The purpose of this study was to establish a Thai reference for normal fetal nasal bone length (NBL) at 11-13(+6) weeks gestation.
The fetal nasal bone was measured by sonography in pregnant women at 11-13(+6) weeks gestation. All neonates who showed normal karyotypes were examined after delivery to confirm the absence of congenital abnormalities.
A total of 255 pregnant women were recruited. Forty-seven pregnant women were excluded from the analysis because of technically unsatisfactory examination or absent nasal bone and chromosomal abnormalities. The mean ± SD of NBL was 1.79 ± 0.33 mm and increased significantly with crown-rump length (CRL) and gestational age (p < 0.001). The best-fit equation for NBL in euploid fetuses in relation to CRL was: NBL (mm) = (0.030 × CRL (mm)) - 0.016.
NBL in Thai fetuses at 11-13(+6) weeks was found to be on average shorter than that in Caucasian, African-American and Chinese populations, but similar to those reported in Korean and Latin-American populations.
本研究旨在建立 11-13(+6)周妊娠胎儿鼻骨长度(NBL)的泰国参考值。
在 11-13(+6)周妊娠的孕妇中通过超声测量胎儿鼻骨。所有分娩后显示正常核型的新生儿均接受检查以确认无先天性异常。
共纳入 255 名孕妇。47 名孕妇因检查技术不满意或鼻骨和染色体异常而被排除在分析之外。NBL 的平均值±SD 为 1.79±0.33mm,与头臀长(CRL)和胎龄呈显著正相关(p<0.001)。在整倍体胎儿中,NBL 与 CRL 的最佳拟合方程为:NBL(mm)=(0.030×CRL(mm))-0.016。
11-13(+6)周妊娠的泰国胎儿的 NBL 平均值短于白种人、非裔美国人和中国人,但与韩国和拉丁美洲人群的报道相似。
