Key result
Updated obstetric ultrasound guidelines were temporally associated with an improvement in prenatal detection of d-TGA from 14% in 2003-2010 to 77% in 2014-2015.
Why the study?
Do updated obstetric ultrasound guidelines incorporating cardiac outflow tract screening improve the prenatal detection rate of d-TGA?
Observational (n=127)
Yes
Do updated obstetric ultrasound guidelines incorporating cardiac outflow tract screening improve the prenatal detection rate of d-TGA?
Absolute Event Rate: 77% vs 14%
Incorporating cardiac outflow tract screening into routine obstetric ultrasound guidelines substantially improves the prenatal detection rate of d-TGA.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support outflow tract views in routine screening; extends observational data but leaves causal impact and outcome benefits open.
Ravi et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) (n=127). Updated obstetric ultrasound guidelines vs. Prior to updated guidelines (2003-2010) was evaluated on Prenatal detection of d-TGA. Updated obstetric ultrasound guidelines were temporally associated with an improvement in prenatal detection of d-TGA from 14% in 2003-2010 to 77% in 2014-2015.
