Abstract:
Objective To explore the neurological development of fetal with ventriculomegaly at 1 year after birth by systematically reviewing the domestic and international literature about prognosis of fetal ventriculomegaly. Methods Wanfang database, CNKI, CBM, PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were online searched to collect relevant literature published from January 1st, 1980 to November 22th, 2017. Literature were extracted based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale(NOS), and analyzed by R software for meta-analysis. The corresponding model was selected according to the results of heterogeneity test to comprehensively analyze the prognosis of the fetus with ventriculomegaly. Results Five studies were included in the meta analysis, all of them were of high quality(scores>5).(1)The good prognosis rate of nervous system was 88％(95％CI:0.77-0.95)in fetus with mild ventriculomegaly,was 57％(95％CI:0.18-0.91)in those with moderate ventriculomegaly, and was 36％(95％CI: 0.16-0.59)in those with severe ventriculomegaly.(2)The good prognosis rate of the nervous system was 86％(95％CI:0.75-0.94)in fetus with the isolated ventriculomegaly, while was 58％ (95％CI: 0.20-0.91) in those with non-isolated ventriculomegaly.Theincidenceofchromosomalabnormalitieswas 7％(95％CI:0.05-0.09)inventriculomegaly. The improvement rate of lateral ventricle width in pregnancy was 41％(95％CI:0.27-0.57). Conclusions The prognosis of nervous system with mild ventriculomegaly is better than that of moderate and severe ventriculomegaly. The prognosis of nervous system with isolated ventriculomegaly is better than that of non-isolated ventriculomegaly. Fetal ventriculomegaly may be associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities and intrauterine infection. The variation of fetal lateral ventricular width should be monitored regularly during pregnancy, the risk of poor prognosis should be informed, and pediatrician should be asked for evaluation.
