Analysis of prognostic risk factors and development of a predictive model for fetuses with right aortic arch with mirror-image branching: a prognostic evaluation method based on ultrasound parameter features.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prenatal ultrasound plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and classification of right aortic arch (AO) with mirror-image branching (RAA-MB). The recent research in this area has primarily focused on qualitative diagnosis, neglecting the quantitative analysis of ultrasound factors that impact RAA-MB outcomes. This study used echocardiography to measure prenatal ultrasound parameters for vascular ring and trachea in fetuses with RAA-MB, employing a nomogram model to evaluate factors influencing their prognosis, thereby providing a comprehensive characterization of potential outcomes.

Methods

A retrospective case-control study was conducted from March 2019 to March 2023. A systematic gathering of prenatal echocardiograms and clinical data was completed for a cohort c
