Ultrasound screening of umbilical cord abnormalities and delivery management
Abstract
With the improvement of prenatal diagnoses of foetuses, the prevalence of stillbirth due to foetal anomaly after mid-gestation decreased, whereas that of stillbirth associated with umbilical cord factors tended to increase. Prenatal detection of umbilical cord abnormalities and appropriate management during the antenatal period and delivery based on the ultrasound diagnosis will improve the perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. In the present review, the strategy to reduce the incidence of foetal compromise due to umbilical cord problems is discussed considering the current knowledge regarding the physiological and pathological aspects of umbilical cord abnormalities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
