Abstract:
Objectives:To analyze the clinical prognosis stratification of fetal heart disease(FHD)and the mid-term follow-up results following integrated prenatal and postnatal management. Methods:Present retrospective analysis was performed on 817 fetuses diagnosed with FHD by fetal echocardiography in Fuwai Hospital,Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences(Fuwai Hospital)from the 8th February 2018 to 30th April 2022.According to the Chinese expert consensus on fetal prognosis score of congenital heart disease(CHD)and Fuwai Hospital Pediatric Center score,FHD was divided into grade Ⅰ(0 point),grade Ⅱ(1-3 points),grade Ⅲ(4-6 points)and grade Ⅳ(7-9 points).For FHD fetuses that need to be treated in the neonatal period,the whole closed-loop management and treatment were completed,including pregnancy,birth,neonatal monitoring,surgery,and follow-up.The clinical data and mid-term follow-up results of FHD fetuses were analyzed. Results:A total of 752 fetuses completed the mid-term follow-up.The mean follow-up time was(18.5±2.3)months.There were 111 cases(14.8%)of FHD grade Ⅰ,251 cases(33.4%)of FHD grade Ⅱ,275 cases(33.6%)of FHD grade Ⅲ and 115 cases(15.3%)of FHD grade Ⅳ.There were 393 cases(52.2%)of fetal preservation,1 case(0.2%)of intrauterine death,and 358 cases(47.6%)of induced abortion.Compared with the induced fetus,the pregnant women in the reserved fetus group were older,the gestational age was longer,the rate of receiving noninvasive DNA and amniocentesis was lower,the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities or genetic abnormalities was smaller,and the FHD prognostic score was lower(all P<0.05).One case(0.9%)of FHD grade Ⅰ fetus experienced intrauterine fetal death,and 110 cases(99.1%)were born and recovered.164 cases(65.3%)of grade Ⅱ fetuses were born,and all of them were cured by surgery or spontaneously.118 cases(42.9%)of grade Ⅲ fetuses were born,117 cases completed biventricular radical operation,and 1 case completed two-stage operation waiting for the second stage biventricular radical operation.One case(0.9%)of grade Ⅳ was born and completed the two-stage bidirectional Glenn procedure.Among the induced FHD grade Ⅱ fetuses,8(9.2%)had abnormal chromosomal or genetic testing results,and 8(9.2%)had other organ abnormalities.Among the induced FHD grade Ⅲ fetuses,5 cases(3.2%)had chromosomal abnormalities,5 cases(3.2%)had genetic abnormalities,and 9 cases(5.7%)had other organ abnormalities.There was only one case(0.9%)of FHD Ⅳ with hypoplastic left heart syndrome,which was retained as one of the twins and was born successfully.Norwood one-stage procedure was performed in the neonatal period,and two-stage bidirectional Greene procedure was performed at 6 months after birth.Other fetuses were induced following the choice of maternity and their family members. Conclusions:Hierarchical management based on clinical prognosis is helpful to scientifically guide the integrated treatment of FHD fetuses and improve the success rate of treatment of FHD fetuses with good prognosis.
