The study aimed to determine\nselected factors influencing PTh in 2D prenatal ultrasonographic examination. It might have a special value in difficult cases for interpretation when\nPTh is above or below the reference values.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this retrospective study, we analysed the results\nof foetal ECHO examination of 2833 foetuses performed between June 2016\nand December 2019 in our single unit. 596 healthy foetuses older than\n12 weeks of gestation from singleton pregnancies were enrolled in the\nstudy. The following parameters were used in the further analysis: placental\nimplantation site, gestational age according to the last menstrual period\n(LMP) and foetal biometry (FB); maternal weight, height, and body mass\nindex (BMI) at the time of examination; and PTh.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>PTh was affected by its location: posterior 33 mm vs. anterior 30 mm\n(p &lt; 0.001). Moreover, its thickness significantly correlated with gestational\nage according to FB (r = 0.386, p &lt; 0.001), LMP (r = 0.369, p &lt; 0.001), maternal weight (r = 0.192, p &lt; 0.001), height (r = 0.125, p = 0.002), and BMI (r =\n0.147, p &lt; 0.001), but not with maternal age (r = 0.050, p = 0.219). A linear\nregression model based on these data explained the 16.38% variability of\nthe tested subjects (p &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our observations suggest that maternal weight correlated\nmore strongly with PTh than maternal BMI. For PTh evaluation, it is important to pay attention to the placental implantation site \u2013 the posterior\nplacenta was thicker than the anterior placenta. Moreover, PTh variability\nremains largely unknown; therefore, further research in this field is needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/aoms\/132778","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,11]],"date-time":"2021-03-11T11:29:44Z","timestamp":1615462184000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Placental thickness in the 2D prenatal ultrasonographic examination"],"prefix":"10.5114","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3469-7064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Strzelecka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Foetal Malformations Diagnoses and Prevention, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6551-6804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filip","family":"Karuga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student\u2019s Scientific Association \u201cPrenatal Cardiology\u201d, Medical University of Lodz,\nLodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bartosz","family":"Szmyd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Oncology, and Hematology, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Walter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student\u2019s Scientific Association \u201cPrenatal Cardiology\u201d, Medical University of Lodz,\nLodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Daszkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student\u2019s Scientific Association \u201cPrenatal Cardiology\u201d, Medical University of Lodz,\nLodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0238-2172","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Respondek-Liberska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for Foetal Malformations Diagnoses and Prevention, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,5]]},"container-title":["Archives of Medical Science"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.archivesofmedicalscience.com\/pdf-132778-62427","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.archivesofmedicalscience.com\/pdf-132778-62427","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,29]],"date-time":"2021-10-29T14:14:36Z","timestamp":1635516876000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.archivesofmedicalscience.com\/Placental-thickness-in-the-2D-prenatal-ultrasonographic-examination,132778,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,5]]},"references-count":0,"alternative-id":["132778"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5114\/aoms\/132778","relation":{},"ISSN":["1734-1922","1896-9151"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1734-1922","type":"print"},{"value":"1896-9151","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,5]]}}}
