Key result
A multiparametric scoring system yielded higher mean post-test probabilities in fetuses with confirmed coarctation of the aorta compared to normal fetuses (82% vs 55%, P=0.002 for ≤28 weeks).
Why the study?
Does a multiparametric fetal echocardiographic scoring system predict postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry?

Does a multiparametric fetal echocardiographic scoring system predict postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry?
A multiparametric scoring system combining size-based fetal echocardiographic parameters and gestational age at diagnosis improves the prediction of postnatal coarctation of the aorta in fetuses with cardiac asymmetry.
Gómez‐Montes et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Fetuses with cardiac asymmetry (n=85). Multiparametric scoring system (cardiac parameters and gestational age) vs. Normal fetuses was evaluated on Postnatal coarctation of the aorta (CoAo). A multiparametric scoring system yielded higher mean post-test probabilities in fetuses with confirmed coarctation of the aorta compared to normal fetuses (82% vs 55%, P=0.002 for ≤28 weeks).
