  1. Ruth C Fretts MD, MPHAssistant ProfessorHarvard Medical SchoolHVMARFetts@vmed.org Stillbirth: Prevention Lets talk! Risk assessment Decreased fetal movement

  2. Objectives • Put stillbirth on your radar • Learn the risk factors for late stillbirth • What are possible strategies for prevention, focus on decreased fetal movement and the risk assessment strategies

  3. “HOW COME NO ONE EVEN MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF A STILLBIRTH UNTIL WE HAD ONE!

  4. Gardosi et al

  5. Gardosi et al

  6. Born “Still Forever”- • Lifelong impact on family • Stillbirth is common >1/200 in US • Frame this risk against other life changing events • Focus on Risk Assessment • Management of decreased fetal movement

  7. Case 1 33 yr old G2 P0 (sab11 weeks) • Japanese women history of infertility but conceived spontaneously • Received BCG as a child, neg Chest XR

  8. Case 1 • Noted at 29w size < dates (SFH 27), “watch for growth” • 31 2/7 no complaints (SFH 29) • 35 3/7 no complaints (SFH 32), plan US following week, discussed FM NST done because of low baseline, reactive • 36 2/7 (SFH 31) US fetal weight 10-25% BPP 8/8 • 37 5/7 reported decreases FM for 4 days (SFH 33) plan bi weekly NST

  9. Case 1 • 38 1/7 (SFH 33) NST reactive, reviewed kick counting • 38 4/7 (SFH 34) NST reactive • 39 2/7 Reactive NST (SFH 36) US 9% nl fluid normal doppler • 39 4/7 Fetal distress on labor APGAR 0, 0, 3 baby (5 lb 12 oz) 3% for growth, c-section under general • Baby had severe hypoxic encephalopathy, seizures (MRI showed severe hypoxic encephalopathy)

  10. Case 1 • Poor outcome, worsening placental dysfunction not recognized in spite of normal testing (falling off the growth curve) • Growth restriction and decreased fetal movement at term- beware that antepartum testing is falsely reassuring

  11. Case • 43 yr old IVF pregnancy presents at 40 4/7 weeks with decreased FM for 2 days. Advised that the baby had less room to drink a cold drink and if still concerned to make her way to the hospital • NST was performed which was reactive • Seen at 40 6/7 weeks still reported DFM • Returned later that evening no FH.

  12. Out-come based on if the person on call believes that DFM maters No standard protocol Typical NST>Home Missed opportunity to review other potential risks We know multiple consultations is associated with increased risk* LETS TALK… DFM at TERM Alex Heazell in press

  13. Elliot’ Dad • Worried about Down’s, normal nuchal scan, so relieved • Comments to Nicki “You don’t look 43!” • Noted DFM 40 +3, and 40 +4, NST normal, seen by the midwife, OB gave the “all clear” on the phone, trying to get away Friday evening. • 40 6/7 seen Still DFM thought they were being paranoid because the NST was normal, went for a walk around the pond, told to eat something and then return. Returned IUFD, unexplained.

  14. Faster Trial your first obstetric visit • Triple screen • Quad screen • NT PAPP-A, free Bets-hCG • Integrated NT PAPP-A, free Bets-hCG, plus Quad screen • Serum Integrated PAPP-A plus Quad • Step wise Sequential • Contingent sequential combined first.

  15. Faster Trial • 38,033 women • Cost per Down’s syndrome detected was between $690,427 and $719,675 Ball et al Obstet Gynecol 2007

  16. Management and Perception of Risk Hook EB. JAMA 1983:249 and Hook EB. Obstet Gynecol 1981, and adapted from Reddy et al 2006 Am J Obstet Gynecol *data only given for those less than 35.

Kellar, The impact of the interaction between increasing gestational age and obstetrical risk on birth outcomes: evidence of a varying optimal time of delivery, J Perinatol26 (2006), pp. 392–402

  31. Optimal Timing of Delivery • Low risk- 37 1/7 - 41 0/7 • HT 39 2/7- 40 1/7 • AMA 38 5/7- 39 6/7 • model did not work for DM because most of babies were admitted to the NICU to observe glucose levels

  32. Hmmmm- • Until with have randomized controlled trials assessing the risk and benefit of expectant verses active management all we can do is discuss what we know • DFM • AMA • RACE • Obesity

  36. Gestational Age and Percentile Growth for Stillbirths with a History of DFM

  37. What are the useful tools Norway?... the peers’ experience of 2,930 cases of DFM ... Tools needed to detect pathology: Test Usage Proved When Only When useful path. finding path. NST 97.5% 3.2% 23.4% 1.2% 9.9% Ultrasound 94.0% 11.6% 86.2% 8.7% 71.3% Doppler 47.3% 1.9% 14.1% 0.2% 1.7%

  38. Growth Restriction • 44% of the stillbirths were growth restricted (<4%)

  39. Normal pregnancy Froen et al Pregnancy in non-smoking mother, younger than 35 years, with BMI < 25, leading to a vaginal delivery at term of a healthy baby between the 10th and 90th birth weight centile. Mean time to count to ten is 00:09:14. N=305

  40. The 2 h ”alarm” occurs in 9.1% of these pregnancies Pregnancy while smoking Froen et al Fewer FM towards term N=33 Pregnancy in smoking women. Mean time to count to ten is 00:12:44.

  41. The 2 h ”alarm” occurs in 9.0% of these pregnancies Pregnancy in obesity Froen et al Fewer FM towards term Fewer FM throughoutpregnancy N=111 Pregnancy in obese women (BMI > 30). Mean time to count to ten is 00:15:28.

  42. The 2 h ”alarm” occurs in 9.9% of these pregnancies Pregnancy ending in emergency Cesarean section Fewer FM throughout pregnancy Fewer FM towards term N=81 Pregnancy leading to delivery by an emergency Cesarean section. Mean time to count to ten is 00:13:37.

  43. The 2 h ”alarm” occurs in 13.5% of these pregnancies Specificity 97.6% Pregnancy ending in preterm delivery Fewer FM towards time of delivery N=37 Pregnancy leading to a preterm delivery. Mean time to count to ten is 00:12:32.

  44. Undetected IUGR in stillbirths Only between 11- 20 % of pregnancies that end in a stillbirth in a severely growth restricted baby are detected prior to the stillbirth

  45. Early prenatal care Black women and immigrants Screen for congenital anomalies Optimize health, smoking, weight gain Reduce multiples Improve awareness and management of decreased fetal movement Individualize risk assessment late in pregnancy, include race, age, obesity, parity on treating a women when she is “post-dates” Prevention
