) thickness and its association with adverse perinatal outcomes in diabetic pregnant women.
Patients And Methods: This was a prospective case-control study including 90 gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and 45 pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) and 90 healthy pregnant women (control group). Two-dimensional gray-scale and Doppler fetal echocardiography were used to calculate the mod-MPI.
