bull Retrospective case series of fetuses with CHF treated with transplacental digoxin evaluated at baseline (before treatment) weekly during treatment and prior to death or delivery

bull Mortality of the 28 subjects was 32

bull First last and CVPS after 1 week of treatment predicted survival (odds ratio 234 95 confidence interval 110-496) with a CVPS of gt=6 being the best predictor of survival (sensitivity 083 specificity 075)

bull All fetuses that died had notching of the umbilical venous flow

bull The overall CVPS increased from baseline during treatment (p = 0003) in all subjects

bull The CVPS score is useful in assessing therapeutic effects of digoxin in the fetus with multiple etiologies for CHF

Perinatal Cardiology Cardiology for the fetus child and mother

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

Validation of CVP score-IUGR

bull Neonates with 5-minute Apgar scores lt 7 had lower CVP scores than with scores gt 7 (6 (2-10) vs 9 (5-10) plt0001)

bull Umbilical artery NT-proANP levels of newborns with CVP score lt 6 were greater (5208 (2850-16030) pmolL) than the levels of neonates with CVP exceeding 6 (1626 (402- 9574) pmolL) p=00001)

bull All NT-proANP values of newborns with CVP score lt6 were above the 95th percentile NT-proANP value in normal pregnancies while 42 out of 67 (63) fetuses with CVP gt 6 showed NT-proANP concentrations exceeding the 95th percentile value in normal pregnancies

bull Umbilical artery NT-proANP values correlated inversely and significantly with CVP score values

Validation of CVP score-IUGR

bull Neonates with 5-minute Apgar scores lt 7 had lower CVP scores than with scores gt 7 (6 (2-10) vs 9 (5-10) plt0001)

bull Umbilical artery NT-proANP levels of newborns with CVP score lt 6 were greater (5208 (2850-16030) pmolL) than the levels of neonates with CVP exceeding 6 (1626 (402- 9574) pmolL) p=00001)

bull All NT-proANP values of newborns with CVP score lt6 were above the 95th percentile NT-proANP value in normal pregnancies while 42 out of 67 (63) fetuses with CVP gt 6 showed NT-proANP concentrations exceeding the 95th percentile value in normal pregnancies

bull Umbilical artery NT-proANP values correlated inversely and significantly with CVP score values

Perinatal Cardiology Cardiology for the fetus child and mother

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

Perinatal Cardiology Cardiology for the fetus child and mother

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull Umbilical artery NT-proANP levels of newborns with CVP score lt 6 were greater (5208 (2850-16030) pmolL) than the levels of neonates with CVP exceeding 6 (1626 (402- 9574) pmolL) p=00001)

bull All NT-proANP values of newborns with CVP score lt6 were above the 95th percentile NT-proANP value in normal pregnancies while 42 out of 67 (63) fetuses with CVP gt 6 showed NT-proANP concentrations exceeding the 95th percentile value in normal pregnancies

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

bull A CVPS of ge 6 was the best predictor of

survival (sensitivity 083 specificity 075)

bull All fetuses that died in utero had notching of

the umbilical venous flow

bull The first last and CVPS after 1 week of

treatment predicted survival (Odds ratio 234

Results

bull The overall CVPS increased from baseline

during treatment (p = 0003) in all subjects

bull The CVPS score is useful in assessing

therapeutic effects of digoxin in the fetus

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

bull The observed Odds Ratio of 09252 (95CI 0866 0988)

indicates that a higher CVP score is a protective factor for risk

of death The CVP score is an indicator of risk of death

meaning that for each 1-point score reduction of the CVP

there is an additional 8 risk of death

bull The strongest observed association was between the

cardiothoracic ratio and risk of death The observed OR of

27933 (95CI 1237 to 6309) indicates for each unit of

increase in the CTR ratio results in nearly a 3-fold increased

risk of death in fetuses examined for this investigation

Component Markers Associated with Mortality

Perinatal program outcomes

bull The perinatal outcome of fetal congenital heart defects

is worse than that observed for postnatally identified

infants A possible explanation is the relatively high

incidence of aneuploidy and extracardiac anomalies in

fetal cases
