摘要:
目的 采用二维超声联合实时剪切波弹性成像技术( shear wave elastography,SWE)定量评估初产妇孕期、产后早期腹直肌间距(inter-rectus distance,IRD)及硬度,探讨初产妇孕产期IRD与硬度相关性。 方法 选取2021年10月至2022年8月于云南大学附属医院定期产检并足月分娩的初产妇250例,孕期根据孕周分为早孕组、中孕组和晚孕组,产后根据分娩方式分为顺产组和剖宫产组,另选取健康未孕女性50例为对照组。采用二维超声测量IRD,SWE测量腹直肌弹性模量平均值(Emean);比较初产妇孕期及产后IRD及腹直肌硬度的差异,分析二者之间的相关性。 结果 孕期IRD和腹直肌硬度随孕周增加呈上升趋势,差异有统计学意义(P < 0.001);剖宫产组IRD高于顺产组,硬度低于顺产组;孕期BMI与IRD、腹直肌硬度呈正相关(rp = 0.515,0.641,0.564,0.483,0.513,0.462,P < 0.01),IRD与腹直肌硬度呈正相关(rp = 0.559,0.580,0.425,P < 0.01);产后BMI与IRD及硬度不具有相关性(rp = -0.113,-0.071,-0.043,-0.005,-0.086,-0.045,P > 0.05),脐下3cm处IRD与硬度呈微弱负相关(rp = -0.227,P = 0.023)。 结论 二维超声联合SWE技术评估孕产妇IRD及腹直肌硬度具有可行性,可以为产后腹直肌分离的诊断和治疗提供更加直观的临床依据。 Abstract:Objective To evaluate the distance between rectus abdominis muscle (IRD)and the hardness of primipara during the pregnancy and early postpartum by using two-dimensional ultrasound combined with shear wave elastography (SWE), and to explore the correlation between IRD and the hardness of primipara. Methods From October 2021 to August 2022, a total of 250 primipara who received the regular birth check-up in the Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University and delivered at full term were selected. During the pregnancy, they were divided into the early pregnancy group, the middle pregnancy group and late pregnancy group based on the gestational age.After the birth, they were then were divided into the natural birth group and the cesarean section group based on the delivery mode. Another 50 healthy non-pregnant women were selected as the control group. The mean elastic modulus of rectus abdominis (Emean) was measured by two-dimensional ultrasound and SWE. The differences of IRD and the rectus abdominis hardness during the pregnancy and postpartum were compared, and the correlation between them was analyzed. Results IRD and the hardness increased with the gestational age and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). IRD of the cesarean section group was higher than that of the vaginal delivery group, and the hardness was lower than that of the vaginal delivery group. BMI during the pregnancy IRD was positively correlated with IRD and the hardness of rectus abdominis muscle (rp = 0.515, 0.641, 0.564, 0.483, 0.513, 0.462, P < 0.01) and IRD was positively correlated with the hardness of rectus abdominis muscle (rp = 0.559, 0.580, 0.425, P < 0.01). Postpartum BMI had no correlation with the hardness of rectus abdominis muscle (rp = −0.113, −0.071, −0.043, −0.005, −0.086, −0.045, P > 0.05), and IRD was negatively correlated with the hardness at 3cm below the umbilical cord (rp = −0.227, P = 0.023). Conclusion It is feasible to evaluate IRD and the rectus abdominis hardness by 2D ultrasound combined with SWE, which can provide more intuitive clinical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of postpartum rectus abdominis separation. -
