Abstract

Objective: We aimed to determine reference ranges and establish nomograms for fetal neck circumference and area in Turkish population. Methods: A total of 696 women with singleton normal pregnancies were included in this prospective study and the fetal neck circumference and area measurements were conducted with the technique defined by Sherer et al. in 2007. Results: The fetal neck circumference and area measurements were highly correlated with the weeks of gestation. The equations obtained for fetal neck circumference (FNC) and fetal neck area (FNA) were FNC= -0.0012WG2 + 0.5312WG - 1.9248 (R2 =0.8403; p<0.01) and FNA= 0.017WG2 – 0.073WG (R2 =0.8; p<0.01), respectively. Conclusion: This study helped us to establish nomograms of FNC and FNA in Turkish population for the second and third trimesters of gestation. We believe that these measurements could be a significant predictor for the determination of weeks of gestation

Özet

Amaç: Türk popülasyonunda fetal boyun çevresi ve fetal boyun alanı için referans değer aralıklarını tespit edip nomogram oluşturmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Bu prospektif çalışmaya, tekil, normal gebelikleri olan 696 gebe kadın dahil edilerek, 2007’de Sherer ve ark.’nın tanımladığı teknikle fetal boyun çevresi ve fetal boyun alanı ölçümleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Fetal boyun çevresi ve fetal boyun alanı ölçümleri gestasyonel hafta ile yüksek korelasyon göstermekte idi. Fetal boyun çevresi için; FBÇ= -0.0012GH2 + 0.5312GH - 1.9248 (R2 =0.8403; p<0.01) ve fetal boyun alanı için FBA= 0.017GH2 – 0.073GH (R2 = 0.8; p<0.01) denklemleri elde edildi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma bize gebeliğin ikinci ve üçüncü üç ayı için FBÇ ve FBA açısından Türk popülasyonunda nomogram oluşturulmasını sağlamıştır. Biz bu ölçümlerin gestasyonel haftanın tayininde önemli bir prediktör olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
