Factor Information
Data ID 1882
Factor diagnostic category
Description Multivariable analysis showed that the diagnostic category (P<0.001) was independently associated with smaller brain volumes in fetuses with CHD.
Biomarker NA
Classification A12 (clinical factor - treatment)
Association
Application diagnosis
Objective smaller brain volumes
p Value <0.001
Conclusion The volume of intracranial structures is smaller in fetuses with CHD, particularly in those with HLHS, aortic hypoplasia or TGA. This study highlights the need for routine brain screening and early intervention to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in fetuses with CHD.
