Application of Combined Ultrasound and Maternal Serum Biochemical Indexes in the Detection of Fetal Structural Abnormalities and Chromosomal Abnormalities

Abstract

By exploring different prenatal diagnosis indications of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, it can provide a theoretical basis and reference value for clinical consultation of pregnant women with similar high-risk factors. In this paper, 1800 pregnant women undergoing amniotic fluid aspiration chromosomal examination in the prenatal diagnosis center were selected as the object of this study. Amniocentesis, fetal cell culture, and karyotype analysis were performed on pregnant women who were 14-20 weeks pregnant and had signed an informed consent. After amniocentesis fetal chromosome analysis, the type of fetal chromosomal abnormality was determined, and the detection rate of chromosomal abnormality was statistically described. Chi-square test was used for comparison between groups, P < 0.05. This study shows that the use of ultrasound screening combined with maternal serum indicators is effective in screening fetal structural abnormalities and chromosomal abnormalities in early pregnancy, and significantly improves the detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities. The detection of fetal structural malformations is also very high, but it should be combined with ultrasound screening of mid-to-late pregnancy. The tricuspid regurgitation and umbilical vein a-wave reversal in the soft ultrasound index can be used as predictors of fetal congenital heart disease in early pregnancy.
