Equations for prediction of echocardiographic parameters in fetuses with left CDH that survived after birth.
| Parameter | Coefficient (β)* | Constant | Root MSE | Adjusted R2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MV diameter (n = 92) | 1.2883 | −4.6913 | 0.1521 | 0.62 |
| AV diameter (n = 87) | 1.1508 | −4.8060 | 0.1513 | 0.57 |
| LV length (n = 90) | 1.1145 | −3.1666 | 0.1771 | 0.47 |
| LV width (n = 81) | 1.3237 | −5.3737 | 0.3022 | 0.31 |
| TV diameter (n = 92) | 1.2398 | −4.2647 | 0.1702 | 0.54 |
| PV diameter (n = 89) | 1.2327 | −4.6852 | 0.1256 | 0.68 |
Mean predicted value = exp [(β * gestational age) + constant].
MV, mitral valve; AV, aortic valve; LV, left ventricle; TV, tricuspid valve; PV, pulmonic valve.
*All coefficients were statistically significant (p < 0.001).
