Factor Information
Data ID 1647
Factor Brain cortical development--Left parietoccipital fissure depth/BPD
Description Results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain at term in fetuses with CHD and controls
Biomarker NA
Classification A6 (clinical factor - other)
Association
Application prognosis and diagnosis
Objective Our aim was to evaluate whether brain development in late pregnancy can be predicted by fetal brain Doppler, head biometry and the clinical form of CHD at the time of diagnosis.
p Value <0.01
Conclusion Furthermore, when we evaluated cortical sulcation, CHD fetuses presented significantly decreased depths for left and right parietoccipital, cingulate and calcarine fissures compared to those of controls.
