Fetal lung and liver elasticity measurements were performed using 2D shear wave elastography (SWE). Lung and liver elasticity values were compared between neonates who developed RDS and those who did not. The lung-liver elastography (LLE) ratio was also calculated.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2025-0103_abs_003\">\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The minimum, maximum, and median lung elastography values were significantly higher in neonates with RDS compared to the control group (p&lt;0.05). However, liver elastography values were similar between groups. The LLE ratio was also significantly higher in the RDS group (p=0.014). Additionally, neonates with RDS had lower APGAR scores, higher NICU admission rates, and increased need for respiratory support.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2025-0103_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Higher fetal lung elastography values and LLE ratios are associated with an increased risk of RDS in late preterm neonates. Fetal lung elastography may serve as a valuable non-invasive tool for predicting neonatal respiratory complications, potentially guiding perinatal management and treatment strategies.
