Abstract

Background: To investigate whether early nuchal translucency measurement at 7⁺⁰ to 9⁺⁰ weeks (NT_7-9w) is feasible, obtain normal values for different crown-rump lengths (CRL) in the above weeks and create percentile tables.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the University Hospital of Ioannina, including data from women with singleton pregnancies, examined in the early pregnancy unit between November 2010 and May 2015 at a CRL of 10-27 mm. The early pregnancy scan was performed vaginally, and the NT_7-9w, CRL, fetal heart rate, and mean yolk sac diameter were measured. Demographic data, including body mass index and smoking, were recorded.

Results: NT_7-9w was measured successfully in 192 fetuses out of 210 (91.4 %), with a CRL ranging from 10-27 mm. The median maternal age was 31 (range 18-43) years, and the median CRL was 19.9 (range 10.0-27.0) mm. Considering the above measurements, we created normal values and percentiles tables of NT at 7⁺⁰ to 9⁺⁰ weeks in relation to the corresponding CRL measurement.

Conclusion: According to the literature, this is the first attempt to measure NT in such weeks of pregnancy. NT measurement as early as 7⁺⁰ to 9⁺⁰ is feasible and normal values can be created and correlated with CRL measurements. HIPPOKRATIA 2021, 25 (4):151-155.

在妊娠早期测量颈部半透明度是否可行？

背景：为了研究在7+0至9+0周（NT7-9w）早期测量颈部半透明度是否可行，获得上述周内不同冠臀长度（CRL）的正常值，并创建百分位数表。方法：在约阿尼纳大学医院妇产科进行了一项前瞻性研究，包括2010年11月至2015年5月在早孕病房检查的单胎妊娠妇女的数据，CRL为10-27mm，测定平均卵黄囊直径。记录了人口统计数据，包括体重指数和吸烟情况。结果：在210个胎儿中，192个胎儿（91.4%）成功测量了NT7-9w，CRL范围为10-27mm。中位母亲年龄为31岁（范围18-43），中位CRL为19.9（范围10.0-27.0）mm。考虑到上述测量结果，我们创建了7+0至9+0周时NT与相应CRL测量值的正常值和百分位数表。结论：根据文献，这是第一次尝试在这样的妊娠周内测量NT。早在7+0到9+0的NT测量是可行的，并且可以创建正常值并将其与CRL测量相关联。希波克拉蒂亚2021，25（4）：151-155。
