Why the study?

Does routine prenatal chest roentgenography provide practical value over history and physical examination alone in pregnant women?

Comparison

Routine prenatal chest roentgenograms obtained… vs General medical examination alone

Design

Cohort

Authors

CBCharles R. BonebrakeMayo Clinic

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

History and physical may suffice to detect major prenatal chest abnormalities; leaves open value of routine radiography in contemporary cohorts.

Structured PICO

Does routine prenatal chest roentgenography provide practical value over history and physical examination alone in pregnant women?

Population

12,109 consecutive deliveries (pregnant women) at the Mayo Clinic

Intervention

Routine prenatal chest roentgenograms (chest X-rays) obtained during the first or second prenatal visit

Comparator

General medical examination (history and physical examination) alone

Outcome

Detection of appreciable roentgenographic abnormalities not suspected by history or physical examinationsurrogate

Routine prenatal chest roentgenography does not provide additional practical value for screening, as all major abnormalities can be suspected based on history or physical examination alone.
