To investigate the correlation between fetoplacental circulation and maternal left ventricular myocardial work (MW) parameters in patients with preeclampsia (PE) and the prediction of fetal hypoxia. Seventy-eight PE patients (PE group) were assigned to intrauterine-hypoxia (27) and non-intrauterine-hypoxia (51) groups, and 45 healthy pregnant women were controls. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter for fetal intrauterine hypoxia.

Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between the cerebro-placental ratio (CPR) measured at 40+0 weeks' gestation and perinatal outcomes to determine a CPR cut-off that may justify induction of labor at term in appropriately grown fetuses (AGA). Although CPR is used for monitoring growth-restricted fetuses, its role in guiding labor induction decisions for AGA pregnancies at term remains unclear.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from 491 singleton pregnancies with intended vaginal deliveries between 2015 and 2021.

Maternal Serum SCUBE-1: A Novel Ischemic Marker in Preeclampsia.

J Pers Med

November 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Karadeniz Technical University, 61080 Trabzon, Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • SCUBE-1 is a new marker indicating ischemia and has been studied for its connection to uteroplacental blood flow in preeclampsia patients.
  • In the study, 32 preeclamptic women showed significantly higher maternal serum SCUBE-1 levels compared to a control group of 32 healthy pregnancies, alongside elevated uterine artery pulsatility indexes.
  • Although SCUBE-1 levels were higher in preeclampsia, there was no significant correlation with umbilical artery pulsatility index or cerebroplacental ratio, but a notable correlation was found with uterine artery pulsatility index.

The fetus develops normally in a hypoxic environment but exaggerated hypoxia late in pregnancy is a worrisome sign often observed in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, placental insufficiency, or fetal growth restriction (FGR). Serial fetal biometry and the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR, calculated as the middle cerebral artery [MCA] / the umbilical artery [UmbA] pulsatility indices [PI]), are commonly used to indicate fetal "brain sparing" resulting from exaggerated fetal hypoxia. But unclear is the extent to which a low CPR indicates pathology or is a physiological response for maintaining cerebral blood flow.
