Etiologic Diagnosis

Objective. To evaluate the quality of prenatal results in all cases of termination of pregnancy (TOP) due to fetal abnormalities in a tertiary prenatal diagnosis center. Material and Methods. Retrospective analysis of the 385 TOP performed on our department due to fetal abnormalities between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2007. We compared all data for agreement between the ultrasound, genetic, and postmortem findings, regarding the abnormalities identified in the etiological diagnosis and its prognosis. Results. Chromosome abnormalities were the most common indication for TOP (39%), followed by abnormalities of CNS (20%), monogenic disorders (11%), sequences (9.6%), polimalformative syndromes (5.2%), and isolated congenital heart diseases (4%). Total agreement was 21%. Further abnormalities were identified in 79%. The data collected after TOP changed the etiologic diagnosis in 21% but the prognosis was changed in only one fetus. Discussion. This study corroborates the necessity of a multidisciplinary team in prenatal diagnosis centers. Their work remarkably improves the genetic counseling and represents an important aspect in quality control of the information given to a couple previously to a TOP.

Aim. To find out the problems in children health in long-time postoperative period after cardiosurgery using the comprehensive method for creating rehabilitation program.Methods. A prospective investigation of group of children was done before (n = 88) and in a year (n = 115), in 2 years (n = 90) and in 3 years (n = 58) after the surgical correction of congenital heart defects on the base of Kuzbass cardiological center. The anamnesis, clinical and hemodynamic aspects were studied as well as the postoperative period, residual problems after the correction, social status of the family and the comprehensive assessment was done in the both groups.Results. Before the correction the most part of children had low and very low levels of physical functioning, but there was a positive dynamic right after the surgery: the most part of children had high and middle levels (13% and 44% in a year), while the amount of children with low and very low data were reduced. Nevertheless, in 3 years after the surgery the amount of children with low and very low data was increased while the hemodynamic became better. Such tendency was mentioned with all aspects of the health.Conclusion. Despite of hemodynamic normalization the quality of life with all aspects still suffers. It predicts dangers in development and quality of life in general.
