Résumé

No previous study has evaluated the transitions of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound parameters during labor progression in cephalic malposition. We aimed to quantitate the characteristic trends of fetal head position and descent in cephalic malposition by analyzing the transitions of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound parameters and explore an indicator associated with the degree of cephalic malposition. We retrospectively analyzed pregnant women who delivered at term from January 2018 to December 2020 at the University of Tokyo Hospital. The fetal occipital position was classified as occiput anterior and nonocciput anterior according to the fetal occipital angle of 0° to 75° and 75° to 180°, respectively. Fetal occipital angle was defined by the midline angle and position of the ocular orbit. The differences in the trends of head direction, head-symphysis distance, and progression distance relative to the angle of progression between occiput anterior and nonocciput anterior cases were evaluated. In addition, the parameters that showed differences were analyzed to evaluate their relationship to the degree of cephalic malposition. A total of 502 images (occiput anterior, 319; nonocciput anterior, 183) met the inclusion criteria. The distribution of head direction values relative to the angle of progression was smaller in the nonocciput anterior group than in the occiput anterior group, whereas the head-symphysis distance and progression distance values relative to the angle of progression showed no difference in their distribution between the occiput anterior and nonocciput anterior groups. The ratio of head direction to the angle of progression was significantly smaller in the nonocciput anterior group than in the occiput anterior group (median [interquartile range], 0.03 [-0.02 to 0.10] vs 0.21 [0.12-0.28]; P<.0001). Furthermore, this ratio was negatively correlated with fetal occipital angle (Spearman correlation coefficient, -0.66). Our results indicated that the head direction to angle of progression ratio reflects the deviation in the fetal head direction toward the maternal dorsal side, and decreases in proportion to the degree of cephalic malposition. This concept of deviation in the head direction as an indicator for evaluating cephalic malposition with intrapartum transperineal ultrasound may contribute to improving labor management in the case of cephalic malposition.

BACKGROUND
No previous study has evaluated the transitions of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound parameters during labor progression in cephalic malposition.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to quantitate the characteristic trends of fetal head position and descent in cephalic malposition by analyzing the transitions of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound parameters and explore an indicator associated with the degree of cephalic malposition.
STUDY DESIGN
We retrospectively analyzed pregnant women who delivered at term from January 2018 to December 2020 at the University of Tokyo Hospital. The fetal occipital position was classified as occiput anterior and nonocciput anterior according to the fetal occipital angle of 0° to 75° and 75° to 180°, respectively. Fetal occipital angle was defined by the midline angle and position of the ocular orbit. The differences in the trends of head direction, head-symphysis distance, and progression distance relative to the angle of progression between occiput anterior and nonocciput anterior cases were evaluated. In addition, the parameters that showed differences were analyzed to evaluate their relationship to the degree of cephalic malposition.
RESULTS
A total of 502 images (occiput anterior, 319; nonocciput anterior, 183) met the inclusion criteria. The distribution of head direction values relative to the angle of progression was smaller in the nonocciput anterior group than in the occiput anterior group, whereas the head-symphysis distance and progression distance values relative to the angle of progression showed no difference in their distribution between the occiput anterior and nonocciput anterior groups. The ratio of head direction to the angle of progression was significantly smaller in the nonocciput anterior group than in the occiput anterior group (median [interquartile range], 0.03 [-0.02 to 0.10] vs 0.21 [0.12-0.28]; P<.0001). Furthermore, this ratio was negatively correlated with fetal occipital angle (Spearman correlation coefficient, -0.66).
CONCLUSION
Our results indicated that the head direction to angle of progression ratio reflects the deviation in the fetal head direction toward the maternal dorsal side, and decreases in proportion to the degree of cephalic malposition. This concept of deviation in the head direction as an indicator for evaluating cephalic malposition with intrapartum transperineal ultrasound may contribute to improving labor management in the case of cephalic malposition.
