Prenatal predictors of newborn intestinal obstruction

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This retrospective observational study reviews records of newborns at Meyer Children's Hospital who had prenatal ultrasound findings suggestive of intestinal obstruction and available postnatal follow-up. Investigators will compare prenatal ultrasound features—particularly measured fetal bowel dilation but also polyhydramnios, ascites, echogenic bowel, and other abdominal findings—with confirmed postnatal diagnoses of intestinal obstruction. The primary aim is to identify a specific cutoff value for fetal bowel dilation that best predicts true obstruction after birth. Inclusion requires singleton pregnancies with complete prenatal and postnatal data, while cases with missing delivery or ultrasound information are excluded.
