A Cohort of Severe Placental Fetal Growth Restriction (CoSFGR)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Through multicenter study, the investigators aim to refine the process for precise prenatal diagnosis of fetal growth restriction (FGR), establish a cohort for severe maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM)-FGR, and conduct follow-up study to identify prognostic factors associated with both short-term and long-term outcomes.

Detailed Description
FGR refers to the inadequate growth of the fetus due to various pathological factors, and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates, with close link to adverse long-term outcomes. This cohort will based on the establishment of a precise prenatal diagnostic process for FGR, and aims to establish a cohort for severe MVM-FGR. Severe singleton FGR cases (EFW or AC<3%, or EFW<10% with abnormal doppler blood flow) from multiple centers will be included. Prenatal genetic and microbial testing, and ultrasound will be performed to rule out associated fetal factors. Fetal intrauterine status will be closely monitored and assessed during pregnancy, with follow-up studies conducted up to 2 years of age. Pathological examination of the placenta will be conducted after delivery, with genetic testing when necessary.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Distribution of etiology in severe FGR fetuses [during the pregnancy, up to an average gestational age of 40 weeks]
genetic, maternal or placenta
- Incidence of perinatal death of MVM-FGR [death during the pregnancy (average gestational age of 40 weeks), or death in 28 days after birth]
Incidence of intrauterine Fetal death (IUFD) or neonatal death
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Gestational age at birth [the day at birth]
Gestational age at birth
- Neonatal morbidities [pregnancy-born after 28 days]
including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis,hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and etc.
- birthweight [the day at birth]
birthweight of the neonate
- incidence of abnormal neurodevelopment [2 years after birth]
incidence of any abnormal neurodevelopment diagnosed by doctor.
