Implication

Tricuspid regurgitation may be managed conservatively as transient in most fetuses; leaves open its prognostic role in growth restriction.

Structured PICO

What is the prevalence and clinical significance of tricuspid valve regurgitation in normally grown fetuses and those with intrauterine growth retardation?

P
Population
320 singleton fetuses, comprising 289 normally grown fetuses with normal heart anatomy and flow velocity waveforms, and 31 fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation (estimated fetal weight below the 3rd centile).
I
Intervention
Color Doppler flow imaging and color Doppler M-mode echocardiography (M-Q mode)
O
Outcome
Prevalence and clinical significance of fetal tricuspid valve regurgitationsurrogate

Fetal tricuspid valve regurgitation is a relatively frequent (approx. 6%) but mostly isolated and transient physiological finding in both normally grown and growth-retarded fetuses.
