PREDICTIVE POTENTIAL OF YOLK SAC DIAMETER IN PREGNANCY A COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF FETAL WELL-BEING

Abstract

Introduction: An essential technique in obstetrics, ultrasound makes non-invasive early pregnancy assessment easier. In terms of nutrition exchange, the yolk sac reaches its maximum size by the twelfth week. Pregnancy outcomes can be predicted with the help of transvaginal ultrasound early detection, which allows for prompt intervention and individualised treatment for expectant women.

Related Work: The importance of yolk sac measures in forecasting first-trimester pregnancy outcomes has been highlighted by a number of research. The results show a correlation between aberrant yolk sac parameters (diameter and shape) and poor outcomes.

Aim and Objective: The study aims to quantify yolk sac diameter at a certain gestational age, classify these measurements, and examine the relationship between these measurements and the course of the pregnancy. Through the pursuit of these goals, the study hopes to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the predictive function of yolk sac diameter, which may have an effect on early pregnancy screenings and therapies.

Method: The study, which concentrated on expecting moms between the ages of 6 and 10 weeks gestation. Strict inclusion and exclusion standards guaranteed a representative sample. The yolk sac diameter was assessed using transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS), and accurate results were obtained through careful data collection and ethical concerns.

Result: The yolk sac's size grows as gestational age increases, and diagnostic accuracy tables demonstrate how well yolk sac diameter and shape measurements predict outcomes. These results offer important new information for improving prenatal care.

Discussion: The study examined the predictive significance of yolk sac diameter in 150 pregnant women and found that aberrant yolk sac diameter was associated with greater odds of unfavourable outcomes.

Conclusion: Larger yolk sac diameters have been linked to unfavourable pregnancy outcomes, according to the study, which highlights the significance of routine yolk sac biometry in early pregnancy examinations for improved prognostic insights.
