Abstract The assessment of fetal lung maturity has consistently posed a difficulty for obstetricians and pediatricians when dealing with cases of preterm labor and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Neonatal respiratory morbidity, which refers to respiratory distress syndrome or transitory tachypnea of the newborn, is the primary cause of both mortality and morbidity in premature infants. Aim and objectives: to forecast respiratory distress syndrome by employing the noninvasive technique of quantitative ultrasonography characterization of fetal lung texture. Subjects and methods: This study had a total of 304 patients and was carried out at the feto maternity section of Minia Maternity and Children University Hospital. over 3 years Result: In the Control group, the range of the resistance Index (RI) was from 0.58 to 1.04, with a mean ± standard deviation (SD) of 0.82 ± 0.1. In the RD group, the RI varied from 0.53 to 1.06, with a mean ± SD of 0.77 ± 0.13. There was a statistically significant difference (p= 0.002) between the two groups. There was no notable distinction observed in the texture lung study when comparing the two groups utilizing computerized tools. Conclusion: The investigation revealed a substantial and considerable disparity between the groups in terms of Doppler indices. There was no significant difference regarding texture lung analysis. |
