Abstrakt: Aim: To investigate whether increased fetal adiposity diagnosed ultrasonographical is associated with labor dystocia, and increased risk of operative delivery.
Method: This was a prospective study and included 400 pregnant women between 37 and 41 weeks of gestation. In addition to standard ultrasonographic measurements, we evaluated fetal soft tissue thickness before delivery. We also recorded data on delivery method, shoulder dystocia, fetal birthweight and labor duration. We considered the period between 6 and 10 cm cervical opening as the active phase, and the period from full dilation to birth as the second stage.
Results: While the vaginal delivery rate was 77.3%, a cesarean was performed in 22.7% of pregnant women. We found a positive correlation between fetal adipose tissue components and durations of the active phase and second-stage labor and the baby's birthweight. Also, we examined and determined that cesarean section and labor dystocia increased as the fetus adipose tissue thickness increased. We investigated the effect of parameters on the study results with logistic regression analysis and possible threshold values with receiver operating characteristics analysis.
Conclusion: Our study evaluated the fetal adipose tissue complex during delivery was significant in terms of labor dystocia and operative delivery. We think it may be a guide for future studies in the literature.
