Implication

Offers gestational-age-specific Mod-MPI norms; leaves open validation for detecting dysfunction in complicated pregnancies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
557 normal fetuses at 19-39 weeks' gestation
I
Intervention
Measurement of modified myocardial performance index (Mod-MPI) using Doppler signals of mitral and aortic valve clicks
O
Outcome
Gestational-age-adjusted reference values for the Mod-MPI and its components (isovolumetric contraction time, isovolumetric relaxation time, and ejection time)surrogate

This study establishes gestational-age-adjusted reference values for the modified myocardial performance index in normal fetuses, providing a baseline for evaluating fetal cardiac function in complicated pregnancies.
