Do [ Non-immune hydrops fetalis -- prognostic factors based on fetal echo ( analysis in 230 cases ) ]?
Multiple structural anomalies and cardiological anomalies causing NIHF are connected with poor prognosis for fetus or neonate. Congestive heart failure coexisting with NIHF (in our series in about 44%) significantly increased mortality ratio what point the special role of fetal echocardiography. Relatively better prognosis was observed possible in cases with NIHF without structural anomalies and mild intensify or due to infection but without cardiac anomalies. In selected fetuses therapy in utero may increase the survival ratio.
We found little evidence that a cancer diagnosis motivates health-protective changes. Given the importance of healthy lifestyles, strategies for effective support for behaviour change in cancer survivors need to be identified.
