RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To reach a Delphi-generated international expert consensus on the diagnosis, prognostic, management, and core outcome set (COS) of fetal Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction (LUTO). METHODS: A three-round Delphi procedure was conducted among an international panel of LUTO experts. The panel was provided with a list of literature review-generated parameters for the diagnosis, prognostic, management, and outcomes. A parallel procedure was conducted along with patient groups during the development of COS. RESULTS: A total of 160 experts were approached, of whom 99 completed the first round and 80 (80/99, 80.8%) completed all three rounds. In the first trimester, an objective measurement of longitudinal bladder diameter (with ≥7 mm being abnormal) should be used to suspect LUTO. In the second trimester, imaging parameters of LUTO could include: a) an enlarged bladder, b) a keyhole sign, c) bladder wall thickening, d) bilateral hydro (uretero) nephrosis, and e) male sex. There was a lack of consensus on the current prognostic scoring literature. However, experts agreed on the value of amniotic fluid volume (< 24 weeks) to predict survival and that the value of fetal intervention is to improve neonatal survival. While experts endorsed the role of sonographic parameters of renal dysplasia, at least one vesicocentesis, and urine biochemistry for prognosis and counseling, these items did not reach a consensus for determining fetal intervention candidacy. On the other hand, imaging parameters suggestive of LUTO, absence of life-limiting structural or genetic anomalies, gestational age of ≥16 weeks, and oligohydramnios defined as deepest vertical pocket (DVP) <2 cm should be used as candidacy criteria for fetal intervention based on experts' consensus. If a bladder refill was evaluated, it should be assessed subjectively. Vesicoamniotic shunt should be the first line of fetal intervention. In the presence of suspected fetal renal failure, serial amnioinfusion should only be offered as an experimental procedure under research protocols. The core outcome set for future studies was agreed upon. CONCLUSION: International consensus on the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of fetal LUTO, as well as the Core Outcome Set, should inform clinical care and research to optimize perinatal outcomes.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Congenital lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO) is a rare condition with high perinatal mortality and morbidity when associated with severe oligohydramnios or anhydramnios in the second trimester of pregnancy. Severe pulmonary hypoplasia and end-stage renal disease are the underlying causes of poor neonatal outcome in these cases. However, little is known about the subset of fetal LUTO that is associated with a normal volume of amniotic fluid at midgestation. The objective of the current study was to describe the natural history, underlying causes, survival and postnatal renal function outcomes in pregnancies with fetal LUTO and normal amniotic fluid volume during the second trimester of pregnancy. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of all pregnancies with fetal LUTO and normal amniotic fluid volume in the second trimester that received prenatal and postnatal care at our quaternary care institution between 2013 and 2017. Data on demographic characteristics, fetal interventions, perinatal survival, need for neonatal respiratory support, postnatal renal function and need for dialysis at the age of 1 and 24 months were analyzed. RESULTS: Of the 18 fetuses that met the study criteria, 17 (94.4%) survived the perinatal period. Eleven (61.1%) pregnancies developed oligohydramnios in the third trimester, six of which were eligible for and underwent fetal intervention with vesicoamniotic shunt placement, which was performed successfully in all six cases. Two (11.1%) neonates required respiratory support owing to pulmonary hypoplasia. At the age of 2 years, 14 children had follow-up information available, two (14.3%) of whom had normal renal function, eight (57.1%) had developed some degree of chronic kidney disease (Stage 1-4) and four (28.6%) had developed end-stage renal disease (ESRD), including two who had already manifested ESRD in the neonatal period. CONCLUSIONS: Most fetuses diagnosed prenatally with LUTO that is associated with a normal volume of amniotic fluid at midgestation will have a favorable outcome in terms of perinatal survival and few will need long-term respiratory support. However, these children are still at increased risk for chronic renal disease, ESRD and need for renal replacement therapy. Larger multicenter studies are needed to characterize the prenatal factors associated with postnatal renal function, and to investigate the role of fetal intervention in the group of fetuses that present with late-onset oligohydramnios and evidence of preserved fetal renal function.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine if premature infants greater than 31 weeks of gestation with established hyaline membrane disease (HMD) can be treated with endotracheal continuous positive airway pressure (ETCPAP) after rescue surfactant replacement therapy. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study of 46 premature infants (>31 weeks of gestation) admitted to Texas Children's Hospital with HMD. Tolerance to ETCPAP after surfactant replacement was evaluated. Prenatal and postnatal characteristics and outcome were compared in the success and failure groups. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine predictive factors associated with failure. RESULTS: Thirty infants (65.2%) were successfully treated with rescue surfactant and ETCPAP. Cesarean section, higher 1-minute Apgar score, and higher FiO2 level at entry were independent predictors of failure to remain on CPAP due to hypoxemia (56.3%), hypercapnia (31.2%), and apnea (12.5%). In the success group duration of intubation (p < 0.001), oxygen administration (p < 0.01), >40% oxygen requirement (p < 0.001), hospital stay (p < 0.05), and respiratory support on day 7 (p < 0.001) were significantly favorable. CONCLUSION: Two thirds of infants greater than 31 weeks of gestation, with HMD needing rescue surfactant treatment, can be successfully managed with ETCPAP.
