Abstract

To investigate histopathologic findings, placental diameters and characteristics of syncytial knots in the placentas from idiopathic intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) pregnancies, and to compare them with a normal birth weight group. Based on strict eligibility criteria, this prospective case-control study included 52 term placentas from idiopathic IUGR pregnancies and 69 term placentas from normal birth weight pregnancies. The study was carried out at the Clinical Hospital Centre, Split, where all placentas were collected and examined. For each placenta, diameters were measured and the following histopathologic findings were recorded: infarction, intervillous thrombosis, abruption, villous branching and maturation, chorioamnionitis, decidual vasculopathy and hemorrhagic endovasculitis for each placenta. In addition we assessed quantitative (number of syncytial knots and number of syncytial nuclei per syncytial knot) and qualitative (density and surface area) characteristics of syncytial knots in each placental sample. Statistical significance was tested using chi(2)-test, Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test. Statistical significance was set at P< or =0.05. There was no difference in investigated histopathologic findi...Continue Reading
