Key result
A global multiparameter scoring system accurately predicted postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry (AUC 0.93; 95% CI 0.89-0.97).
Why the study?
The study sought to prospectively assess the capability of a previously reported global multiparameter scoring system to predict coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry.
Does a global multiparameter scoring system predict postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry?
Population

Does a global multiparameter scoring system predict postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry?
Effect estimate: AUC 0.93 (95% CI 0.89-0.97)
p-value: p=<0.001
A global multiparameter scoring system accurately predicts postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry, potentially reducing false positive diagnoses.
Gómez‐Montes et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Coarctation of the aorta (n=179). Global multiparameter scoring system was evaluated on Prediction of postnatal coarctation of the aorta (AUC 0.93, 95% CI 0.89-0.97, p=<0.001). A global multiparameter scoring system accurately predicted postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry (AUC 0.93; 95% CI 0.89-0.97).
