Evaluation of the Relationship Between the Thymic–Thoracic Ratio and Perinatal Adverse Outcomes in Fetuses with Congenital Heart Defects

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how the thymic-thoracic ratio relates to perinatal outcomes in fetuses with congenital heart defects.
• Measured thymic-thoracic ratio in fetuses diagnosed with congenital heart defects.
• Analyzed the relationship between TTR and various perinatal outcomes.
• Conducted statistical analysis to assess the significance of TTR measurements.
• Lower thymic-thoracic ratios were observed in fetuses with congenital heart defects.
• A decreasing TTR correlated with a higher incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes.
• Assessment of TTR may help in predicting outcomes for affected fetuses.
