Figure 1 Risk of adverse fetal outcome and antepartum recognitionof small-for-gestational age (SGA), showing fetuses recognized (°)and those not recognized (ž) antepartum. Weight deviation =(birth weight − expected birth weight)/expected birth weightexpressed as a percentage. Classification of birth-weight deviation:normal group < + 22% to ≥−11%; 20th percentile <−11% to≥−16.5%; 10th percentile <−16.5% to >−22%; moderate SGA≤−22% to >−27%; severe SGA ≤−27% to >−33%; extreme SGA≤−33%. Difference between identified and unidentified SGA cases:*P = 0.01, **P = 0.02, ***P < 0.001.

model. The data were analyzed using SPSS software 11.5(Statistical Package Social Sciences (SPSS) Inc., Chicago,IL, USA). P-values < 0.05 were considered statisticallysignificant.

Power estimation

We assumed the rate of serious complication to be 10%among SGA pregnancies. A two-sided χ2 test with a 0.05significance level applied to two equal groups of 600pregnancies would yield a power of 87% to detect ahalved incidence of serious complications in the groupwith antepartum recognition of SGA.

RESULTS

The number and risk of serious fetal complicationsamong those with SGA and AGA are given in Table 1.Compared with AGA fetuses, SGA fetuses were at afour-fold increased risk (OR, 4.1; 95% CI, 3.2–5.0) forserious fetal complications, and about 8% of SGA fetusessuffered adverse fetal outcome. However, SGA fetuseswere at an approximately seven-fold increased risk fordeath (either intrauterine or infant death). Compared withAGA fetuses, fetuses with moderate SGA, severe SGA,and extreme SGA were at a 4.2- (95% CI, 2.9–6.2), 7.0-(95% CI, 4.2–11.6), and 35.8- (95% CI, 20.4–62.8) foldincreased risk of serious fetal complications, respectively.Similarly, compared with women delivering at term, thosedelivering extremely preterm, preterm and post-term wereat a 24.7- (95% CI, 18.1–33.6), 2.9- (95% CI, 2.2–3.8),and 1.4- (95% CI, 1.0–1.9) fold increased risk of seriousfetal complications (adjusted for SGA ‘yes/no’).

Table 2 presents adverse fetal outcome among SGAfetuses, divided into those either ‘identified’ or ‘notidentified’ before delivery. The risk is presented bothas a bivariate OR and an adjusted OR for adverse fetaloutcome. SGA fetuses not identified before delivery, whencompared with those identified, were characterized bya four-fold increased risk of serious complications (OR,4.1; 95% CI, 2.5–6.8). Fifty-four percent of all SGApregnancies were identified as SGA in advance of delivery.Pregnancies with moderate SGA were identified in 44%(297/683) of all cases, and the proportions of severe

DISCUSSIONFetal growth restriction is a prominent contributor toperinatal mortality and morbidities extending all theway into adulthood.1–3,17 In otherwise normal fetuses,the adverse sequelae of growth-restricted follow the

interactions of deteriorating fetal status, poor transi-tion to extrauterine life, and prematurity.3,4,8,11,12,18

The at-risk growth-restricted fetus is now reliablyidentified by high resolution ultrasound evaluation ofanatomy and size, combined with Doppler ultra-sonography for umbilical artery flow dynamics.10

Fetal cardiovascular responses to placental dysfunc-tion and risks of deterioration are further assessedwith arterial and precordial venous Doppler.4,5,11,12,19

Using these ultrasound tools, we can precisely depictthe fetal effects of placental failure. But because thereis no effective therapy for the failing placenta, we are

are reported. Continuous variables were tested for normality(Shapiro-Wilks test) and then analyzed with Student’s t-test.Categorical variables were analyzed with Fisher’s exact test.P < 0.05 was considered significant. The duration of inten-sive fetal monitoring from admission in the fetal intensivecare unit to delivery was expressed as number of days priorto delivery. In each patient, we calculated the number of daysprior to delivery when a persistently abnormal velocimetricmeasurement (i.e. for two consecutive examinations) wasidentified for the first time.

Longitudinal cumulative onset time curves were calculatedfor each Doppler measurement to describe the proportionof cases with abnormal Doppler measurements during theobservation time. To allow for a statistical analysis, umbilicalchanges from absent to reverse end-diastolic flow (AEDF toREDF) and ductus venosus changes from abnormal wave-form (DV S/a) to reverse a-wave (DV RF) were consideredindependently, as two different marks of adaptation of pro-gressive severity. Linear regression analysis was used toapproximate this biological phenomenon described by thelongitudinal cumulative curves. The α-coefficient and theintercept value were calculated and anova and Student’st-test were carried out to test the differences between the dif-ferent curves. Univariate logistic regression was used to iden-tify which one of the independent variables (fetal weight,gestational age at birth or Doppler changes) was a significantpredictor of the dependent variable (perinatal outcome).Additionally, in a subset of nine cases that entered the studywith Doppler abnormalities in the UA and middle cerebralartery (MCA) (‘early’ changes), the average incidence rate ofsubsequent abnormal Doppler findings in other vessels wasestimated by the Kaplan-Meier approach (Software from StataCorp. 1999, College Station, TX, USA).

RESULTS

Seventy-five singleton pregnancies with a diagnosis of IUGRand abnormal umbilical Doppler velocimetry were admittedto the Department of Maternal–Fetal Medicine of DMCOSan Paolo between 1 January 1996 and 31 May 1999. Of these,26 IUGR fetuses met the study inclusion criteria and com-pleted the longitudinal study from admission until delivery.

Figure 1 depicts longitudinal cumulative onset time curvesof Doppler abnormalities calculated for each vessel. Theseobservations show that abnormalities in Doppler indices ofdifferent vessels occur in a time-dependent fashion. Basedupon the days from delivery (i.e. days from a non-reactiveFHR tracing), the Doppler abnormalities can be categorizedinto ‘early’ stage and ‘late’ stage changes. In addition to theentry criteria of an abnormal Doppler index in the UA anduterine artery, which by the inclusion criteria were necessar-ily the first Doppler changes noted, the subsequent earliestsequential Doppler abnormalities identified were the abnor-mal MCA PI and then the UA AEDF. These were categorizedas early stage Doppler abnormalities. Fifty percent of fetusesshowed early stage changes by –16 and –15 days from deliv-ery. Following the early stage changes, subsequent temporalDoppler changes appeared and included (in order of appear-ance) increased DV S/a ratio, UA reverse flow (RF), decreased

pulmonary artery PV, DV RF and, lastly, decreased aorticPV. Since these indices began to appear by –6 days fromdelivery and well after the early changes, they were categor-ized as late stage changes. The first late stage circulatorychange to occur was an abnormal ductus venosus S/a ratio.Thirty-five percent of fetuses had this abnormality by –5days. The last velocimetric abnormalities were abnormal pul-monary artery peak velocity (PV), ductus venosus RF andabnormal peak velocities in the outflow-tract of the aorta.Fifty percent of fetuses showed these changes from –4 and–3 days. We did not find significant differences in the preva-lence of cases with an amniotic fluid index < 5 cm at the timeof admission (4/11 and 10/15) and at the time of delivery (5/11 and 11/15), respectively, in fetuses with early and latechanges.

To further confirm the temporal sequence of Dopplervelocimetric changes, the ratio between the α-coefficient andintercept of each cumulative curve was calculated (Table 2).In order to estimate the risk of occurrence of any of the latevascular changes, we identified a subset of nine fetuses thatentered our study with evidence of only abnormal earlychanges (abnormal MCA PI and UA AEDF). The Kaplan-Meier incidence estimates and the incidence rates of each late

A fetal cardiovascular score to predict infant hypertension and arterial remodeling in intrauterine growth restriction

Cruz-Lemini, Crispi, Gratacos AJOG 2014

P < .001) demonstrated the strongestassociations.

To assess the potential interactionamong the different parameters, a

multivariate analysis was performed thatincluded TAPSE (the parameter thatshowed the strongest association withhypertension and arterial remodeling in

the univariate analysis) with other sig-nificant predictors of risk (Appendix;Supplemental Material). Most parame-ters continued to show independentpredictive values for the combined car-diovascular endpoint; cerebroplacentalratio (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.5e3.1; P <.001), right sphericity index (OR, 2.8;95% CI, 1.4e10.9; P < .015), andIVRT (OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.4e3.5; P <.001) had the highest ORs. Finally, acomposite score that was based on thebest perinatal and fetal echocardio-graphic predictors was generated by thecombination of these variables in aregression analysis. This fetal cardiovas-cular score was comprised of TAPSE (z-score), cerebroplacental ratio (z-score),right sphericity index (crude value), andIVRT (z-score) (Figure 2) and yieldedthe following equation:

1:907 þ ðTAPSE # $0:589Þþ ðcerebroplacental ratio # $ 0:286Þþ ðright sphericity index # $1:938Þþ ðIVRT # 0:342Þ & 0:1253:

The equation resulted in 90% sensi-tivity, 77% specificity, 63% positivepredictive value, 95% negative predictivevalue, 3.9 positive likelihood ratio, and0.1 negative likelihood ratio to detectthose IUGR cases with infant hyperten-sion and arterial remodeling. Receiveroperating characteristic curve compari-son was performed to estimate area un-der the curve for isolated and combinedparameters with the highest ORs. Theaverage area under the curve for the fetalcardiovascular score was 0.87 (95% CI,0.79e0.93; P < .001), higher than fetal

COMMENT

This study shows that a fetal cardiovas-cular score is associated strongly with thepresence of postnatal hypertension andarterial remodeling at 6 months of agein IUGR infants. Echocardiographicparameters demonstrated a far betterperformance than perinatal factors andfetoplacental Doppler scans that wereused for establishing the severity of theIUGR.

Echocardiographic measurements infetuses were consistent with previousstudies that demonstrated significantdifferences in cardiac function underIUGR.1-3,5,11,12,32,37-40 Likewise, in-creased blood pressure and aIMT pre-viously had been reported in IUGRneonates and children.3,32,38,40-42 Thepresent study expands previous findings.Longitudinal follow-up evaluations dem-onstrated the relationship between pre-natal echocardiography and postnatalcardiovascular findings.

As expected, gestational age andbirthweight percentile showed no associ-ationwith the occurrence of hypertensionand arterial remodeling in childhood.Likewise, fetoplacental Doppler parame-ters that were used in fetal treatmentbecause of their associationwith perinataloutcome had only aweak associationwithpostnatal cardiovascular outcome. Theabsence of a direct relationship betweenthese factors, which are accepted severitycriteria and bear a strong association withperinatal and neurological outcome,43-45

suggests that cardiovascular program-ming may require the presence of pre-disposing factors. In line with thisnotion, fetal echocardiographic parame-ters showed a strong association withhypertension and arterial remodeling,which might indicate that, irrespective ofconventional perinatal criteria, there is afraction of subjects who display morepronounced adaptive cardiovascularchanges under IUGR and in whom thesechanges persist postnatally. The cardio-vascular score developed in this study

could identify this high-risk subgroupwith a sensitivity of 90%. We acknowl-edge that most of our population repre-sented late-onset IUGR infants who weredelivered near term; thus, our resultsmight not be generalized to early-onsetIUGR. However, because prematurityand prolonged neonatal intensive careunit stay are considered cardiovascularrisk factors by themselves,6 early IUGRwould be considered a high-risk sub-group by itself.Our proposed score logically com-

pulsed, and color Doppler and arereproducible in fetuses.16,27,28 TAPSEhas been used in fetuses to describecardiovascular dysfunction in IUGR,which reflects subclinical longitudinaldysfunction of the right ventricle.5

Postnatally, TAPSE has been reportedas a good predictor for death in Eisen-menger’s syndrome or to monitor post-operative function in resynchronizationtherapy.33,46 Changes in sphericity indexhad been described previously in IUGRchildren by our group3,11 and showsmore globular hearts probably becauseof cavity dilation because of hypoxia.In this study, we first report thatthese changes are already present inutero.

A fetal cardiovascular score to predict infant hypertension and arterial remodeling in intrauterine growth restriction Cruz-Lemini, Crispi, Gratacos

AJOG 2014

Overall, our results show that fetalechocardiography can predict mid-termcardiovascular risk factors and supportthe concept of the inclusion of theselected IUGR population as a high-riskgroup for early screening in cardiovascu-lar guidelines.3 From a clinical perspec-tive, this study opens a line that may findnew applications for echocardiographyin fetal life. Considering that the diagnosisof IUGR is established in approximately5-10% of pregnancies, the findings ofthis study would affect thousands ofchildren per year who, at this moment,are not screened for hypertension at6 months. The parameters included inthe cardiovascular score are simple andeasy to measure, can be performed withconventional ultrasound equipment, andprovide information that would supporta request of a cardiovascular evaluationat 6 months of age in those children whoare classified as high-risk. In addition,recent prospective validation with long-term follow-up evaluation is required toconfirm the value of predictive scores thatare based on fetal echocardiography witha clear clinical application. If these ex-pectations are confirmed, the prediction

of hypertension and arterial remodelingfrom perinatal life would represent apublic health opportunity for interven-tion. It is recognized that mild cardio-vascular changes that remain subclinicalduring childhood may represent signifi-cant health issues if combined withadditional behaviors or stressors duringadulthood.47 Hypertension in the childhas been associated with substantial long-term health risks and are considered anindication for lifestyle modifications.6 Inaddition, aIMT measurement allows thedetection of increased cardiovascularrisk as an indicator of arterial remodelingin children.31,32,38 Interventions in thistarget group could include blood pressuremonitoring before 3 years of age, rec-ommendation of lack of exposure toother risk factors (secondary smoking,obesity), surveillance of catch-up growthor administration of hypotensors,7,9 andthe promotion of exercise and physicalactivity. Particularly, high intake of di-etary long-chain u-3 fatty acids is asso-ciated with lower blood pressure andmayprevent progression of subclinical ath-erosclerosis in childrenwho are bornwithlow birthweight.48 A recent randomized

trial in a large cohort of children suggeststhat the inverse association of fetal growthwith arterial wall thickness in childhoodcan be prevented by dietary u-3 fatty acidsupplementation over the first 5 years oflife.49

Among the strengths of this study wasthe longitudinal workup of structuraland functional echocardiographic find-ings from fetal life to infancy. Thisallowed us to examine prospectively theeffects of impaired fetal growth, whilecontrolling for postnatal confounders asmuch as possible. We acknowledge that,by including only cases with confirmedIUGR, external validity may be reduced,because our population does not includeall the spectrum of cases (prenatallysuspected IUGR). However, it is alsocertain that including nonconfirmedIUGR would affect internal validity, thatis, ascertaining the true relationshipbetween IUGR and our cardiovascularoutcome. Additionally, no adjustmentwas made for multiple comparisons ofechocardiographic parameters. Exami-nation at 6 months of age was chosenbecause it is a reasonable point in time toavoid the effects of neonatal cardiovas-cular transition to postnatal life andpotential interference with temporaryblood pressure changes. Although weacknowledge that longer term evaluationwould provide more robust data on thelong-term prediction value, this wouldentail the need for correction of poten-tial confounders that are associatedwith diet, exercise, or socioeconomicfactors. In addition, there is strong evi-dence on the longer term effects ofIUGR in children and adolescents.7,38,48

Notwithstanding these comments, weacknowledge that longer term follow-upevaluation is necessary to validate theclinical value of echocardiographic scoresto predict hypertension and other car-diovascular outcomes in childhood.Likewise, we acknowledge that there isno standard definition for increasedcardiovascular risk at 6 months of ageand that an ideal outcome for this typeof study would be information of car-diovascular disease or clinical events atadult age, such as myocardial infarction,heart failure, or death. Therefore, furtherlong-term follow-up evaluation of an
