Abstract of Nuchal cord entanglement articleFrom: GIN11153@aol.comThu Jun 10 02:32:59 2004
Am J Perinatol. 1997 Oct;14(9):555-7. Nuchal cord entanglements and gestational age. Larson JD, Rayburn WF, Harlan VL. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, Oklahoma City, USA. The purpose of this observational study was to investigate the relation between nuchal cord entanglements and gestational age. Computerized data from our hospital perinatal database were reviewed between January 1990 and December 1994. Data from all deliveries > or = 20 weeks' gestation underwent either a Cochran-Mantel test for trend or Chi-square testing where appropriate. Of the 13,895 singleton deliveries, the finding of an entanglement increased significantly from 5.8% at 20 weeks to 29.0% at 42 weeks' gestation. The frequencies increased linearly, regardless of whether the entanglement involved a single loop (p < 0.001) or multiple loops (p < 0.002). The risk of an antepartum stillbirth was not increased in the presence of a nuchal cord entanglement, even after controlling for other risk factors. These normative data should serve as a reference for prenatal ultrasound examinations and for prospective studies intended to evaluate the predictive value of reporting this finding prenatally.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
