Bigelow CA, Robles BN, Pan S, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to assess the effect of placental cord insertion (PCI) distance on outcomes associated with placental function and development of fetal growth restriction (FGR). They analyzed singleton gestations that underwent a fetal anatomy ultrasound from 2011-2013. Of the 1,443 women who met the requirements for inclusion, 93.6% delivered at term. Data reported that the mean (± SD) PCI distance was 4.4 ± 1.4 cm. According to findings, PCI distance at the time of fetal anatomic survey is significantly linked to NICU admission, though does not seem to affect rates of preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, peripartum hemorrhage or cesarean delivery. PCI distance in singleton gestations does not seem to be predictive of FGR.
