Objectives To describe the outcome of growth-restricted fetuses with absent or reversed end-diastolic flow (ARED) in the umbilical artery delivered on fetal indication before 30 gestational weeks. Methods Between 1998 and 2004, 42 fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and ARED in the umbilical artery were delivered liveborn by Cesarean section on fetal indication before 30 gestational weeks. The median gestational age at delivery was 27 + 1 (range, 24 + 4 to 29 + 5) weeks. An additional four fetuses died in utero at a median gestational age of 24 + 2 (range, 23 + 5 to 25 + 4) weeks. Neonatal morbidity, infant mortality and major neurological morbidity of liveborn infants were compared with those in two control groups: all 371 liveborn infants delivered at < 30 weeks during the corresponding time period (Group A) and a subset of these, 42 matched infants without IUGR (Group B). Results Thirty-two fetuses (7%) were delivered within 48 h of the occurrence of ARED (25 absent, seven reversed end-diastolic flow). The remaining 10 fetuses (five absent, five reversed end-diastolic flow) were monitored for a median of 6.5 (range, 3-18) days before delivery. One infant died in the neonatal period and three during the first year of postnatal life (2-year survival 90%). The incidence of chronic lung disease was higher in the A RED Group than in Control Groups A and B (P = 0.001 and P = 0.03, respectively). There were no differences between the groups in the occurrence of necrotizing enterocolitis, cerebral hemorrhage or retinopathy of prematurity. Cerebral palsy was diagnosed in 14% of the index group compared with 11% and 17% of Control Groups A and B (P > 0.05). Conclusions Very preterm growth-restricted fetuses with umbilical artery ARED delivered on fetal indication, in most cases before the occurrence of severe changes in the ductus venosus velocity waveforms and/or fetal heart rate tracings, showed high 2-year survival and low morbidity.
