Implication

Tei index may identify fetal myocardial impairment in IUGR and maternal diabetes; leaves open its prognostic value and clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Does the Tei index detect abnormal myocardial performance in fetuses with IUGR or of diabetic mothers compared to normal fetuses?

P
Population
135 subjects including 50 normal fetuses, 35 fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), 30 fetuses of diabetic mothers (DM), and 20 normal infants.
I
Intervention
Serial evaluation of myocardial performance using the Tei index (Doppler echocardiography).
C
Comparator
Normal fetuses and normal infants (controls).
O
Outcome
Tei index of left and right ventricles.surrogate

The Tei index can detect abnormal myocardial performance in later gestation in fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation and those of diabetic mothers.
